Kazakhstan’s Initiative for Hosting Astana International Forum 2023

289

Kazakhstan has been actively playing a role in international peace and security.
In recent years, Kazakhstan has taken on a leadership role in promoting
mediation, dialogue, and conflict resolution.
It is a very well initiative taken by Kazakhstan to host international events focused
on promoting peace and security such as Astana International Forum.
Astana International Forum will help to build not only regional security but also
a balancing approach among powerful states.
Kazakhstan has also sought to increase engagement among the West, particularly
the European Union and the United States, on issues such as energy security,
economic development, and security cooperation. The international community
must not miss a chance to address these issues at the Astana International Forum
and contribute to a more stable and prosperous world for all.
Kazakhstan has become an important player in regional and global development
initiatives. I hope this initiative will be more successful in connecting the

international and regional powers in promoting the principles of globalization and
multilateralism. Kazakhstan’s global outreach must be taken into consideration.
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the President of Kazakhstan, has been a strong
advocate for global peace. He has made this initiative for global development and
prosperity. He is a strong advocate for promoting inter-cultural and inter-religious
dialogue and advocating for disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction. He has also played a key role in mediating conflicts and
promoting stability. Through these efforts, President Tokayev is fulfilling to
contribute to the creation of a more peaceful and stable world through this
platform.
Conducting international conferences on important issues and integrating
stakeholders/experts from all around the world is a clear manifestation of unity
and regionalism. Kazakhstan’s main objective is likely to be fulfilled through this
platform to interlink states in diverse areas.
This platform will be a discussion place for countries and negotiate solutions to
common challenges and they also provide funding and support for the development
programs and peacekeeping missions.
Kazakhstan believes in peace, cooperation, dialogue, and openness, rather than
war, hegemony, confrontation, and seclusion, which represent the correct and the
the only path to a better future for mankind.
International cooperation is critical for resolving many of the world’s most
pressing issues, such as conflict, poverty, climate change, and disease. When
countries work together, they can pool their resources, share their expertise, and
leverage their collective power to address these challenges.
The vision to host this International conference shows that Kazakhstan has
championed internationalism stood on the right side of history and the
the progressive side of humanity, and contributed to global peace, humanity, and
development.
To address issues such as terrorism, extremism, climate change, the Covid
pandemic, and refugee crisis, the Astana International Forum is placing a high priority
on cooperation as a fundamental principle of effective global order.
International cooperation is critical for resolving many of the world’s most
