ADDRESS OF THE XXVI CONGRESS OF THE FEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN TO WORKERS, TRADE UNION ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIAL PARTNERS

The Federation of trade unions of Kazakhstan, being an integral part of civil society, fully supports the policy update announced by the President of the country K. K. Tokaev, “Kazakhstan in the new reality: a time for action”.

The present address of the Head of state – new emphasis in government policy with a strong social orientation.

The main course of development of the country is marked by solving social problems, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, increasing the country’s production potential, and, as a result, improving the welfare and competitiveness of Kazakhstanis.

The document clearly sets priorities for important growth points and defines a specific plan of action during the period of instability of the world economy, which adequately responds to the most urgent needs of society.

At such a crucial moment for the country, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan announced seven main directions of the new economic course, among which the principle of fair distribution of benefits and responsibilities of citizens is a priority.

It is symbolic that the main message of the XXVI Congress “in unity to justice and development” is in tune with the key thesis of the President of the country about achieving universal justice.

We, the delegates of the Congress, were particularly encouraged by the initiative of the Head of state to consolidate social support measures in a single document – the Social code.

Trade unions, together with social partners, have a task to get out of a difficult socio-economic situation with the least losses and maintain the confidence of every citizen of Kazakhstan in the future.

We are deeply convinced that the implementation of the tasks announced by the President will improve the quality of life of the citizens of Kazakhstan.

Congress of the Federation of trade unions of the Republic of Kazakhstan supports the initiatives of the head of state and appeals to workers, trade unions, social partners actively involved in the implementation of the new agenda, highlighted by the President in the name of strengthening unity, justice and further development of each citizen and society as a whole.
