The Issyk-Kul Forum is an international intellectual and humanitarian platform created to discuss the global challenges facing humanity and the significance of culture, science, and moral values in the modern world.
The forum was founded in 1986 at the initiative of Chingiz Aitmatov with the aim of gathering leading thinkers, writers, scientists, and public figures from the East and West on the shores of Issyk-Kul at a time when the world was divided by the "Iron Curtain".
The first forum became a unique phenomenon for the late Soviet era, uniting representatives of various ideologies and cultures in an open dialogue format.
