The prosperity of the country depends not only on the work of the Government or the government as a whole. The contribution of every citizen to the development of the state is important. This is the simple truth of life.
Therefore, journalists, all citizens, and the President have common goals and objectives. We need to work honestly for the sake of strengthening our independence and the prosperity of the country. It is our duty! - Tokayev said.
