Kazakhstan updates military conscription and tourism laws in new reforms

Kazakhstan's president has signed two key documents addressing military service and legislative updates. One decree outlines conscription plans for 2026, while another law introduces amendments to support tourism and children's sports. Both measures reflect ongoing policy adjustments in the country.

The first document, a presidential decree, sets out the schedule for military conscription in 2026. It confirms the discharge of current conscripts who have completed their mandatory service. New recruits will be called up in two phases: March to June and September to December.

Separately, the president approved a law titled *On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan Regarding Support for the Tourism Industry and Children's Sports*. While details of its provisions remain unclear, the legislation signals a focus on strengthening these sectors.

The new conscription decree provides a clear timeline for military service in 2026. Meanwhile, the amended law highlights the government's intent to boost tourism and youth sports. Officials have not yet released further specifics on the legislative changes.
