Tengrinews.kz - President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev shared what surprises foreign guests most about Kazakhstan during the 34th session of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan.

Tokayev noted that on April 20, Kazakhstanis celebrated Easter in an atmosphere of unity and friendship. The Head of State once again extended his congratulations to all Christians in the country on the occasion.

“Foreign guests are often surprised by how harmoniously completely different customs and traditions coexist in our country. This is especially striking to them against the backdrop of the decline or even failure of multiculturalism and multiethnic policies elsewhere, as well as the West’s retreat from globalism in favor of isolationism. Our real-life experience demonstrates a unique worldview that is open to other cultures,” said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

According to the President, special attention in Kazakhstan should be given to genuinely popular holidays, which are deeply rooted in the national mentality and way of life.

“Nauryz, Maslenitsa, Sabantuy, and other folk holidays are not just festive gatherings – they are a vivid reflection of the spirit, daily life, and history of our people. These events intertwine the traditions, languages, and customs of the many ethnic groups of Kazakhstan, giving rise to genuine unity in diversity,” he added.

The latest session of the Assembly was held today in Astana. This year marks its 30th anniversary.

What is the APK?

The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is a consultative and advisory body that unites representatives of all ethnic groups living in the republic. The 33rd session, titled “Unity. Creation. Progress,” was held in Astana on April 24–25, 2024.

The APK is a key public platform that brings together people of different nationalities, cultures, and traditions around shared Kazakhstani values, said Deputy Chairman of the APK Dmitry Ostankovich earlier.

According to him, the assembly’s role goes beyond preserving cultural heritage — it fosters an atmosphere of mutual respect, civic responsibility, and unity.

This year’s session, he added, will be a starting point for rethinking the APK’s mission, summarizing over 30 years of its work and outlining new directions for development.

The President of Kazakhstan serves as the Chair of the APK.
