December 16, 2023
Dear compatriots!
Happy Independence Day!
This holiday is a symbol of the indestructible unity of our people. Independence Day personifies the freedom and independent development of Kazakhstan in new historical conditions.
On this auspicious day, we pay tribute to the national heroes who played an outstanding role in realizing the dream of our ancestors for a sovereign state.
Independence has opened new horizons for our country. It was after the declaration of Independence that the process of diplomatic recognition of Kazakhstan began, turning it into a full-fledged subject of international law.
Independence is above all! Our duty to past and future generations is to preserve and defend with all our might the sacred Independence as the greatest value underlying the well-being and prosperity of the nation.
We confidently follow our strategic course, strengthening our statehood step by step. The profound transformations that have begun in all spheres of life have opened a new chapter in our centuries-old historical chronicle. We are creating a Fair Kazakhstan – a country of equal opportunities and progress. And we will certainly achieve this lofty goal, relying on such values as unity and stability, law and order, responsibility and solidarity, the cult of knowledge and work.
I wish you all good health, happiness and success!
Let the flag of our Motherland always rise!
Let our Independence grow stronger!
