Stubb\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0visit to MNU marked his first official trip to Kazakhstan as Finland\u2019s President. During the lecture, he discussed the potential for cooperation between the two nations, the importance of the rule of law, and the role of middle powers in global politics.

\u201cI shared my perspective on the transformation of the global order with the students, as the next generation will play a pivotal role in this process. We must always hold onto values such as integrity, sovereignty, and independence,\u201d<\/em> Stubb <\/strong>remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Finnish President\u2019s appearance underscored Kazakhstan\u2019s growing influence on the international stage, a development fueled by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev\u2019s <\/strong>initiatives to promote values of openness, trust, and a fair global order. Thanks to President Tokayev\u2019s policies, such dialogues have become possible, further strengthening the country\u2019s global standing. MNU Chairman Talgat Narikbayev<\/strong> expressed gratitude to President Stubb <\/strong>for the opportunity for dialogue and conveyed his belief that the lecture would inspire students to pursue new accomplishments and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was attended by Kazakhstan\u2019s Minister of Science and Higher Education, Sayasat Nurbek<\/strong>, MNU faculty members, experts, members of the Finnish delegation, and both Kazakh and international journalists. A special segment of the lecture was dedicated to answering student questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe lecture was insightful. President Stubb shared his thoughts on public service, bilateral relations, and the future direction of our world. I particularly remember his valuable advice on how to make the most of all our opportunities,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said MNU student Alikhan Isekeshev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, MNU had hosted lectures from prominent global leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron<\/strong>, former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz<\/strong>, and former Dutch Prime Minister and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
