THE STRATEGY OF THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN – ELBASSY N. NAZARBAYEV - A DRIVER OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The international scientific and practical conference with such a title was held on 16 November in Aktobe regional state University.

– Only 27 years have passed since the Republic of Kazakhstan gained the status of an independent state. From a historical point of view, this is not such a long period. But the pace of changes in the economic, political and social spheres of the country has increased so much that the scale of reforms can not help to amaze those who witnessed the first steps of the young Kazakh state in the early 1990s. The main postulate of the policy pursued by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan has always been the preservation of peace and harmony in the country. I think you all agree that one international scientific and practical conference can not fully reveal the role of the personality of the First President of Kazakhstan, the founder of the new state Nursultan Nazarbayev in strengthening the sovereignty and statehood of Kazakhstan, - said First Deputy Director of the Elbassy Library, doctor of political Sciences, Professor Amerkhan Rakhimzhanov.

He noted in his report that it was the strategic vision and conceptual management decisions of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan on key issues of the country's development that laid the foundation and determined the vector of Kazakhstan's path, and in expert circles the Kazakh development model is called the Nazarbayev Model.

– Our Kazakhstan experience should be considered on a par with the well-known successful modernization projects of our time. The management "according to Nazarbayev" has an emphasis on program and strategic methods, from the idea to actions and results. The model has a detailed vision of the basic characteristics of the future of Kazakhstan and ways of its long-term development, taking into account the changing external and internal contexts. The Model of Nazarbayev is built on the pragmatic risk management based on objective assessment of opportunities of the state and represents the full administrative cycle that allowed Kazakhstan to avoid many traps on the way to sovereignty and to achieve sustainable development, – he emphasized.

Mayor of Aktobe region, doctor of economic Sciences, Professor Berdibek Saparbayev addressed the participants of the conference with a welcoming speech.

– From the first days of Independence, the President set a clear goal - Kazakhstan should become a prosperous state. It was not an easy task. There were many difficulties and obstacles that our people overcame thanks to their unity and cohesion. Today, our country is on the path of sustainable development. The success that Kazakhstan has achieved over the past quarter century are directly related to the name of the First President – Nursultan Nazarbayev. "Grow and prosper the land of plenty - Aktobe" – once wished Elbassy. And today our region is actively developing thanks to united work of Aktobe residents. The President always says that if there is no agreement but only the separation, there can be neither national values ​​nor common goals. Therefore, the current scientific conference is so important for the Aktobe public. Its purpose is strengthening of statehood, unity of the people, education of the younger generation, – he said in his speech.
