Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev Turns 71

Today, May 17, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of Kazakhstan celebrates his 71st birthday. However, true to his family traditions, the president does not mark the occasion with any special celebrations.

According to his former press secretary, Ruslan Zheldibay, President Tokayev prefers to treat his birthday as a regular day, reflecting a family custom where neither children’s nor parents’ birthdays were celebrated. This stance is a matter of principle for him.

As such, President Tokayev will spend May 17 as he would any other day. Notably, last year, he spent his birthday on an official visit to China.
