 nada</p><p>The event seeks to:</p><ul><li>Set a new path of inter-regional 
 conversation that brings together voices from Central Asia (CA) and South A
 sia (SA) to discuss further diversification of trade and regional connectiv
 ity during the COVID-19 pandemic.</li><li>Underscoring the significance of 
 inter-regional cooperation\, identifies challenges as well as ways to tackl
 e these barriers vis-à-vis regional transit and trade facilitation between 
 CA and SA during this pandemic.</li><li>Finding answers on how governments 
 respond to the pandemic will have a lasting impact on the regions stability
  during and post COVID-19. Given the diverse and compact nature of the Cent
 ral and South Asian region adds complexity fighting the pandemic. Measures 
 to limit the virus’s spread have spurred massive economic contraction which
  is disproportionately affecting the region’s most vulnerable populations.<
