We are turning over a new leaf in our life and in the life of the country - President Nursultan Nazarbayev

Dear fellow-nationals!

We are a few minutes away from the New Year. At this exciting moment between the past and the future, we usually tally up results and build plans. 2013 has been a special year to our country. We started implementing the "Kazakhstan-2050" Strategy. A long way starts with the first step, and this step has been successful. I am grateful to all the people, who as a single family are striving to build a strong and thriving Kazakhstan. At this very moment, we are telling best wishes to the loved ones, to our colleagues supporting us in the work, our athletes, scientists, artists, whose victories and achievements have inspired us. The positive energy of our thoughts and wishes makes us a single whole.

Dear friends! This New Year night we are turning over a new leaf in our life and in the life of the country. All its 365 leaves are still blank. What will be written on them depends on each of us, on our perseverance and dedication. I believe that a year later we will have much to be proud of. Together, we will write another bright page in the history of Independent Kazakhstan! This very moment, everyone is anxiously looking into the future and making wishes of most important things to himself. I am sure they will come true! I wish all of you happiness, good health, love and understanding!

Happy New Year, dear Kazakhstanis!
