'Made in Kazakhstan' label should be epitome of quality: Nazarbayev
ASTANA. December 25. KAZINFORM Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev congratulated laureates of the presidential prize Altyn Sapa during a Tuesday solemn ceremony at the Palace of Independence in Astana.

"Over the last years our country has entered the path of industrial and innovative development. This is an indispensable requirement for our future growth and prosperity.
A whole spectrum of large-scale projects has been implemented within the State Program of the Forced Industrial and Innovative Development. If Kazakhstani products don't meet the needs of the age, we will lag behind other countries.
'Made in Kazakhstan' label should become the epitome of genuine quality. Our sovereignty in the new epoch depends, in the first place, on economy. The economy, in its turn, rests upon innovations and high technologies. That is why this program is so crucial," the Kazakh President noted.
