The CAMCA Forum is a truly unique initiative. By bringing together and fostering dialogue among young leaders, policy makers and practitioners from Central Asia, the Caucasus, Afghanistan and Mongolia, it restores the true spirit of this vast macro-region, which used to be the interconnected center of a vibrant civilization on its own, unified not only by transport and trade, but by intellectual and cultural exchange. In a world of interconnecting regions, CAMCA countries can once again emerge as a region open to the world and aware of both its past and its common future.  The CAMCA Forum is indeed the best platform to start building this future.
