Message was delivered by Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Kazakhstani people in 2025

President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev presented his annual Message at the joint session of Parliament chambers.

In his message, President continued to emphasize that the reforms are aimed at creating the Fair Kazakhstan, building an open, honest dialogue between the government and citizens in the spirit of “the hearing state.”

Digitalization and efforts to transform Kazakhstan into a totally digital state, Digital Kazakhstan, are among the main priorities on this path. The course of building Digital Kazakhstan should determine the key directions of Kazakhstan's development, including artificial intelligence, digitalization, platform economy, the use of big data and other aspects. An important part of the given process is the preparation of human capital, and here a special role is given to education.

To train specialists with skills in working with artificial intelligence, the state has launched the Al-Sana program, designed to involve up to 100,000 students in high-tech projects. Teachers are evolving skills in artificial intelligence technology as well.

"To become part of the new technological order, it will be necessary to rebuild the entire system of public administration, with the multiple increase in its transparency, efficiency, and human-centricity. Therefore, I consider it necessary to create Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development on the basis of the current relevant ministry," President said.

Mining and metallurgical complex is one of the backbone complexes of our country. President called the development of this cluster and geological exploration a key task. It is necessary to create modern maps of our bowels and improve the effectiveness of satellite monitoring of agricultural lands due to artificial intelligence. It is also necessary to develop the transport and logistics sector: Kazakhstan should not only become a logical hub, but also win the global competition for transit.

"All routes should work as a single system, bringing tangible income and new investments in infrastructure to our country, as well as creating high-quality jobs. The given direction is of particular importance for Kazakhstan as a large transit territory," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.

Constructing the nuclear power plants in Kazakhstan remains an important area. The planned development of production and the launch of large machine-building and metallurgical enterprises will require a lot of energy, therefore, after constructing the first nuclear power plant project, the construction of a second and even a third nuclear power plant will be planned. Manufacturing the highly processed products and innovative start-ups are among the priorities.

Another significant area is monitoring of water resources as our country’s strategic resource. Formation of National Water Balance is the most important tool for long-term planning of water policy for our country.

The crucial task is to improve the housing and economic infrastructure. At the same time, to improve the quality of construction, it is important to use building information modeling using artificial intelligence technologies (Building Information Modeling, BIM).

Traditionally, President's Address coincides with the beginning of the political season. In his speech, he sets the course for reforms and the whole country.

"My major mission is to ensure stable socio-economic growth and security of Kazakhstan in this turbulent, dangerous time. Our younger generation should live in happiness and well-being," Tokayev said in his speech, stressing that patriotism is perceived today as creativity and innovation, and youth support is a key factor in the successful future for Kazakhstan.

Satbayev University sees the Message as a guideline for scientific work, updating the degree programs and expanding the international cooperation. We are confident that it is through the training of engineering personnel and the introduction of advanced technologies that our country will be able to build New Kazakhstan and take its rightful place in the global economy.
