Holding of the International recognized exhibition EXPO-2017 in Astana is one of the national key projects of Kazakhstan initiated by Nursultan Nazarbayev – the Head of the State, the Leader of the Nation and the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The theme of the Exhibition - «Future Energy» - is the important issue of current interest for the whole international community. Kazakhstan has abundant energy resources and we recognize the importance of their proper use and the need to develop other sources of energy to ensure the steady development of the future of the whole world. Given our aspiration to arrange and hold the EXPO-2017 in Astana at the highest international level, we have completed the construction of the international pavilions for the official participants and prepared apartments of apart hotel class with all the accompanying facilities in the EXPO town, conducted a careful selection of the companies rendering commercial services, signed an agreement with the «DHL» transport and logistics company for provision of logistics services, started the work of the Technical Office and the Unified Service Center providing quick and easy consulting on all necessary services of state bodies of our country. We emphasize the special importance in the Exhibition thematic content of the “Best Practices Area” pavilion where the advanced projects in the field of energy will be demonstrated.
