India took the initiative to organize this delegation-level visit during the inaugural India-Central Asia Summit

A youth delegation from Central Asian nations will be in India from November 17–23 to revitalize and rethink the long-standing historical and cultural ties between India and their countries.

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India took the initiative to organize this delegation-level visit during the inaugural India-Central Asia Summit held in January of this year.

The youth delegation comprises youth leaders, high achievers, and influencers from Central Asian countries. During the visit, they will get a firsthand look at India's economy, its industrial, research, and technical prowess, as well as its rich cultural legacy and diversity.

The program will also include a trip to the Taj Mahal, calls to Indian leaders, and visits to prestigious research institutes and Indian businesses in Delhi and Mumbai.

Despite the fact that India and Central Asia have historically engaged in constant intellectual, commercial, and human interaction, one of the most common misconceptions about India in Central Asia is that it only has yoga, Buddhism, IT, Indian food, music, and Bollywood.

Because of this, the India-Central Asian Summit Framework was developed with the intention of reviving and reevaluating the long-standing historical and cultural links between India and countries in Central Asia.

This trip will also help people from Central Asian countries fully understand contemporary India in more depth through the impressions of young Central Asian delegates.
