On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I send my warmest wishes to the people of Kazakhstan as they celebrate Republic Day on October 25.
As the people of Kazakhstan on this day commemorate their declaration of sovereignty, we reaffirm the United States' commitment to Kazakhstan's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. We commend Kazakhstan's steadfast leadership since independence in advancing global dialogue and efforts toward international peace and security. We note our continuing support for President Tokayev's reform agenda and recall our strong support for its full implementation to build public confidence in government, increase government accountability, and protect human rights.
On this day, we recognize that shared challenges are best solved jointly, and, in the spirit of our two countries' enduring friendship, we look forward to partnering together on global challenges to advance our shared priorities of peace, prosperity, and stability for the benefit of both our countries' peoples.
