INTRODUCTION
Kazakhstan has entered a new period in its history.
This year, in my state-of-the-nation address, I proclaimed the start of the Third Modernization of Kazakhstan.
Thus, we launched two most important processes of modernization - the political reform and the modernization of economy.
The goal is to join the world’s 30 most developed countries.
Both modernization processes have crystal-clear goals along with the tasks, priorities and methods to achieve them. I am confident that these will all be achieved fully and in time.
However, they are not enough on their own.
I am sure that the large-scale reforms that we have started should be complemented with advanced modernization of our - nation’s identity. This won’t just complement political and economic modernization but provide its core.
It is worth mentioning that over the years of independence we have adopted and implemented a number of large programs.
