Vietnam is an important economic partner of Kazakhstan in Asia.

On the occasion of the Republic of Kazakhstan Day (October 25), Kazakhstan's Ambassador to Vietnam Kanat Tumysh emphasized that Vietnam is an important economic partner of Kazakhstan in Asia.

Kazakhstan's commitment to a united and prosperous future

On October 25, 1990, Kazakhstan declared its sovereignty and political autonomy, which was the starting point for achieving full independence of Kazakhstan later. Along with October 25, Kazakhstan also has December 16 – Independence Day.

Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Vietnam Kanat Tumysh said that Kazakhstan has a civilizational tradition that spans millennia, including the periods of the Hun Empire, the Turkic Empire, the Golden Horde Empire and the Kazakh Khanate, which were founded on their sacred land by the ancestors of the Kazakh people. In particular, archaeologists believe that people first domesticated horses in the vast steppes of Kazakhstan. In addition, the territory of Kazakhstan was an important part of the Eurasian Steppe Trade Route, the precursor to the terrestrial Silk Road.

For the people of Kazakhstan, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Vietnam Kanat Tumysh emphasized: Republic Day (October 25) is not only a nostalgia for the past but also an embodiment of Kazakhstan’s commitment to a united and prosperous future. This day is a day to honor the resilience and vision of the Kazakh people, a vision that has transformed Kazakhstan from a former Soviet republic into a beacon of progress and diplomacy on the international stage.

The promise of the future, illuminated by the achievements of today, ensures that Republic Day is not only a day to celebrate sovereignty, but also a day to celebrate endless possibilities. “Our country proposes to free the planet from the scourge of violent conflicts, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear and biological weapons, and to rebuild global trust through dialogue,” Ambassador Kanat Tumysh affirmed.

According to the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Vietnam, the progress that Kazakhstan has made since declaring its sovereignty is not only a testament to the past but also a solid foundation for the future. This foundation is a fertile ground from which new innovations, deeper diplomatic relations and further progress in all areas – social, political and economic – will surely arise. The momentum from these achievements will propel Kazakhstan forward in the coming decades, cementing its position as a global beacon of growth and development.
