TRIMMED AND REWRITTEN ARTICLE:
Get ready for the Astana International Forum 2025 (AIF2025), the grandest business extravaganza in the region, happening right in the heart of Kazakhstan's capital from May 29-30! This epic event, according to a report by Kazakh Ministry of Economy on April 7, promises to gather the world's finest minds - global leaders, influencers, investors, and industry titans - to confront today's pressing global issues.
The event boasts a hefty agenda, with a high-level plenary session and 25 discussion platforms. Expect around 600 international guests, graced by luminaries such as political heavyweights, heads of international organizations, corporate moguls, investors, and academics.
As I delved into the details of this event, I didn't find a comprehensive list of confirmed participants. However, the lucky few that have been announced so far include Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, Andrej Plenković, Prime Minister of Croatia, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar. Other notable figures like Ban Ki-moon, the 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, have also been confirmed.
This year, AIF focuses on three key global themes: foreign policy and international security, energy and climate change, and economy and finance. It's happening at a time when the world is locked in a fierce struggle for investment, and Kazakhstan's openness shines brighter than ever. The country's commitment to forging strong links with leading global corporations and financial institutions continues unabated.
Reforms, modernization, and an ever-improving investment climate are unlocking new economic opportunities and driving Kazakhstan's development. AIF2025 aims to serve as a vital platform for open dialogue, foreign investment attraction, strategic partnership signing, and promoting initiatives fostering sustainable economic growth.
Leading up to AIF2025, several business forums will be held to strengthen economic ties with Kazakhstan's key partners,such as the Kazakhstan-France Business Forum and Kazakhstan-Italy Business Forum, slated for May 28. These events will pave the way for international collaboration, technology sharing, and the implementation of joint investment projects, fostering a closer bond between Kazakhstan and its partners.
