Gulsana Kozhabai, Chairperson of the Board of the International Center for Interfaith and Interreligious Dialogue, met with Patrick Kearon in Astana to discuss interfaith collaboration. Kearon serves in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The parties discussed issues related to the development of interreligious cooperation, the promotion of universal human values, and the exchange of experience in the fields of spiritual service and social responsibility.

Both parties confirmed their interest in strengthening practical cooperation and jointly promoting initiatives aimed at fostering a culture of peace, mutual understanding, and respect among peoples and religions.
