The organizers selected energy security, trade and infrastructure, the interconnection of energy, climate and food, as well as the development of renewable energy in the regional context, as the main topics of the forum and the ministerial conference.
On the first day of the event, the participants in the dialogue agreed that the transition to reliable energy supply in the future will have a fundamental impact on the quality of life of all mankind, but it will remain unattainable without technological breakthroughs and innovations.
Also, during the Conference, the UN supported the idea of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev. He proposed the world community to create an international center for the development of "green" technologies and investment projects.
An important outcome of the Ministerial Conference will be the adoption of a ministerial statement with a number of specific measures to ensure the achievement of the goals of the global agenda for the period until 2030. The ministerial statement will form the basis for EXPO value manifesto - the main final document of the exhibition.
