We are interested in developing a multifaceted partnership with Cyprus. Relations between our countries are steadily advancing, supported by regular contacts at the political level and between our diplomatic services. The mutual opening of embassies in Astana and Nicosia has created a solid institutional foundation for more systematic and practical cooperation," Tokayev said.

Kazakhstan welcomes Cypriot companies willing to invest and expand their presence in our country. Creating favourable conditions for businesses and investors remains one of the key priorities of Kazakhstan’s economic policy," he said.

We recognise the geopolitical importance of Central Asia and Kazakhstan’s role in the world. Kazakhstan is a strategic partner of the European Union. As a member state of the European Union, Cyprus can serve as a reliable gateway to the European market for Kazakh investors and companies. We offer a predictable business environment fully aligned with EU standards," the Cypriot president said.

By decree of the Head of State, Erzhan Nurlanovich Zhiyenbayev has been appointed Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan," the statement said.

As this mechanism is being introduced for the first time, the most transparent and secure implementation format has been chosen. At this stage, the amnesty applies exclusively to administrative fines. It does not cover repeat offences or cases under judicial consideration," the Mazhilis said.

To address this issue, I instruct the akims of Almaty and the Almaty Region, together with Samruk-Kazyna, to examine all aspects of implementing the project for the construction of Skytrain lines extending east and west from the city limits by August 1 of this year," Tokayev said at a meeting on the development of the city of Alatau.

As has been noted, the appearance of the city has not changed and everything remains largely the same. For the full development of the Almaty Region, Konaev urgently needs basic infrastructure, including educational, administrative, cultural and sports facilities. The regional authorities must pay close attention to this pressing issue," the head of state said.

The city administration plans to ensure the adoption of all key regulatory acts for Alatau within 12 months. The City Development Council should accelerate this process. The work must not be delayed. Any procrastination will result in direct investment losses and undermine business confidence," the Kazakh leader said.

At present, the goal is not to increase fines and so on. Our task is to work together with employers to develop the necessary measures to ensure that workers are as protected as possible and provided with appropriate safety equipment," the minister said.

Since last year, together with Parliament, we have strengthened these regulations, and mandatory requirements are now being introduced under which employers must ensure specific safety measures. For example, if an employee works in hazardous conditions, all relevant information about that worker will be reflected in a labor risk profile," Askarbek Yertayev said.

At the same time, the integration of industrial facility monitoring and control systems is continuing. Last year, 55 mines and mining sites were inspected. Modern safety systems have already been introduced at 45 facilities. To date, the video surveillance and positioning systems of 14 mines and mining sites have been connected to the ministry’s situational center, allowing real-time monitoring of conditions and оперативe response capabilities," Arinov added.
