In his speech, Tokayev emphasized that maslikhats occupy an important place in the process of implementing political and economic reforms. He noted that the country is undergoing comprehensive modernization of state structures, the economy, and the social sphere, and representative bodies of power play a key role in this process. The President also added that the principle "Strong regions - strong country" has already contributed to the growth of the authority of maslikhats, but to further develop their capabilities, many more tasks need to be addressed.
