Creative Central Asia Forum was founded in 2017 to stimulate a new type of leadership conversation between the UK and Central Asia, a conversation focused on the cultural and creative economy. This international conference and networking series was designed to build an influential and engaged leadership network whose members would start to drive forward the development of the region’s “new economies” through new partnerships and collaborative action with the UK in the intervening period between conferences.

After a reception at the residence, Ambassador Hugh Philpott wished every success to the team to present Turkmenistan at a high level and contribute to the development of the formation of cultural and creative economy in Turkmenistan
