Hello,
My name is Susan Yam and I am the VP of the International Students
Consortium (ISC) at Boston University. On November 16, ISC will be
holding two forums that will focus on Central Asia. Topics include:
energy, human rights, democracy, and Central Asia's relationship with
the United States, Russia, Europe, and Turkey.
We have been extremely honored with the participation of:
Ambassador of Kyrgyzstan, Zamira Sydykova
Ambassador of Azerbaijan Yashar Aliyev
Ambassador of Turkmenistan Meret Orazov
Ambassador of Tajikistan Khamrokhon Zaripov
Below is an itinerary of the forums if you wish to attend, and I have
also attached a flyer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to e-mail me back.
We hope to have the opportunity to see you there!
Respectfully,
Sue Yam
VP of ISC
