Capital re-named in honour of former president
Kazakhstan yesterday renamed its capital Astana. The capital’s new name, Nursultan, has been chosen to honour Kazakhstan’s former president Nursultan Nazarbayev who resigned on Tuesday after three decades in office. The decision was unanimously approved at a meeting involving the two houses of parliament, where Kasim-Yomart Tokayev, 65, was pronounced president.
