The National Kurultai (Congress) continues
to strengthen its position as one of the key mechanisms for shaping the public
agenda, as evidenced by the results of the expert platform’s work this year. At
a meeting of the sections of the advisory and consultative body, State Counsellor
Erlan Karin highlighted steady economic growth, the launch of new production
facilities, the creation of permanent jobs, widespread construction of social
infrastructure facilities, the continued modernization of transport
infrastructure, and other significant achievements. All these positive
development outcomes are the result of the large-scale reforms initiated by President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the State Counsellor emphasized. He also noted that the
parliamentary reform initiated by the Head of State became a logical
continuation of a large-scale political modernization within the formula Strong
President - Influential Parliament - Accountable Government. Currently, the working
group on parliamentary reform is actively engaging with experts and the public,
maintaining an ongoing dialogue with society. Karin also specifically addressed
the instructions of the Head of State and the proposals put forward by members
of the National Kurultai at its fourth meeting held in Burabai.
«We have adopted a special plan consisting of 53 points. It provides, in particular, for the preparation of 10 draft laws on various areas. The plan also includes the adoption of several regulatory documents,» Erlan Karin noted.
A number of important conceptual documents have also
been developed, including one that defines the key principles and directions of
domestic policy. It is worth noting that some of the objectives set within the
framework of the National Kurultai have already been successfully achieved, and
work continues. In particular, preparations are underway for a unified program
titled «Children of
Kazakhstan»,
alongside the development of legislative provisions on the creation of science
cities, the regulation of non-governmental organizations, and comprehensive
support for children with special needs. Following the meeting, members of the
National Kurultai expressed support for the initiatives put forward by the Head
of State and shared their proposals across a number of specific areas. The
fifth meeting of the National Kurultai is scheduled to take place in Kyzylorda
next year.
