Promotion of the multi-religious dialogue through President’s initiative of hosting Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which will have its 10th anniversary next year, is another testament to the commitment of Kazakhstan to strengthen human rights and universal freedoms around the world.

Kazakhstan took the 47th place in the World Bank’s Doing Business rating for 2011. Our country had attracted around $150 billion of foreign investment during the independence years. Over a short period of time the GDP per capita in Kazakhstan grew from $700 dollars to $12.5 thousand dollars.
