BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 19. Kazakhstan
should develop a national standard for cleanliness, President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said while addressing participants in the
Taza Kazakhstan campaign in Astana today, the presidential press
service reports.


“Taza Kazakhstan is not just a nationwide initiative; it is a
conscious choice made by our people. Taza Kazakhstan can rightfully
be called a unique project that has contributed to progressive
changes in public consciousness and national identity,” Tokayev
said.


He noted that the campaign is contributing to the formation of
new qualities and values in society.


“But we cannot sit back and be satisfied with what has been
achieved. If we want to become a progressive country, we must move
only forward. We still have many important goals and objectives
ahead of us. We must take the Taza Kazakhstan campaign to a
qualitatively new level.I believe it is necessary to develop a
national standard for cleanliness. This is a requirement of the
times,” the president said.


He stressed that every citizen of Kazakhstan should live in
comfort and cleanliness both today and in the future.







“However, such a favorable environment does not arise by itself
- its formation directly depends on the worldview and behavior of
citizens. Only in this way will we be able to strengthen the
international reputation of our people and the country as a whole
and increase its investment attractiveness,” Tokayev said.


Tokayev said the goal of the Taza Kazakhstan project is to
improve the country, strengthen unity and solidarity, and unite the
people around a common goal.


He noted that large-scale campaigns are currently being held
across all regions of Kazakhstan. Since the beginning of the year,
more than 600 environmental events have been held across the
country. Seven million citizens have participated in these
activities, more than 130,000 hectares of land have been cleaned,
and 1.3 million trees have been planted.


“Good results have been achieved, and indeed, a great deal of
work is being carried out. All this is a manifestation of the pure
intentions, genuine involvement and, most importantly, hard work of
our compatriots for the benefit of the Motherland,” Tokayev
said.
