On August 6, as part of the LLDC3 Youth Forum in Avaza, a side event titled "Youth Policy in Action" was held, focusing on strengthening regional leadership and strategic investments for landlocked countries.
The meeting brought together representatives of government bodies, the UN system, youth organizations, and civil society. The event continued the Central Asian Youth Dialogue, which began in Arkadag and was further developed at the UN Headquarters in New York in April 2025.
Azat Ataev, Deputy Minister of Education of Turkmenistan, emphasized the need to direct youth potential toward creative industries with high added value. Kaha Imnadze, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Central Asia, proposed establishing an Academy of Preventive Diplomacy to foster mutual understanding among young people.
Participants called on LLDC countries to empower youth as strategic partners in national development, align education with labor market needs, and integrate the younger generation into innovation and entrepreneurship.
At the conclusion of the meeting, participants expressed their readiness to continue the dialogue on future international platforms, so that youth from LLDCs play a key role in shaping decisions that determine their future.
