Brasília, 5 November 2026 – At the invitation of Brazil’s Federal Senate, the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan participated in the official ceremony establishing the Advisory Council of the Parliamentary Group for World Peace (Frente Parlamentar pela Paz Mundial).
The new parliamentary initiative was established under the chairmanship of Senator Paulo Paim and Ulisses Riedel, Executive Secretary of the Advisory Council, President of the Brazil–Kazakhstan Friendship Forum and former Senator.
The Group’s activities are aimed at establishing a permanent agenda focused on strengthening international dialogue and cooperation, coordinating efforts to promote peace, social justice, the protection of human rights, sustainable development and the reduction of social inequalities. As part of this initiative, Kazakhstan was invited to join the Advisory Council, reflecting international recognition of the country’s contribution to strengthening global security, advancing nuclear disarmament, and promoting interfaith and intercivilizational dialogue.
During the ceremony, particular attention was paid to Kazakhstan’s historic contribution to nuclear disarmament. In particular, the country’s voluntary renunciation of the nuclear arsenal inherited following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the closure of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site in 1991 were highlighted. These decisions became important milestones in the history of international nuclear disarmament and clearly demonstrated Kazakhstan’s commitment to the principles of peace, trust and global security.
Kazakhstan’s important role in promoting interfaith and intercivilizational dialogue was also emphasized. In this regard, the activities of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, regularly held in Astana, were highlighted. The Congress has established itself as a respected international platform for strengthening mutual understanding and fostering dialogue among representatives of different religious communities, cultures and nations.
According to the Brazilian side Kazakhstan’s participation in the Advisory Council opens up additional opportunities to expand interparliamentary contacts, strengthen cooperation between Kazakhstan and Brazil, and promote joint initiatives aimed at ensuring international peace, security and sustainable development.
