My foreign colleagues marvel at Kazakhstan: Zhaniya Aubakirova
ASTANA. December 13. KAZINFORM "I sincerely congratulate all people of Kazakhstan on the Day of Independence, and wish them peace, composure and kindness. This is a special holiday for all of us. For me the past year was full of events, success and victories.

I did not expect I would receive this award, I found out about it when I was on tour in Beirut. For sure, this is amazing. Our country is amazing. I meet a lot of colleagues abroad and they marvel at Kazakhstan and its achievements over 20 years. That is why we are so proud of our country," honored artist of Kazakhstan Zhaniya Aubakirova commented on her state award at the Akorda presidential residence.
