The Asia Region Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting provides an opportunity to focus on regional and global youth development challenges and opportunities
The Asia Region Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting (AsR-CYMM) will be held in New Delhi, India, between 27-30 July 2015.
The meeting is convened by the Commonwealth Secretariat and hosted by the Government of India, under the theme ‘Youth Participation at the heart of sustainable development’. It brings together Ministers with responsibility for youth affairs, senior government officials and youth representatives from Commonwealth countries in Asia.
During the meeting, delegates will focus on youth development challenges and opportunities, including new global development goals for 2015 and beyond. Delegates will take stock of current trends in youth development in Asia and identify strategies and priorities for future action to advance youth empowerment in the Commonwealth.
The meeting incorporates a Youth Leaders’ Forum, managed by the Commonwealth Youth Council in conjunction with regional youth platforms in Asia.
It follows the 8th Commonwealth Youth Ministers Meeting in April 2013 in Papua New Guinea, which brought together Youth Ministers, senior government officials and young leaders from across the 53 nations of the Commonwealth to discuss youth policy priorities.
