One of successful outcomes of Kazakhstan's development over 20 years of independence - guarantee of stability

According to it, President Nursultan Nazarbayev's Address to the Nation becomes richer in content from year to year. The peculiarity of the 2011 Message is that it, firstly, fully confirms ambitious outcomes of the 20-year period of development from the day on which Kazakhstan gained independence.

Over the 20-year period of its development Kazakhstan reached significant success in all directions. The GDP level has increased by 12 times. It is amazing, because over the first years of gaining independence by the Central Asian states the international community doubted about their viability. But Kazakhstan's successful development not only demonstrated viability of the independent state, but made it the strongest one in Central Asia.

Another unique feature of the Message is that Kazakhstan's further development aimed at improvement of the people's living standarts and it is a basis of the country's development.

The Address embraces measures on the social policy of the country in detail. This postulate is very important. People are the first principle of the state. Improvement of the people's living standarts represents a target of the country's development and guarantee of successful growth. We paid attention that during the last four years a salary and a pension increased twofold. It is an enviable index. It is necessary to note that over the last years Kazakhstan's economy faced an impact of the financial crisis, but even under these circumstances the volume of investments raised in the sphere of education, healthcare, employment and public services. It is a very wise decision which received wide public support and promoted development and stability in the country.

The third feature is the foreign policy of the country. The document notes a number of important events with participation of Kazakhstan. All these show that the country's development ensured Kazakhstan's active participation in international affairs.

From gaining the independence Kazakhstan has been actively taking part in international and regional affairs. The growing international influence of the country is outlined. The country's success is closely connected with internal stability and economic development of the country. The country's development laid down fundamental principle for success of these events. Achievements of the 20-year development are reflected not only in economy.

Success of the 20-year development of Kazakhstan is related to many factors.

One of the successful results of the development is the guarantee of stability which allowed to implement work in all directions. Moreover, Kazakhstan's success is that the conducted policy meets the domestic realities and the country adheres to its own course.

China and Kazakhstan regard each other as friendly neighbors.
