BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. Kazakhstan's
Kurultai should ensure the modernization of the country's
legislation in line with the requirements of the times, President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said at the opening of the first session of
the first convocation of the Kurultai, the presidential press
service reported.


"Ultimately, the Kurultai should ensure the modernization of the
country's legislation in accordance with the requirements of the
times. Taking into account national interests, current demands of
society and modern global trends, this work must be carried out
promptly and with high quality," Tokayev said.


According to him, Kazakhstan is currently establishing new
values in society, which he described as a complex and highly
responsible task.


"The formation of a new social ethic undoubtedly depends
directly on the behavior and culture of citizens who influence
people's minds and attitudes, as well as on public officials.
Inappropriate and tactless behavior in public places is
unacceptable," he said.


Tokayev called on deputies to contribute to promoting a new
social ethic alongside their legislative work.


"This is an important issue that directly affects national
interests," the president said.







He noted that society would assess the effectiveness of the
reforms being carried out in Kazakhstan primarily through the
activities of the deputies. According to Tokayev, the share of
women and young people in the Kurultai has increased significantly
compared with the previous Parliament.


"Large-scale transformations have contributed to the arrival of
a new generation in the public administration system - energetic,
patriotic and hardworking young people," he said.


Representatives of the younger generation are taking leading
positions among regional governors, in government organizations and
in business, Tokayev noted, calling this one of the key results of
the ongoing reforms.


"I can say directly that the ultimate goal of institutional
transformations is precisely the renewal of personnel across all
branches of government, that is, bringing innovative-minded and
constructive citizens into politics. In the modern era, no one
needs template solutions, outdated views, or primitive populism,"
he said.
