Gratitude day is, first of all, a manifestation of respect for our common history, it is a bright holiday of charity, friendship and love of all Kazakhstanis to each other, a holiday that brings the citizens of our country closer together.

As part of the 20-year creation of the Assembly of people of Kazakhstan, the Head of state declared March 1 a day of gratitude.
