Former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has lost another lifetime privilege. This is reported by www.toutiao.com .

President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev made changes to The concept of the country's foreign policy. In accordance with his decree of August 14, 2026, the paragraph granting Nursultan Nazarbayev the lifelong right to address citizens and government agencies on foreign policy issues was deleted from the document.

This paragraph was previously based on the constitutional law "On the first President of the Republic of Kazakhstan — Elbasy". ("Leader of the Nation" is a title that Nazarbayev lost by Tokayev's decree in 2022).

In the new version of the Concept, the text is brought into line with the provisions of the new Constitution. In particular, the term "citizen" was replaced by "citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan". The terms "Independence" and "Sovereignty" are now capitalized. In addition, the word "Parliament" was replaced by "Kurultai".
