The event, titled "Peaceful Atom and Sustainable Development of Kazakhstan," was dedicated to the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and its role in the country's sustainable development.

This event was timed to coincide with the upcoming referendum on October 6 and was held within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG No. 7 – "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all."
