Kazakhstan’s foreign policy fundamentals have been updated in the draft of the new Constitution. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Court Bakyt Nurmukanov at the Constitutional Reform Commission’s regular meeting in Astana, Qazinform News Agency reports.

“The term 'republican referendum' has been changed to 'nationwide referendum' in the text of the Constitution. A provision has been formulated, according to which the people exercise power directly through a nationwide referendum and free elections, and also delegate the exercise of their power to state agencies,” Nurmukanov said.

Alongside, he said, constitutional provisions concerning the issues of the current law of Kazakhstan have been clarified. The procedure for the application of international treaties within the territory of the country will be determined by laws.
