“As you know, Yelbasy has made a historic decision, and Kazakhstan entered a new phase of its development.

The development of tourism, where Mangistau has a number of serious advantages, also opens up great prospects for the country”, the Head of State stated.

During the meeting, the President of Kazakhstan instructed the Government, Ministries, Governor’s and Mayor’s Offices, development institutes to take concrete and effective measures aimed at ensuring the growth of the national economy and the welfare of Kazakhstanis, countering corruption, improving the personnel selection system and building effective communications with society.
