Nursultan Nazarbayev congratulated all women of the country on the upcoming holiday, noting that the Kazakh people have always treated women with respect.  

“In the midst of hard times women stood against all sorts of difficulties, demonstrating their strong will and perseverance. Over the years of independence, women have made a great contribution to the making of the state and strengthening of its basis. Today their work gives special impetus to the development of our country,” he said.

The Head of State stressed that women play a central role in the welfare of each family, along with global competitiveness of Kazakhstan.  

“Nowadays the gap between the roles that women play in society is rapidly growing. In one part of the world, there are countries where women are locked up at home. In another part of the world, there are states where women, on the contrary, become estranged from their families, lose interest in children and procreation. The location of our country between those two extremes is a happy medium. Our women brilliantly realize their potential at work, in art, sport and science. At the same time women are homemakers. Being well aware of how difficult it is, the state is trying to help you and take some of the load off. And we are going to continue this support,” he maintained.

The President drew the attention of the audience to the fact that women in Kazakhstan succeed in combining being a mother and a professional.

“This is a unique feature of our women and a strong bulwark of our society, which has become a recognizable brand of Kazakhstan exactly as our model of interethnic and interreligious harmony. And it was like that from time eternal. Our women have always cherished family relationship. Let me appeal to the women present here today and all women of Kazakhstan. You, without exaggeration, are a national treasure,” he said.

The President noted that women in virtue of their nature always look for a solid basis, and after finding it, do not stop their quest for excellence. He stressed that this approach fully reflects Kazakhstan’s way of development, which is dynamic and perfectly balanced at the same time.

Nursultan Nazarbayev stressed that one of the priorities of our country is to give a good education to the next generation.

“Nothing can replace the strength of motherhood. In case each family in our country is based on maternal love, the whole country will be illuminated by the light of harmony and prosperity. All of us, regardless of their gender, religion or nationality, have a common dream. Our dream is a big strong family, having its home, capable of giving children a good education and confidence in their future. The contribution of women in this issue is invaluable, and I am thankful to all of you,” he said.

The President once again congratulated women on the upcoming holiday and wished them joy, harmony and prosperity.

While attending a concert hall, Nursultan Nazarbayev got acquainted with a photo exhibition titled “Creative Astana” and talked to participants of the project.

Well-known singers and creative teams of Kazakhstan performed during the concert, which combined various genres of music. Some of the performances were accompanied with choreography.
