“First of all, it is necessary to strengthen military intelligence, which should provide the country's leadership with timely and reliable information about external and internal threats,” the press service of the head of state said in a statement.
It is noted that the leadership of the Special Operations Forces, which will be created in accordance with the presidential decree, will be entrusted with the important task of conducting all organizational activities and preparing for special operations as soon as possible.
Earlier, Tokayev appointed Ruslan Zhaksylykov as head of the Republic's Ministry of Defense.
His predecessor was fired due to incompetence during the January events.
