Dear fellow countrymen!
I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan! Anticipating Independence Day, today's holiday symbolizes the most important role of Elbasy Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev in the formation and development of our country. Thanks to his course towards unity, multi-vector and consistent economic policy, Kazakhstan is celebrating the next anniversary of independence with a strong and confidently growing state - a state that has united peace-loving and hardworking people.
After 30 years, unity, mutual respect, respect for ancestors and traditions, striving for knowledge, work and pragmatism remain the main guidelines for the people of Kazakhstan. It is these qualities that in the new era unite citizens into a nation of creators - Elbasy said this, promulgating the set of principles "Seven Pillars of Statehood".
Let the pillars on which our independence is based grow stronger from year to year! Good health, strength and prosperity to you and your loved ones!
