Francis wants to visit the September 14/15 inter-religious congress in Nur-Sultan (formerly: Astana) in Kazakhstan, he told Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in a video (VaticanNews.va).

The congress initiated in 2003, is held every three years on the model of the "Day of Prayer for Peace" convened in Assisi by John Paul II. The 2022 Congress is about the highfalutin theme “The Role of Leaders of World and Traditional Faiths in the Socio-Spiritual Development of Humanity after the Pandemic.”

Scheduled for June 2021, the meeting was postponed due to Covid. The meeting place is a 77 meters pyramid built in 2018 as a conference venue for world and religious leaders.
