On 7 July 2026 in Geneva, Minister of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerlan Sarsembayev took part in the opening of the 68th series of meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and delivered a statement on behalf of the Kazakh delegation, setting out Kazakhstan's key priorities for the further development of the intellectual property system.

A landmark event in Kazakhstan's participation in this year's Assemblies became the opening of the country exhibition of the Republic of Kazakhstan, “Heritage of the Great Steppe”, held the following day at WIPO headquarters with participation of the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the World Trade Organization and International Economic Organizations Kairat Torebayev, the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva Yerzhan Kazykhan as well as other distinguished guests.

The ceremony brought together WIPO Director General Daren Tang, heads and representatives of foreign delegations and participants in the Assemblies. For Kazakhstan the exhibition holds particular significance as it presents the country as a nation that carefully preserves its rich cultural heritage while reimagining it through modern technologies, creative interpretation and new forms of international cultural engagement.

The exhibition showcases the depth and diversity of Kazakhstan's cultural legacy as a living foundation of national identity and contemporary creative expression. It features decorative and applied arts, elements of traditional costume, musical instruments and objects of everyday nomadic life.

At the heart of the exhibition is the immersive multimedia installation “Masterpieces of Kazakhstan’s Painting” presented in cooperation with the Abylkhan Kasteyev National Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The project brings together outstanding works of Kazakh visual art and modern digital technologies, offering international audiences a new way to experience and appreciate the country's artistic heritage.

The cultural programme featured the ethno-folk ensemble “Joshy Qazaq National Group”, which combined the traditional sound of Kazakh instruments with a contemporary stage performance. Guests were also introduced to Kazakhstan's rich gastronomic traditions.

The “Heritage of the Great Steppe” exhibition will remain on display at WIPO headquarters until 15 July 2026 and forms an important part of the cultural programme of the Assemblies, reflecting Kazakhstan's commitment to promoting its historical and creative heritage on the international stage.
