About the AIF

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.
