October 25 is a national holiday in Kazakhstan – Republic Day. Its history dates back to 1990, when the Supreme Council of the Kazakh SSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty. This declaration asserted the republic’s sovereignty and established the political and legal foundations for Kazakhstan as an independent state.
Five years later, in 1995, Republic Day was declared a national holiday, and in 2001, it became a public holiday. In 2009, it was removed from the list of official holidays. In 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed reinstating Republic Day as a national holiday.
