The most valuable award for a man of art is the recognition of the people
"Culture and art are important areas in the life of the country. Art is the soul of a nation, and culture is its spiritual face. Together, they form the core of our civilization. Our common duty is to preserve and multiply them. As Abish Kekilbayuly said, "The history of culture is the history of mankind," the Head of State noted at the award ceremony for cultural and art workers in Akorda.

The President of the country stressed that the development of culture and art is a priority for the state, "Last year the Concept of Cultural Policy until 2029 was adopted. Today, the state pays great attention to the comprehensive development of the infrastructure of this important industry. The equipment of cultural and art institutions is gradually improving."

It was also announced that three of the country's leading museums would be given national status. Over the past three years, over 700 new facilities have been renovated and 168 new ones built across the country. The equipment of cultural and art institutions is gradually improving. For the first time in three decades, budgetary funds have been allocated for the purchase of musical instruments for specialized educational institutions and state concert organizations.

The Head of State also said that a full-scale reconstruction of the Mukhtar Auezov Kazakh National Drama Theater will begin in the near future. The work will be completed in 2026 – by the centenary of the landmark institution. /This year, 7 leading collectives of the country, which occupy a special place in the field of culture, celebrate their anniversary/.

It is also planned to give the Kazakh National University of Arts in Astana the name of singer Kulyash Bayseitova. "This is a tribute to an outstanding singer and talented artists who have left their mark on history. Ultimately, this should be understood as the restoration of historical justice. The path of the older generation in art is worthily continued by our modern youth. It is very important to maintain this continuity," Kassym–Jomart Tokayev stressed, "In general, painstaking work is being carried out in the country to preserve and enhance the historical and cultural heritage. Recently, for the first time in many years, the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage has been expanded. The issue of including our national traditions "salburyn" and "betashar" in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List is being worked out.
