“In this regard, I would like to separately mention the nationwide campaign ‘Clean Kazakhstan’. This year, 335.6 million seedlings were planted across the country. Indeed, this unique project, which has received nationwide support, has had a tremendous impact on changing the lifestyle and worldview of our people. I attach special importance to this nationwide movement. Cleanliness is a very profound and important concept that implies not only the outward neatness of streets, homes and apartments, but also the purity of one’s inner thoughts,” the President said.
He also stressed that Kazakhstan’s boundless steppes should be transformed into a blooming green land, and that cleanliness must become an integral part of the national way of life.

Talented artists are widely promoting our national culture in all corners of the world. Our people have gained global recognition as a nation distinguished by high spiritual values and progressive thinking,” Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.
