In his speech, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan highlighted the uniqueness of the Astana Club as a regional expert platform to address the issues concerning the future of Eurasia.
"We are in the very heart of this continent. Your opinion is very important to us. I think it is important not only for our region. The well-known international experts, authoritative politicians, and diplomats, whom I have known for a long time, are here in this hall today. Each of them has an independent view on the state of things, on the processes going on in the world. The Astana Club format makes it possible to effectively search for the answers to the most critical pressing questions of our time. In fact, the problems are very critical," Nursultan Nazarbayev said opening the session.
Recall that the third session of the Astana Club was held in Astana on November 13, 2017.
