"The task of the Presidential Administration is to form a comprehensive and systematic approach to this work. I entrust the implementation of this task to Vice President Yerlan Tynymbayuly Karin. He will report directly to the president on the progress of the work once every two weeks," Tokayev said.

It is worth noting that Yerlan Koshanov had previously been appointed Chairman of the National Kurultai. The Council has begun its work.
