“Today, Friday 6 November 2009, His Holiness Benedict XVI received in audience Nursultan Nazarbayev, president of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Mr Nazarbayev subsequently went on to meet Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B. and Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with States.

“During the course of the cordial discussions, attention turned to questions concerning the economic crisis in the light of the Encyclical ‘Caritas in Veritate’, to inter-religious dialogue and to the promotion of peace, on the eve of Kazakhstan’s presidency of the Organisation for Security and Co- operation in Europe (OSCE).

“At a bilateral level consideration was given, with satisfaction, to the good relations that exist between the Holy See and the Republic of Kazakhstan, and to certain themes concerning the current situation of life in the country. Mention was also made of the peaceful coexistence between faithful of various religions, and the hope expressed that believers may have an ever more active role in the life of the nation and in favour of the common good”.
