Belarus’ National Day at Astana Expo 2017

Belarus’ National Day at Astana Expo 2017
13 Aug 2017

Belarus’ National Day at Astana Expo 2017 was held on 13 August. Guests of Astana Expo were introduced to the Belarusian hospitality and to an interactive exhibition showcasing more than 50 original R&D solutions and know-hows. Belarus’ National Pavilion has successfully combined the ideas of the Year of Science declared in Belarus in 2017 and the theme of the world expo Future Energy and has already welcomed over two million visitors. Among them were well-known politicians, diplomats, public and cultural figures, businessmen, journalists and, of course, tourists.

Symbolically, Belarus Day at Astana Expo was held under the sign of the many-year fruitful friendship between Belarus and Kazakhstan. In September the countries will mark 25 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two independent states. In the run-up to the important date, Belarus Prime Minister Andrei Kobyakov traveled to Kazakhstan on a working visit. The Belarusian head of government met with his Kazakhstan counterpart Bakhytzhan Sagintayev, attended the opening of the exhibition "Made in Belarus. Astana”, took part in the joint business forum and visited the Belarusian Pavilion at Expo 2017

Speaking at the Belarus Day opening event, Andrei Kobyakov highlighted the unique format of Astana Expo that gives visitors an opportunity “to make a trip around the world during one day, see how diverse the world civilization is and how beautiful our planet is”. Inviting the foreign guests to visit the national exposition, the prime minister highlighted the engineering industry, which is the locomotive of the Belarusian economy.
