President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has strongly criticized the recent acts of burning the Quran in several Northern European countries. In an official statement released by his press service, President Tokayev deemed these actions as impermissible provocations aimed at exacerbating tensions in the modern world and undermining trust between peoples and nations.
Kazakhstan, under President Tokayev's leadership, has taken a proactive stance in promoting religious tolerance and understanding. The country has initiated the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, providing a platform for constructive dialogue among prominent representatives of various faiths and beliefs.
The president expressed concern over the growing incidents of religious vandalism and the irresponsible behavior of certain individuals in these respective European states. He called for unanimous condemnation of such actions, as they run contrary to the universally recognized norms of civilized coexistence between nations and religions.
President Tokayev highlighted the significance of addressing this issue on an international level. He urged the United Nations General Assembly to play a pivotal role in speaking out against these provocative acts, reaffirming the importance of respect and harmony among all nations and faiths.
