History
Written by Jalil Sadykov and Shabdanbek Kuluyev and composed by Nasyr Davlesov and Kalyy Moldobasanov, the anthem was adopted on 18 December 1992 by a resolution of the Jogorku Kenesh.

The Jogorku Kenesh voted in favour of the commission's proposal on 27 December 2012 with resolution N 2648-V.
