Kazakhstan will develop a national cleanliness standard. The initiative was proposed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who took part in the national environmental campaign «Taza Qazaqstan». The Head of State emphasized the need to take the campaign to a qualitatively new level. The unique project is contributing to changes in public consciousness and national identity. «Taza Qazaqstan» is fostering entirely new qualities and values among Kazakh citizens. Well-maintained parks and courtyards, along with safe, comfortable cities, not only create an attractive image of Kazakhstan abroad but also strengthen citizens’ patriotism, pride in their country, and desire to contribute. The work to improve the quality of life will continue, the President stressed.
«Socially important infrastructure – schools, hospitals, cultural and sports facilities – is being built across all regions. Tens of thousands of kilometers of roads and railways have been built across the country. This work will continue. Kazakhstan must become a vast construction site, a territory of creation. We must ensure the highest quality of construction. I will pay the closest attention to this issue and keep it under my strict personal control,» Tokayev said.
Astana is developing rapidly and shaping a cohesive design code and a distinctive architectural style. The capital is creating an integrated system of public spaces along the Yessil River. At the same time, a continuous green route is taking shape across the city, linking parks, walking and sports areas in different parts of the capital. President Tokayev has instructed that the experience of the Astana Urbanism Center be promptly scaled up in other regions as well. The centre has successfully applied modern international approaches to urban development to create a comfortable environment for city residents.
«We have become one of the few countries in the world to enshrine volunteering at the highest legal level – in our Constitution. At the United Nations, I also proposed establishing an International Day of Greening the Planet, building on our nationwide Taza Qazaqstan campaign. This initiative was supported by virtually all members of the UN General Assembly. All of this demonstrates that Kazakhstan is keeping pace with progressive trends, taking responsibility for peaceful life on Earth and, within its capabilities, contributing to this noble cause,» Tokayev added.
The Head of State placed particular emphasis on the state’s social responsibility. He stressed that Kazakhstan is fully meeting its constitutional obligations to provide free healthcare. Women receive support during their three-year maternity leave, including benefits, while retaining their jobs. Children also receive support: all pupils in grades 1 to 4 are provided with free meals. Additionally, all children with hearing impairments will receive free hearing aids. The President instructed the Government to urgently establish production in Kazakhstan.
