During his working visit to Temirtau, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met with Qarmet employees. The Head of State emphasized that the Karaganda plant is the flagship of the domestic metallurgical industry and plays a significant role in strengthening the country’s industrial potential. The manufacturing sector’s share of the national economy is growing and has already exceeded 14%. The output of heavy industry enterprises alone has exceeded 4 trillion tenge. These achievements, along with Qarmet’s active development and modernization, are closely linked to the large-scale transformations taking place across the country. The Head of State stressed that Kazakhstan has entered a new historical cycle.
«A solid framework for the country’s political structure has been established. These reforms are being carried out primarily to strengthen the state, which is particularly important amid the emergence of a new reality in global politics and the economy, one that is still not fully understood. Kazakhstan must be well prepared to thrive in an entirely new world where artificial intelligence will dominate, with all its advantages, drawbacks and even threats to established ways of life,» Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted.
According to the President, Kazakhstan is embarking on an unprecedented construction and renewal of civil infrastructure across the country. Around 6.5 trillion tenge will be allocated to the People’s Construction initiative. Roads, airports, railway stations, power plants, hospitals, schools and sports facilities will be built or renovated in all regions. Qarmet’s strong production base will also play a major role in this initiative. Kazakh steel is already being used in construction and industry, and production of premium steel grades is set to begin soon.
«The entire meaning of the People’s Construction initiative can be expressed in simple words: Build, and build again. Indeed, we must leave a tangible legacy for present and future generations, not just programs and concepts, valuable as they may be, but something concrete, above all, social infrastructure facilities. Our people deserve to live in much more comfortable conditions and enjoy all the benefits of modern civilization. Our strategy for building a Just Kazakhstan is aimed at achieving these goals,» Kassym-Jomart Tokayev added.
The President once again stressed that peace and stability must be maintained and Law and Order must prevail to ensure the successful continuation of reforms within the country. Kazakhstan is a peace-loving nation committed to developing cooperation with all interested states. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev highly praised the contribution of Qarmet employees to the country’s industrial development. In recognition of their professionalism and dedication, the President presented state awards to a number of employees.
