In conclusion, President Tokayev stressed that the tunes of dombra unite all ethnic groups in our country based on common values and strengthens spiritual unity.

Recall that Kazakhstan marks the National Dombra Day on the first Sunday of July every year. The holiday was instituted by the Decree of the First President of Kazakhstan-Elbasy, Nursultan Nazarbayev, in 2018.
