ARMENIA TO ATTEND “ASIA SOCIETY” FORUM
Support A1+!The Second “Asia Society” international business forum will take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, on June 12-14. The conference will feature senior officials of international and regional organisations, and representatives of the business world. The first “Asia Society” international forum took place in June, 2005.
For the first time the Armenian delegation headed by RoA Deputy Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanian will attend the forum.
The President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Prime Minister Karim Massimov, EU Special Representative for Central Asia Pierre Morel and other officials are expected to address the forum.
By bringing together business, government, and thought leaders, this conference will provide an important forum for examining Kazakhstan's emergence as a global economic player. Kazakhstan's rapid expansion presents advantages as well as challenges to establishing long-term economic prosperity and stability in the region. This conference aims to promote a deeper understanding of the key aspects of Kazakhstan's development and to identify future priorities and strategies. Kazakhstan has a pivotal role to play in fostering and strengthening partnerships with its neighboring countries and the broader pan-Asian community. As Central Asia becomes increasingly important, Kazakhstan is poised to become a strategic destination for investment and a bridge for trade between Asia and the West.
