In the Telegram channel Akordy, a message from Kassym-Jomart Tokayev congratulating the Orthodox citizens of the country on Christmas has been published. The president emphasizes that this holiday "represents the embodiment of goodness and hope," and "unites believers in the name of serving high ideals of humanism."

"On Christmas, human hearts are filled with special joy, Orthodox people strive to surround their loved ones with care and attention, showing mercy and compassion to those in need.

Orthodoxy makes a significant contribution to strengthening the unity and solidarity of our people, promoting the values of patriotism, creation, and responsibility that are the foundation of our national identity.

I am convinced that harmony and mutual understanding in society will remain a reliable foundation for the sustainable progress of Kazakhstan. I wish all Orthodox citizens of our country health, happiness, and success in their noble endeavors!" - stated in Tokayev's congratulatory message.
