The Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, uniting religious figures, was held in Astana for the seventh time," Darkhan Kydyrali said.
The Minister also noted the special importance of the media in spreading tolerance.
"There is a non-use of hate speech in the media, but on the contrary, the role of the media in calling the country for unity, reconciliation and spiritual rapprochement of the population is great. I am confident that today's forum will also contribute to the achievement of this goal. I express my deep gratitude to the organizers," Darkhan Kydyrali said.
