He also congratulated Kazakhstan on the adoption of the new Constitution, calling it a landmark event and a unique step toward democratization. Such changes, he noted, show that Kazakhstan is moving in the right direction. Pedro Vargas David also highlighted that Kazakh is a language not only of Asia but also of Europe, Eurasia as a whole. He explained that since part of Kazakhstan's territory lies in Europe, Kazakh can also be considered a European language. He added that Kazakh now joins English, French, German, Russian, and Portuguese, and other languages as a broadcast language, making it accessible to viewers across the EU and beyond — which is why they consider it an international language and see the launch as a positive and timely step.
