He commented that, as a result of the wise policy of President Nursultan Nazarbayev, in a short time Nur-Sultan became a place of political, economic and cultural life not only in Kazakhstan, but throughout the Eurasian space.
How many strategic decisions were made and fundamental works were implemented in the city. Today's achievements are directly related to our first president. I believe that this is the right decision to call the city of Astana in the name of the leader of the nation, a citizen of Kazakhstan, who is respected by people.
We all know that today's capital of our state, the today’s achievements and the achievements of our nation is a great work of the leader of the nation, who spares no effort to be equal to the most powerful countries of the world.
