Goals of the fourth decade of the country's Independence

In his article, the Head of State noted that this year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Independence. This is an important milestone indicating the strengthening of the Kazakh statehood. From a historical point of view, 30 years is one moment. And yet, for many peoples, this was an era in which difficulties and joys, crises and development were replaced. We also went through all this.
As the President noted, now every conscious citizen is concerned about the questions: What have we achieved in 30 years? What kind of country will we leave to future generations? What else needs to be done to strengthen our statehood? This is an important moment when we need to compare our goals and achievements, recall the past in order to get a new impetus for moving forward, evaluate our advantages and disadvantages. These 30 years can be divided into three decades, each of which has its own content.
According to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the first decade can be called the period when the foundation of the new Kazakhstan was laid. During this period, under the leadership of Elbasy, a management system was formed, a national currency was introduced, the Armed Forces were created, the Basic Law was adopted, and diplomatic relations with foreign states were established. Kazakhstan has become a member of reputable international organizations. The Strategy "Kazakhstan-2030"was adopted. The borders with the neighbors in the East were defined, negotiations on the delimitation of borders with other neighboring states were started. The territory of the country was completely freed from nuclear weapons. The capital of the country was moved to the center of Saryarka. The transition to a market economy has been made, the institution of private property has been firmly established. Young people have started studying in the leading educational institutions of the world. A National fund has been created to overcome various crises. Our tribesmen all over the world were given the opportunity to return to their ancestral homeland.
The second decade was a period of strengthening the state, increasing the potential of the economy. All land borders were legally approved. The Program "Cultural Heritage"has been implemented. The Northern Aral Sea has been saved. Kazakhstan has initiated congresses of leaders of world and traditional religions, OSCE, CICA Summits and a number of other international projects. Significant foreign investments were attracted to the country. The new capital on the bank of Yesil has become a national idea. The implementation of major infrastructure projects, such as the international transport corridor "Western Europe-Western China", has begun. Housing construction was developing at an unprecedented pace.
In the third decade of Independence, Kazakhstan became a prosperous state. The border issues were finally resolved. The Strategy "Kazakhstan-2050" was adopted, the goal was set to become one of the 50 most developed countries. Large-scale programs were implemented in each direction. Along with political and economic reforms, special importance was attached to spiritual revival. The Head of State noted that all this was achieved thanks to the talented leadership of the Elbasy and the wisdom of the people of Kazakhstan, its unity and cooperation, the hard work of Kazakhstanis. Therefore, it would be fair to say that Elbasy has become an eternal symbol of Independence.
Speaking about the goals of the fourth decade, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stressed that the main task is to be a strong state and a competitive nation. To do this, we need to continue political and economic reforms, modernization of public consciousness. The goal is to create a fair society and an effective state. If the principle of justice is followed in every case, then these goals are definitely achievable.
