The online meeting of the expert group was held on 28 June and brought together representatives of Belarus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, the CIS Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation, and the CIS Executive Committee. The participants of the meeting discussed and finalized the draft provision taking into account remarks and proposals submitted by the member states.
The aim of the international CIS Youth Capital project is to step up joint work and put in place conditions for nurturing the potential of the youth and developing relevant infrastructure as important aspects of sustainable development. The CIS member states will take turns to run the project in alphabetical order (according to the Russian alphabet). In selecting the Youth Capital, the CIS will take into account useful experience of the city authorities and public institutions involved in the youth policy, public youth initiatives, prerequisites for the international youth cooperation, the degree of development of cultural life and the necessary infrastructure.
The CIS Youth Capital will host a meeting of the CIS Council on Youth Affairs and the Forum of Youth Public Associations of the CIS Member States.
