         Special attention was paid to the role of the First President of Kazakhstan in building a peaceful foreign policy, effective use of global and regional dialogue platforms, and the formation of our country as a world leader in the fight for nuclear disarmament.
         - The closure of the Semipalatinsk test site and the renunciation of the nuclear arsenal demonstrated to the entire world community Kazakhstan's desire for a world free of nuclear threats. The historical decision of our Republic is unique and unprecedented in world history. Recognition of the merits of Kazakhstan and its First President was the recent award of Elbassy  the high international status of a "Champion for a World Free of Nuclear Tests" at a Special Session of the UN General Assembly. ... The personality of N.A.Nazarbayev has become the cornerstone of Kazakhstan's model of presidential power as an effective response to the challenges of the time and a tool for effective government. Thanks to the wisdom and vision of Elbassy, we have created a strong, independent, democratic state that can compete on an equal basis with other countries of the world", the lecturer stressed.

         At the end of the event, students shared their feedback.
– I want to thank the management of the Library of Elbassy and our University for organizing such an informative lecture on a very important topic. It is especially important that it was made on the eve of two state holidays in Kazakhstan associated with the name of our Elbassy.
