"An Incredible Journey": The U.S. ambassador bid a heartfelt farewell to the people of Kazakhstan before stepping down.

The video was posted on the official Instagram page of the U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan. It features moments from Rosenblum's work in Kazakhstan, along with his address to the people of Kazakhstan in both Kazakh and English.

The ambassador stated that after 28 years in diplomatic service, he is retiring, which is why he is leaving his position.

"It has been a tremendous honor for me to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan. This has been an incredible journey in building friendships, establishing partnerships, and working together to strengthen the ties between our two countries," shared Daniel Rosenblum.

Notably, according to information on the official website of the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Kazakhstan, Daniel Rosenblum took the oath of office as his country's ambassador to Kazakhstan on October 28, 2022. Prior to this, in August, the U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination.

Rosenblum's predecessor, William Moser, completed his work in our country in September 2021.

Before his ambassadorship in Kazakhstan, Daniel Rosenblum served as the U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan from 2019 to 2022 and was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central Asia in the State Department's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.

From 2008 to 2014, he was the coordinator of U.S. assistance to the countries of Europe and Central Asia, responsible for ensuring the strategic and effective allocation and expenditure of more than $1 billion in foreign aid annually. Before that, he held various positions in the Office of the Coordinator for Assistance.

In the 1980s, Rosenblum worked as an advisor to U.S. Senator Carl Levin. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and also earned master's degrees in Soviet Studies and International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

Remember, in March, Daniel Rosenblum published a video congratulating the people of Kazakhstan on Nauryz in the state language.

In July, Rosenblum visited the Steppe Memorial Museum in Ұлытау to pay tribute to the victims of Soviet repressions and to learn about this dark period in Kazakhstan's history. The U.S. Embassy shared a video of his journey across the steppes accompanied by Kazakh songs.
