President Tokayev Highlights Importance of Cultural Tolerance at Astana Religious Congress
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the President of Kazakhstan, has emphasized the importance of policies promoting interethnic, interreligious, and intercultural tolerance and mutual respect at the ongoing Congress of World and Traditional Religious Leaders in Astana.
Tokayev, in his address, noted extremely negative trends have gained momentum in the world since the previous Congress. He expressed concern over the concept and practice of state-building by ruling powers leading to a lack of peaceful dialogue and mutual interaction among cultures, religions, and worldviews.
The President highlighted a growing trend of merging ultranationalism and patriotism in practice, with political leaders in several major countries, including Vladimir Putin in Russia and other nationalist leaders in Eurasia and beyond, being mentioned as examples.
However, specific names beyond Tokayev's reference are not detailed in the provided search results.
Tokayev did not repeat his previous concern about the nuclear threat or his call to religious leaders to counter rising tensions. Instead, he focused on the internal policy of Kazakhstan, where the country pays particular attention to these global issues.
In his speech, Tokayev also stated that any attempts to undermine the policy of 'unity in diversity' in Kazakhstan, particularly in terms of language usage in state service and public places, will face legal consequences.
Kazakhstan, under Tokayev's leadership, has been actively working towards promoting intercultural dialogue and understanding, and the ongoing Congress of World and Traditional Religious Leaders is a testament to this commitment. The Congress, which brings together religious leaders from various faiths, aims to foster a peaceful and harmonious coexistence among different cultures and religions.
