The President called Kazakhstan the direct successor of the Golden Horde

Tengrinews.kz — President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has called Kazakhstan the direct heir to the Golden Horde.

Speaking at the opening of a symposium titled "The Golden Horde as a Model of Steppe Civilization: History, Archaeology, Culture, and Identity," the Head of State noted that the new Constitution clearly enshrines the preservation of the Great Steppe's continuity.

"As is well known, Kazakhstan has been implementing large-scale political and economic reforms in recent years. This is undoubtedly a vital and responsible step for our country. At the same time, we clearly recognize the task before us: without a change in consciousness, society will not be renewed and the state will not develop. This is an axiom," Tokayev said.

In this regard, the President noted that the issue of preserving historical continuity is extremely relevant.

"It is obvious that without this, no progress is possible. If we do not respect the past, the path toward a bright future will be difficult. Therefore, as a progressive nation, we will only move forward," the Head of State said.

Tokayev added that the new Constitution, adopted in a national referendum, clearly states that preserving the continuity of the Great Steppe with its thousand-year history is our sacred duty.

"After all, in its statecraft, our country is the direct heir to the Golden Horde, which made 'Mangilik El' its core idea," he concluded.
