The CAMCA Regional Forum provides an invaluable opportunity for interaction with scholars, experts, and officials from across the countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia, including Afghanistan and Mongolia. The young leaders from these diverse countries have perspectives that are important to understand and engage in dialogue. It is especially important, in a time of policy upheavals in many countries, that the CAMCA Regional Forum provides a setting for informed reflection on where the countries in question have traveled, where they are going, and how interested outsiders from the Euro-Atlantic community can most productively engage with them.
