At the 151

The main focus of presentation was "

Kazakhstan's

Three Steps towards Planet

Earth." President Nursultan Nazarbayev addressed the BIE delegates by video.

In his speech, he noted that EXPO would be an important step for the country's

development, and the theme "Future Energy" is the only proper direction for

developing the planet.

The delegation was headed by the Prime Minister, Mr. Karim Massimov. In

addition,

Kazakhstan

was represented by Imangali Tasmagambetov, Akim

(Mayor) of Astana, and moderated by Mrs. Zhanar Aitzhanova, Minister for

Economic Integration,.

In his presentation, the Prime Minister focused on the theme "Future Energy".

Mr. Massimov noted that in its years of independence,

Kazakhstan

has

strengthened its position in the political arena. Nowadays the country

successfully hosts major international events. EXPO would be a logical step in

the development of a young and powerful country contributing to the global

movement to save the planet.

The theme "Future Energy" proposed by

Kazakhstan

reflects the most current

energy resource management problem for humanity and its solution poses a

strategic challenge for many countries.

Prime Minister spoke of

Kazakhstan's

significant achievements and stable

dynamics in economic growth.

Kazakhstan

presented 3 videos including the 3D layout of the EXPO grounds

and the Thematic pavilions in the planned exhibition area.

"We never received any previous bids from the

Central Asia

region.

Kazakhstan

is regarded as a peaceful country that stands outside the various conflicts in

the West and the East", noted Vicente Loscertales, BIE Secretary General.

Hosting an event of such importance may be an important milestone for

Kazakhstan

. According to the BIE requirements, for the 3 months of the

exhibition, Astana will meet at least 3-4 million people from 100 countries

around the world.

Belgian city Liege is a competitor for Astana. The decision for the host country

of EXPO 2017 will be made by the voting of 160 BIE member countries in

November 2012

.

Kazakhstan

has been a BIE member for over 14 years. The country participated

at EXPOs in Aichi, Zaragoza,

Shanghai

and this year in Yeosu, Korea.
