Kazakh President made 'new UN' - Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel Shlomo Amar

"The President and people of Kazakhstan succeeded in this. Kazakhstan's success in ensuring inter-confessional accord and tolerance is the example for the whole world," Rabbi Shlomo Amar, the Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel said.

Shlomo Amar told a briefing for media representatives organized within the IV Congress of Leaders of World and traditional Religions in Astana.

"Differences between religions are not so important as the mutual understanding and tolerance, capacity to hurdle inter-confessional barriers and ovrcome challenges of multicultural world."

The Congress in Astana provides such an opportunity as Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev has made a "new UN" uniting not only nations, but also religions, cultures and societies with various ideologies and world-view," Amar noted.
