President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev said that the blue passport of the Republic of Kazakhstan should be a symbol of our national identity, the national newspaper "Adyrna" reported.
"Unity, solidarity, tolerance, mutual respect, compassion and always being ready to help each other are at the heart of our tradition and culture. It is not easy to transfer these unique values that form our national identity to artificial ideological structures. But, in my opinion, there is no need for this. .
I am sure that the blue passport of the Republic of Kazakhstan should be a simple but main indicator of our national identity. This document is a symbol of advanced principles that have become the basis of our statehood. The passport of a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan represents fundamental values. Thanks to that, our country became known to the whole world as a bright example of inter-ethnic and inter-religious tolerance. Kazakhstan's passport is a symbol of justice and the nation's aspiration to the future," said the President.
According to him, the blue passport is recognized and respected all over the world.
"There are no restrictions on Kazakhstani passport abroad, including the issuance of visas of foreign countries. This is a direct result of the balanced and responsible foreign policy and internal policy of our country aimed at creating a just Kazakhstan," said the President.
