The Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India, is set to host the third Central Asian Youth Delegation to India from 22nd to 28th March 2025, under the International Youth Exchange Programme (IYEP). This initiative aims to promote youth collaboration, cultural exchange and strengthen diplomatic ties between India and the Central Asian nations – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
This program follows the vision set forth during the India-Central Asia Summit held in January 2022, where the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India proposed an annual youth exchange initiative to enhance mutual understanding among young leaders from the region. The 100-member delegation will engage in diverse activities, exploring India’s historical, educational, and cultural landmarks while interacting with local youth leaders and key stakeholders.
Key Highlights of the Visit:
- Cultural and Heritage Immersion: Visits to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, and Goa’s heritage sites to experience India’s architectural and historical legacy.
- Academic and Economic Engagement: Interaction with students and faculty at IIT Delhi and visits to Goa Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI)/ Goa Institute of Management to explore India’s advancements in technology, research, and entrepreneurship.
- Youth Networking & Volunteerism: Engagement with MY Bharat volunteers to discuss youth empowerment, leadership, and innovation.
- High-Level Diplomatic Interactions: Call-on with the Hon’ble External Affairs Minister, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Goa, and Hon’ble Governor of Goa is scheduled to be organised, emphasizing the importance of youth diplomacy.
- Cultural Exchange & Gala Dinner: A roundtable and gala dinner will be organized in the honour of the delegation wherein the delegates will exchange their best practices to engage with youth in their nations.
The visit will serve as a catalyst for future collaborations, promoting cross-cultural understanding, leadership development, and international cooperation in key sectors. This youth exchange program reinforces India’s commitment to regional peace, friendship, and economic partnerships with Central Asia, ensuring that the bonds of goodwill continue to flourish.
