Dear compatriots!

I congratulate you on May 7—Defender of the Fatherland Day
of the Republic of Kazakhstan!

This day is a sign of special respect for all citizens who defend
the country’s peace and ensure the security of our state.
Defending the Fatherland is a sacred duty and a great responsibility for every citizen.

Our country’s Armed Forces are the pillar of our independence
and the guarantor of peaceful life. Their heroic labor and dedicated service always deserve the highest honors.

I wish you good health, tireless efforts, success in your work,
and well-being for your families!

With best wishes,
