The Independence Day of Kazakhstan

The 16th of December is the Independence Day of Kazakhstan, when the dream of our ancestors came true and our creativity reached a new level. An independence day is considered as an essential holiday that tells the story of the nation and represents its most significant values. This year marks the 29th anniversary of our independence, which began with the Constitutional Law signed by the First President, Elbasy Nursultan Nazarbayev on the 16th of December in 1991.

The date for the Independence Day of Kazakhstan has not been chosen by the chance. If we look back at the history, the USSR was collapsed in 1991, and the countries of the Union became the independent states. Kazakhstan was among them as well. On the 16th of December in 1991, the Supreme Soviet of Kazakhstan had adopted the Law “On Independence and State Sovereignty”. It should be noted that Kazakhstan had been the last country in the USSR to enact the Law on Independence. This Law, along with the Declaration of Independence of Kazakhstan, enacted on the 25th of October in 1990, strengthened the Republic of Kazakhstan.

This year Kazakhstan celebrates the thirty-first year of independence. Our country is multinational, and this is another advantage, because we are all a single whole, and we have our Motherland, friendship, respect, mutual assistance and a common culture.
