AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Kurultai Launch in Astana: Kazakhstan’s first convocation of the new unicameral Kurultai officially began work on Aug. 28, with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev calling it a new stage for renewing the political system and urging deputies to deliver real results. Public Support for Reforms: Tokayev said citizens backed the changes, citing a turnout of more than 74% and stressing “Different views – one nation,” with international observers monitoring the vote. Government Transition: The Cabinet will keep performing its duties until a new government is approved, as 145 Kurultai deputies were registered and mandates allocated among parties. Infrastructure Push: Kazakhstan reported repairing 8,470 km of roads since 2024 (about 85% of the 2028 target), aiming to improve safety and connectivity. Child Safety Online: Tokayev backed a proposed ban on social media accounts for under-16s, with legislation to be considered by the Kurultai. Disaster Watch (Regional Impact): Nepal’s Rasuwa flood left 2,381 people unaccounted for, including 644 foreign nationals, while Nepal-China flash floods also continue to raise missing-person figures. Tech & AI Debate: Experts at Nazarbayev University warned that while AI can automate tasks, human verification and expertise remain essential.
