"Kazakhstan declared its dream to the world by means of this article. I would like to stress three important aspects. The first one is confirmation of the course towards achievement of the goals set earlier in 'Kazakhstan-2050' Strategy, Nurly Zhol new economic policy and National Plan "100 Specific Steps on Implementation of Five Institutional Reforms" and other strategic documents. The second aspect is that the article provides a clear schedule and certain measures on fulfillment of the objectives in the sphere of civil service, economic reforms and improvement of the people's lives. The third important component is that the unity of people has been the key factor of Kazakhstan's power, and the People's Assembly of Kazakhstan significantly contributes to ensuring this unity," Mr. Xiaoxing says.
