The conference will take place from 30 June to 3 July 2025 in Seville, where the focus will be on increasing the mobilisation of socially beneficial private investments by development finance institutions. The dialogue at MNU formed part of the global preparatory process for the conference and served as a platform to deliberate on financial challenges confronting the international community in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cFor Maqsut Narikbayev University, participating in such a dialogue is not only an honour but also a reflection of our strategic mission: to serve as a place where the mindset of future leaders is shaped<\/em><em> <\/em><em>\u2014<\/em><em> <\/em><em>leaders capable of addressing global challenges guided by the principles of sustainability and equity,\u201d <\/em>said <strong>Sergey Pen<\/strong>, Provost of MNU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Experts noted that today, 40 percent of the world\u2019s population lives in countries where debt interest payments surpass expenditures on education and healthcare.

Nearly half of the 140 evaluated goals are showing negative trends. It is projected that by 2030, approximately 600 million people will still live in extreme poverty. Meanwhile, the annual development financing gap in developing countries is estimated at $4 trillion. In this context, the conference gains particular significance as a platform for advancing reforms to the global financial architecture and mobilising resources,\u201d <\/em>stated <strong>Kurtmolla Abdulganiyev<\/strong>, Head of the UN Resident Coordinator Office in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189-957x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33185 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189-957x1024.webp 957w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189-280x300.webp 280w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189-768x822.webp 768w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189-1435x1536.webp 1435w, https:\/\/mnu.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-112-scaled-e1749115620189.webp 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It is worth noting that hosting this event at Maqsut Narikbayev University reflects the university\u2019s commitment to strengthening the link between education, policymaking, and international initiatives.
