In early October, the Stiftung West-Östliche Begegnungen, together with the Evangelische Akademie Sachsen-Anhalt e.V., held the conference “Looking to Central Asia – and Back” in Lutherstadt Wittenberg.

Experts from politics, business, and culture offered fascinating insights into developments in the Central Asian countries and discussed the region’s opportunities and challenges with the participants.

For those who could not attend, there is now an opportunity to listen to an expert perspective: Dr. Birgit Wetzel, a Central Asia expert and member of the Board of Trustees of the Stiftung West-Östliche Begegnungen, conducted interviews with the speakers.

Listen here to the conversation with Gemma Pörzgen, journalist.
