HITTING THE MARK: Yerlan's Rousing Speech at IPU Assembly
In the heart of Uzbekistan, Astana's man, Yerlan Koshanov, took the stage as the chairman of the Mazhilis, the lower house of the Kazakh Parliament, to address the 150th anniversary Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. With the spirit of reform in the air, Yerlan shared his insights on Kazakhstan's political and economic transformation under President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
Picture this - Yerlan Koshanov, the picture of resolve, delivering his speech at the Tashkent gathering. The Mazhilis press service chronicled the event, peeling back the veil on Yerlan's mission.
Straight off the bat, Yerlan emphasized Kazakhstan's initiatives to etch inclusion, accessibility of healthcare, education, and an equitable distribution of the nation's wealth into the nation's fabric. These moves found their way into the laws the Parliament enacted, fostering a more unified and prosperous Kazakhstan[1][2].
Flaunting the nation's ambition, Yerlan announced the proposal to erect a UN Regional Center for Sustainable Development Goals in Almaty, aiming to better serve Central Asian countries and Afghanistan. The brilliant idea garnered unanimous support from UN member parliaments[1].
Amid escalating global pressures, Yerlan underscored the importance of the New Social Contract put forth by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. He underscored the critical role legislative bodies like his own play in ushering in this new era of fair governance[1].
More than a thousand parliamentary delegations from over 140 countries gathered to discuss the role of legislative bodies in sparking social development and justice. On the sidelines, Koshanov engaged in bilateral meetings, paving the way for inter-parliamentary cooperation and legislative exchange[1]. All in all, charting a new course for Kazakhstan and building stronger global bonds.
