Abstract: Generalizations of the AGT correspondence between 4D $mathcalN=2$ $SU(2)$ supersymmetric gauge theory on ${mathbbC}^2$ with $Omega$-deformation and 2D Liouville conformal field theory include a correspondence between 4D $mathcalN=2$ $SU(N)$ supersymmetric gauge theories, $N=2,3,ldots$, on ${mathbbC}^2/{mathbbZ}_n$, $n=2,3,ldots$, with $Omega$-deformation and 2D conformal field theories with $mathcal{W}_{N,n}^{,para}$ ($n$-th parafermion $mathcal{W}_N$) symmetry and $widehatmathfraksl(n{)}_N$ symmetry. In this work, we trivialize the factor with $mathcal{W}_{N,n}^{,para}$ symmetry in the 4D $SU(N)$ instanton partition functions on ${mathbbC}^2/{mathbbZ}_n$ (by using specific choices of parameters and imposing specific conditions on the $N$-tuples of Young diagrams that label the states), and extract the 2D $widehatmathfraksl(n{)}_N$ WZW conformal blocks, $n=2,3,ldots$, $N=1,2,ldots,.$
