“On 28 October, in this very hall, we listened to the President’s Address entitled ‘Kazakhstan’s Key Objectives in a New Historical Era’. Today, national information groups are holding meetings in the regions to explain the objectives outlined in the Address to the public.
“Our university is a shared centre of education and research for young people from across the Turkic world. The university community supports the political reforms being implemented in our country and continues to contribute to their implementation. Today, our students, scholars and colleagues have gathered to discuss the significance of the major initiatives and key objectives raised in the Head of State’s Address to the people of Kazakhstan.”
Dikhan Kamzabekuly, a deputy of the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan and a member of the Adilet Party faction, then addressed the participants:
“The 21st century is an exceptionally important historical period for all of us. It is no coincidence that the President entitled his Address ‘Kazakhstan’s Key Objectives in a New Historical Era’. Dear young people, you are the builders of this new historical era. In the future, you will govern the country and contribute to the development of various sectors. Therefore, this Address is intended primarily for you.
“One of the key objectives set out in the Address is to develop the economy and address social issues. In this regard, the concept of nation-building is of particular importance. Building does not merely mean constructing buildings; it means developing the country together and uniting around common goals. Each of us must work in our respective field and direct our knowledge and experience towards the benefit of the country. Our unity, knowledge and creativity form a solid foundation for the nation’s future.”
Abdulla Ismatullayev, a member of the People’s Council of Kazakhstan and Chairman of the Association of Legal Entities “Association of Uzbek Ethnocultural Organizations ‘Dustlik’,” encouraged young people to take bold initiatives and bring their new ideas to life. He noted that Kazakhstan has considerable potential to develop artificial intelligence and information technology and emphasized the importance of making effective use of young people’s knowledge and capabilities in these areas. He also stated that achieving success requires perseverance in pursuing one’s goals without fear of difficulties or mistakes. He encouraged young people to believe in themselves, build teams and implement innovative projects.
Vice Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nazgul Khatepova noted that every opportunity had been created for young people to receive a high-quality education and pursue continuous professional development. She highlighted the importance of the agricultural sector to the national economy and stressed the need to develop it through modern technologies.
She emphasized that the development of agriculture depends not only on agricultural specialists but also on economists, lawyers, managers and other qualified professionals. In this regard, she encouraged young people to pursue employment in rural areas.
She also addressed the objectives of transitioning from raw-material exports to the production of finished, high-value-added goods, expanding advanced grain processing and producing competitive products for international markets.
“The Head of State devoted particular attention in his Address to the shortage of water resources in our country and set the objectives of using water efficiently and economically, reducing water losses and introducing modern technologies into irrigated agriculture.
“A new Water Code has been adopted in this area, and work is under way to modernise water-management infrastructure. Construction has begun on two reservoirs in the Turkistan Region with a combined capacity of 69 million cubic meters. Work is continuing to introduce water-saving technologies on irrigated land and digitalize water-resource management.
“In the future, plans include developing water-reuse systems, improving water-resource accounting and bringing the National Water Resources Information System into full operation. All these measures are intended to ensure the country’s water security and the efficient management of its water resources,” said Talgat Momyshev, Vice Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the participants held an extensive discussion of the objectives outlined in the Address in the economic, social and agricultural spheres, as well as those concerning the efficient use of water resources. The speakers placed particular emphasis on the contribution young people can make to the country’s development and the importance of high-quality education and professional competence.
