The Congress focused on the role of religious leaders in strengthening a world of tolerance against the backdrop of globalization. The first two congresses were held in 2003 and 2006. Initiated by the country’s President, Nursultan Nazarbayev, both the 1st and 2nd Congress were devoted to strengthening understanding between religious and ethnic groups with the ultimate intention of preventing conflicts.
