President Qasym-Jomart Toqayev held a ceremony to recognize law enforcement officers who achieved success at the international UAE SWAT Challenge tournament in Dubai.
Kazakhstan was represented by twelve teams in the special forces competition.
Our fighters represented Kazakhstan with honor on the international stage, demonstrating to the whole world the strength of our warriors. We are proud of you, Toqayev stated.
The President spoke about the special forces' achievement and the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War being commemorated this year.
This is a tribute to all Kazakhstanis who fought at the front and worked in the rear. Our duty is to preserve the feats of our ancestors in the memory of generations. And your efforts are aimed at preserving peaceful life in Kazakhstan, he emphasized.
Highlighting the special services' role in national security, Toqayev added:
Last year, the KNB conducted more than 20 special operations to prevent crimes. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is constantly fighting drugs and other crimes. We have a clear goal - to build a strong and prosperous Kazakhstan.
The Sunqar team had previously led several stages of the competition, winning first place in the first and third rounds.
Kazakhstan's Ministry of Internal Affairs team secured silver, finishing behind China's after five days of competition.
