"We Almaty citizens are proud that the approval of state symbols, the Constitution, the national currency was held in Almaty. These are the golden pages of the history of our native land and the whole country. State symbols are filled with a deep sacral meaning. They reflect the national spirit, history, culture and traditions, the unique identity of our country. They form their own national code, which, as the President said, makes any nation a nation. And, at the same time, state symbols are the spokesmen of those fundamental values and qualities that determine the essence of the spiritual modernization announced by the Head of State and which the Kazakhstan people should now orient themselves on. It is openness, readiness for change and improvement, aspiration for the future. To realize the historical goal of independent Kazakhstan is the entering to the community of advanced countries, becoming a strong, prosperous state, "B. Baibek said.
