Address by Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the occasion of the entry into force of the New Constitution of Kazakhstan

July 1, 2026

Dear compatriots

, I sincerely congratulate you on a truly epoch–making event - the entry into force of the New Constitution of our country!

Today marks the beginning of a new era in the history of sovereign Kazakhstan. We are embarking on a major path of progressive progress, political and economic reforms, and large-scale modernization.

This day marks a fundamental restructuring of the political system, the transformation of key institutions of the state and civil society.

At the national referendum on March 15, the people of Kazakhstan made a fateful choice that determined the horizons of the state's development for many decades to come. This historic decision will forever remain in the annals of the country as a vivid example of genuine patriotism and high civic responsibility of millions of our compatriots.

It is deeply symbolic that Constitution Day is now inextricably linked with the beginning of the decade of Nauryznam. The landmark date harmoniously combines the centuries–old traditions of the spring renaissance with the fundamental principles of the New Basic Law - the desire for civic solidarity, advanced knowledge and conscientious work for the benefit of the Motherland.

I am convinced that relying on the unshakable legal foundation of a truly national Constitution, we will surely achieve all our goals and establish in society the creative values of Law and Order, Diligence and Progress, Purity and Love of Nature.

Having united into an indestructible monolith of national unity, we will certainly conquer the peaks of world civilization and build a Just Kazakhstan – a state of equal opportunities and comprehensive development of all citizens without exception!

I express my confidence in the ultimate success of the outlined plans leading to the prosperity of our Fatherland.

Long live the Republic of Kazakhstan!

Long live our people!
