DEar laDiES aND gENTlEmEN!
On behalf of kazenergy Association, it is my great pleasure
to greet participants and guests of the 21st World Energy Congress!
Since 2009, Kazakhstan has been a full member of the World Energy Council.
The Republic’s membership in such a prestigious and well-established international organization
creates conditions for the stable development of the country’s energy industry, and ensures
Kazakhstan’s wider participation in the field of global energy.
The participation of the Kazakhstani delegation in the World Energy Congress is an important
step towards strengthening international cooperation on the topic of energy, and Kazakhstan’s
position within it.
The Congress is the largest event in the global energy industry. Providing a forum for leading
representatives of the global energy complex to discuss topical issues and aspects of energy
development, the Congress offers a splendid opportunity to increase multilateral interaction,
to strengthen dialogue and understanding, to exchange opinions and experiences, and also to
demonstrate the advances and achievements of the energy industry.
Crucially, the 21st World Energy Congress will concentrate its attention on aspects of the ecological
development of energy, and environment protection, following the key theme: «Energy
for transition for a living planet» The Congress will search for appropriate solutions to the challenges
of developing.eco-friendly energy.
One of the top long-term priorities of Kazakhstan’s contribution to the sphere of energy development
is an increase in ecological stability, as well as an optimal use of natural resources.
I’m sure that the working proceedings and results of the discussions at Congress will provide
further encouragement to build an environmentally friendly, ecology-based energy complex
both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the whole world.
I wish you success and productive debates!
