The Forum was very useful both in terms of understanding the local context of Uzbekistan and Central Asia more broadly, as well as for developing necessary networking links with experts and peers which will be useful in future years. I was very impressed by the reforms in Uzbekistan and overall it was easy to witness the enormous potential for regional cooperation, which we’ve underutilized so much thus far. The Forum will help us further think about creative ways for integration and cooperation in the CAMCA Region for the sake of peace and prosperity.
