President names three pillars of Kazakhstan’s statehood

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the profound significance of Kazakhstan's state symbols, calling them the "three pillars" of the nation's statehood during a ceremony marking the raising of the State Flag in Astana. He stated that these symbols are a vivid embodiment of the people's values and national identity.

“

I congratulate you on the Day of State Symbols! This is a holiday of special significance for every citizen of our sacred Motherland. On this day, we raise our banner high. In doing so, we demonstrate to the whole world that we are a proud sovereign country.

"Our sacred symbols are a vivid embodiment of the values of our people. Each of them reflects our national identity," Tokayev declared. He highlighted the coat of arms as a representation of Kazakhstan's statehood, the anthem as the "majestic voice of our freedom," and the sky-blue banner as the embodiment of Independence. The President noted that history shows the people uniting under a single banner, preserving unity and harmony, and asserted that Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its cohesion and move forward confidently.

The ceremony, which celebrated the Day of State Symbols, underscored the importance of national unity. Tokayev remarked that raising the flag high demonstrates to the world Kazakhstan's status as a proud, sovereign country. The nation's state symbols – the flag, coat of arms, and anthem – were officially adopted on June 4, 1992, and continue to serve as powerful emblems of the country's past, present, and future aspirations.

The anthem is the majestic voice of our freedom. The sky-blue banner is the embodiment of our Independence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that these symbols, which we honor and revere, are a kind of three pillars representing our statehood.
