Residential buildings for the Exhibition participants, a hotel complex, the Congress Hall and other facilities necessary for this major event have been erected. “Astana” International Financial Center will function here after the exhibition, Nursultan Nazarbayev said.
The President of Kazakhstan spoke about the Exhibition’s main idea and expositions of "Nur Alem" Pavilion, which is the main object of EXPO-2017.
In his turn, the President of the Republic of Belarus thanked Nursultan Nazarbayev for the invitation to participate in the International Exhibition’s opening ceremony.
- We intend not only to inspect the pavilions, but also carefully study your experience in сonstructing exposition complexes, since we plan to organize an exhibition of the national economy achievements, Alexander Lukashenko said.
In addition, the President of Belarus has underscored that Nursultan Nazarbayev pays much attention to restoring objectivity in studying the historical past.
- You did a lot to create ALZHIR Museum on the site of a former camp. People from all over the former Soviet Union were deported here, and women from Belarus were also detained there. Today we have brought samples of correspondence and cases of those whose fates are connected with the camp. These are unique documents, Alexander Lukashenko said.
At the end of the meeting, the leaders of two countries have also given consideration to topical issues of bilateral relations’ development.
