Congratulations of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the Defenders of the Fatherland Day
Dear compatriots!
I congratulate you on the occasion of Defender of the Fatherland Day!
This holiday is very important for strengthening the values of peace and tranquility in our country.
True patriotism is clearly manifested in the fulfillment of military duty, because selfless service to the motherland and the nation is a sacred duty of every responsible citizen.
Kazakhstan attaches great importance to the protection of national interests, preservation of territorial integrity and stability of society. Our brave army serves as a guarantor of the country's sovereignty and an inviolable pillar of our statehood.
We see the potential of the Armed Forces not only in training camps, but also in the performance of specific operational tasks. Soldiers and officers were at the forefront of the fight against the recent major floods. They carried out the mission entrusted to them flawlessly, setting a worthy example of true patriotism.
Strengthening the country's defense capability and supporting the military are the constant priorities of state policy.
Long live our army!
I wish you all good health and prosperity!
