The Independence Day of Kazakhstan can rightfully be called one of the most significant holidays not only for the state, but also for the whole people. In 1990, the republic restored its right to independence. Since then, over the course of 25 years, this event in the history of the formation of independent modern Kazakhstan has been celebrated on December 16.
Transition to independence and independence
October 25, 1990 is also considered a special date marking the end of the old page of the existence of the state and the beginning of a new stage in the formation of the republic. Then the first legislative act was proclaimed - the fundamental document in the formation of the country. We are talking about the Declaration of Independence, which affirms the principles of the activities of the bodies of the three branches of government, human and civil rights and freedoms, democracy and the rule of law. The provisions of this ideological legal document became the fundamental beginning in the process of drafting the Constitution.
The Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a holiday that from year to year confirms the completion of significant state transformations. The past years of national independence have become a period of hard work for Kazakhstan to recreate a completely new democratic system of state institutions, optimize the political regime and legal relations.
Reforms in Kazakhstan for the period of independence
Since independence, the country has undergone a lot of global changes: the formation of a 2-chamber legislative body, the formation and modernization of the judicial branch of government, the creation of its own Armed Forces and border troops, in the end, the definition of the capital of the Republic of Astana.
Independence Day of Kazakhstan helps not to forget about radical reforms of economic sectors, thanks to which the current country has a developing market economy. Having become a leader among the countries of the post-Soviet space in attracting foreign investors, Kazakhstan has gained the opportunity to integrate into the global economic system.
Summing up the annual achievements on the Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is impossible not to mention the established political life of the country. More than 15 parties and many public organizations continue to successfully ensure stability in its political arena.
The renunciation of the Republic of Kazakhstan of nuclear weapons
Today's republic is constantly confronted with the problems of our time, concerning all aspects of the existence and functioning of Kazakhstani civil society. Celebrating Kazakhstan Independence Day on December 16, it is worth noting such a memorable event as the state’s refusal of a nuclear program. Soon after independence, Kazakhstan voluntarily declared itself a country on whose territory no nuclear weapons would be used.
The international cooperation
Attention also deserves the foreign international policy of the state. The achievements of Kazakhstan’s diplomatic missions are obvious: more than 120 powers have established partnership relations with the republic aimed at providing guarantees of the sovereignty and independence of the state.
Confirmation of this is the country's full membership in the UN, active cooperation with influential world organizations, including the European Union, International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, IAEA, UNESCO and the Red Cross.
