Once the Kazakh land became a home for representatives of different nationalities and remains so to this day.  Many Kazakh families keep and pass on to their descendants the memory of the difficult times of forced resettlement and repression.  The older generation of immigrants recalls with gratitude the warmth and deep compassion with which the fertile Kazakh land, which has become their home, received them.

The corresponding decree on the holiday was signed on January 14, 2016 at the XXII session of the ANC, where the First President of our country – Elbasy Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev proposed annually celebrating March 1 as the Day of gratitude of all ethnic groups to each other and to the Kazakh people, who provided assistance in difficult times, showing mercy and accepting them as family.

The main goal of the holiday is to strengthen the unity of the people of Kazakhstan, to promote social harmony, charity, social solidarity and mutual support.

May the Day of Gratitude bring Kazakhstanis closer together!  We will be grateful to each other for good deeds and deeds!
