Astana hosts 8th Congress of world religious leaders with calls for peace and dialogue

Astana has hosted the 8th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, gathering 100 delegations from 60 countries under the theme “Synergy for the Future.”

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev urged faith leaders to prevent the world’s “descent into chaos,” while debates centred on küresel conflicts and safeguarding religious heritage. The UN Alliance of Civilizations held its first session at the Congress, warning of rising threats to holy sites.

The three-day event ended with the Astana Declaration of Peace, calling for dialogue and joint action.
