As the international community moves towards an era of growing polarization and geopolitical division, Kazakhstan is launching a new platform for dialogue - the Astana International Forum - in order to unite efforts to address key global challenges.
The forum will serve as a platform for high-level delegates from foreign governments, international organizations, businesses, and academic circles to engage in dialogue and seek solutions to problems such as climate change, food shortages, and energy security.

This year, AIF 2024 aims to build upon the successes of its inaugural edition in 2023, anticipating the participation of over 5000 delegates from more than 50 countries. AIF 2024 is poised to once again re-energize the global community, offering fresh perspectives and collaborative solutions to some of the most critical challenges facing humanity today.
