New Kazakhstan

New Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Жаңа Қазақстан, romanized: Jaña Qazaqstan; Russian: Новый Казахстан, romanized: Novyi Kazakhstan) is a concept developed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev that represents a forward-looking national aspiration for progress, renewal, and modernization in various aspects of Kazakhstan's governance and society. It was first proposed in 2022 following the January events as a response to the societal challenges and demands for change during that period.^[1]

With the concept of New Kazakhstan, the government aims to foster a more effective state administration, strengthen civil society institutions, and promote a harmonious balance between political and economic reforms. The vision envisions a sovereign nation with a clear direction towards embracing modernization, enhancing international cooperation, and positioning Kazakhstan as a prominent player on the global stage.^[2]
