CONGRATULATIONS BY KASSYM-JOMART TOKAYEV ON THE REPUBLIC DAY

Dear compatriots!

I congratulate you on the Republic Day!

The Declaration of State Sovereignty of Kazakhstan opened the way to our sacred Independence.

Therefore, this document is of historical importance.

Since this year, we are celebrating the Republic Day in a new way, this day has received the status of a national holiday.

I am sure that this initiative will receive wide support in society and will become a good tradition.

Republic Day is a bright holiday designed to raise the spirit of the people, strengthen statehood, strengthen our unity and solidarity.

We have begun to build a Just Kazakhstan. This high goal can be achieved only with the active participation of all Kazakhstanis, because the main support and the greatest wealth of the state are citizens!

On the occasion of the revived national holiday, a ceremony of raising the national flag will be held in the regions. This is an important event aimed at strengthening patriotism, the spirit of our people, national identity. Our sky-blue banner embodies values such as sovereignty, freedom, unity and peace.

We are faithful to the precepts of our ancestors, who always carried our banner high. Therefore, the flag-raising ceremony will demonstrate the deep meaning of the national holiday.

We have no other Fatherland except Kazakhstan.

We have clear aspirations and common goals.

We will always sacredly honour Independence and strengthen our statehood.

We have one Motherland, one state, one people!

Together we will build a Just Kazakhstan!

Once again, I congratulate you on the Republic Day!

I wish you all good health and prosperity!

Let the sovereignty of our country grow stronger!
