Kassym-jomart Tokayev

On March 19, 2019, the sensational statement of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev about his own resignation became the news of the day in the global information space. The leader of the nation held the post for almost 30 years and has now transferred powers to Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, who headed the Senate of the Parliament of Kazakhstan for the last 5 years. On March 20, at a joint meeting of the chambers of parliament, the man officially took office as the interim president of the Republic.

The future politician was born on May 17, 1953 in Alma-Ata, the capital at that time of the Kazakh SSR. Kassym-Zhomart's father was a front-line soldier, awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the II degree and two medals “For Courage”. After the war, Kemel Tokayev became a journalist and later a well-known writer working in the detective genre. The diplomat inherited the ability to foreign languages ​​from his mother Turar, a linguist-internationalist, teacher of the pedagogical institute. The family of Kazakh nationality belongs to the elder zhuz, the zhalayyr clan.

After graduating from high school number 25 in 1970, in which Vladimir Zhirinovsky studied at one time, Tokayev moved to Moscow. There, the guy enters the MGIMO of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs - the forge of Soviet diplomatic personnel. While still a 5th year student, a promising young man begins a political biography.

He goes to China as part of the Soviet Union's embassy, ​​where he does his internship for six months and prepares to write a diploma. Subsequently, Kassym-Jomart will graduate from the Beijing Linguistic Institute at the Celestial Empire, which will allow him to fluently speak Chinese along with Russian, English and French. In 1975, the young man graduated from MGIMO and began to build a career as a diplomat. In 1992, Tokayev received his third higher education at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

After graduating from the institute, the man became the duty assistant of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, having been assigned to Singapore. The graduate worked there until 1979, continuing his career in China, where he worked in the 1980s, eventually becoming the first secretary of the USSR embassy in the PRC.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Tokayev moved to the newly independent Kazakhstan and received there a respectable post of deputy foreign minister, which he held from 1993 to 1994. Since 1994, the politician headed the ministry and, with a short break, remained in office until 2007. The pause was associated with another responsible appointment: in 1999-2001, Kassym-Zhomart Kemelevich was the head of the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Since 2007, Tokayev has been working for 4 years as the chairman of the Senate of the Parliament of Kazakhstan.

In 2011, the man was elected UN Deputy Secretary General and UN Director General in Geneva. Tokayev ranked second in importance in the international structure, becoming the first Asian to hold such an honorary post. The diplomat enthusiastically accepted the new appointment, noting that he is aware of a great responsibility. The responsibilities of world disarmament fell on the shoulders of Kassym-Zhomart Kemelevich.

The man held his residence in Geneva for just over 2 years, paying attention to peacekeeping issues, condemning extremism and nationalism in any form. Leaving his post, the ex-deputy asked to pay attention to the problem of Afghan drug trafficking and the total shortage of drinking water in the countries of Central Asia. Articles and speeches delivered by Tokayev from the UN platform were published in a separate book published in 2014 entitled Reflections in the United Nations.

Having inherited his writing talent from his father, Kassym-Zhomart became the author of a dozen books. From the pen of Tokayev came "Overcoming", "Light and Shadow" - memoir political novels about the history of Kazakhstan at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

In 2013, the man returned to Kazakhstan as chairman of the Senate, where he continued peacemaking initiatives, advocated the romanization of the Kazakh alphabet, insisted on toughening the fight against drug trafficking, proposing to equate it with terrorism.

Tokayev is not only a politician, diplomat and writer, but also a scientist. In 1998, the man became a candidate of historical sciences, having defended a thesis on the foreign policy of Kazakhstan. Continuing the topic started, the author reached his doctoral dissertation, receiving his doctorate in political sciences in 2001.

A restrained, intelligent politician does not like to talk about his personal life, protecting his private space. Tokayev's wife's name is Nadezhda Davydovna, the couple have a son Timur, who was born in 1984. An Internet source in an article about the children of Kazakhstani diplomats indicates that Timur Tokayev is engaged in the oil business, being the co-founder of Abi Petroleum Capital. In addition, the son of the Acting President of the Republic of Kazakhstan managed to defend his thesis in Moscow, becoming in 2009 a candidate of political sciences.

Kassym-Zhomart Kemelevich leads a healthy lifestyle and goes in for sports. His passion since his youth is ping-pong. Tokayev was the head of the Kazakhstan Table Tennis Federation for 13 years. The politician does not like noisy feasts, and prefers to spend his free time in leisurely walks and reading books. Among the favorite authors is the poet Irina Ratushinskaya.

The latest news of political life and a photo of the diplomat can be tracked on Twitter, where posts are published in Kazakh, Russian and English.

On March 20, 2019, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took over the leadership of the Republic of Kazakhstan and took the oath to the people of the country. According to preliminary data, the man will serve as interim president until the presidential elections, which are scheduled for April 2020. It is possible that the date of the upcoming elections will be postponed.

Nursultan Nazarbayev, who transferred powers to the former prime minister, preferred the post of chairman of the Security Council, which presupposes the ex-president's direct participation in making the most important political decisions. However, Tokayev is now officially becoming the first person in the state. He belongs to the pro-presidential political party Nur Otan.

Kassym-Zhomart Kemelevich is famous for his reputation as a correct and stable person with diplomatic and human tact.
