One of the most anticipated and significant events of this semester is approaching – the Youth Forum of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), scheduled to take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Among the planned events is the Second Dialogue of the Youth of Central Asian Countries, which has become a unifying initiative of Turkmenistan, reflecting the country’s commitment to regional integration and the joint promotion of sustainable development ideals.

The essence of the entire event will boil down to one important idea – the youth of Central Asia must take the lead in addressing the strategic issue of regional integration and future planning. Based on their ambitious projects and ideas, they should lay the foundation for joint actions aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Therefore, representatives from various youth communities will be involved in the event to ensure that every voice is heard not only at the national level but also at the regional level.
