From March 21 to March 29, India hosts the Youth Forum of Central Asia and India, which is attended by delegations from Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
The event is organized in accordance with the agreements reached at the first India–Central Asia Summit, held on January 27, 2022 at the initiative of the Prime Minister of India. The Forum has become an important part of joint efforts to strengthen youth cooperation and promote cultural exchange between the countries of the region. 
A rich program has been prepared for the participants, which includes business meetings, educational, cultural and other events. The youth representatives visited the historical sites of Goa, including Fort Aguada and the Basilica of Bom Jesus, and took a river walk along the Mandovi River. An important part of the program was the meeting with the Governor of Goa.
The participants also had the opportunity to communicate with the volunteers of the Indian youth movement MY BHARAT. The Turkmen youth delegation is actively involved in the work of the forum, presenting modern views, initiatives and ideas for the development of regional cooperation.
In New Delhi, the Turkmen delegation visited the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi), where they got acquainted with advanced approaches to engineering education, digital technologies and startup culture. Of particular importance was the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India, during which the prospects for expanding youth exchange and implementing joint projects were discussed.
One of the highlights was the participation in the "Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue" forum, where delegates shared ideas, exchanged experiences with youth leaders from other countries, and participated in a cultural program and gala dinner.
In addition, the cultural exchange that took place within the framework of the forum played an important role in bringing peoples closer together: along with other participants, the Turkmen delegates demonstrated their creative talents in national performances and visited iconic symbols of Indian culture, including the Taj Mahal.
Participation in the international forum provides an excellent opportunity for Turkmen youth to broaden their horizons, to get acquainted with the best educational and innovative practices, to establish direct contacts with active youth India and the countries of the region.
The Forum promotes the popularization of Turkmen culture on the world stage, the principles of openness and peacefulness of the country, focused on the development of youth diplomacy and constructive dialogue.
The International Youth Gathering, held for the third time, is aimed at deepening cooperation between the young leaders of Central Asia and India, supporting educational, cultural and innovative initiatives.
