Rewritten Article:
Let's dive into the political happenings in Astana! Yerlan Koshanov, the chairman of Kazakhstan's lower house, the Mazhilis, shared insights on his nation's progress in political and economic reforms, under the leadership of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, at the 150th anniversary Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on April 7.
Koshanov shone the spotlight on Kazakhstan's strides toward promoting inclusion, accessible healthcare, quality education, and fair distribution of national wealth. Keep in mind that these reforms echo the recent legislative moves taking place in the country, as they are reflected in the laws approved by Parliament.
Speaking of global leadership, Koshanov brought attention to Kazakhstan's initiative to form a UN Regional Center for Sustainable Development Goals, geared towards Central Asian nations and Afghanistan, to be headquartered in Almaty. This idea garnered unanimous support from the parliamentarians of UN member states.
As a firm believer in the New Social Contract proposed by the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, Koshanov emphasized the critical role of parliaments worldwide in advancing the principles of social justice amidst current global struggles.
The gathering brought together parliamentary delegations from over 140 countries to explore strategies that foster social growth and justice. On the sidelines, Koshanov engaged in one-on-one meetings to delve into inter-parliamentary cooperation and legislative exchange.
Oh, and here's an interesting tidbit! Concurrent reports highlight expanding economic progress, with plans to construct three ferroalloy plants fit to establish Kazakhstan as the second-largest global producer of these indispensable industrial materials. Although this economic growth wasn't a focus point in Koshanov's IPU address, it's an essential part of Tokayev's wider agenda to modernize both domestically and internationally.
