International Center of the Capital Region

September of 2022, we hosted a group of emergency medical professionals from Ukraine, sponsored by the Congressional Office for International Leadership. During this visit, the Ukrainian visitors were able to meet with medical professionals and government officials in the Capital Region, to collaborate and exchange stories and ideas between our two countries.

We hosted six leaders from Central Asia, Mongolia, the Caucasus, and Afghanistan (CAMCA) for a high-level professional exchange experience. The 2024 CAMCA Fellowship program encouraged intraregional cooperation among the program countries and fostered stronger relations between the U.S. and the CAMCA region. Our impact forged enduring connections and served as a starting point for continued collaboration.

In May of 2022, we hosted Open World group from Moldova. Open World is a professional exchange program sponsored by the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL).

Moldova is a new democracy led by a woman President and Prime Minister. With a population of more than 2.6 million, Moldova borders on the southeast side of Ukraine. During the conflict with Russia, they have welcomed Ukrainian refugees, and condemned the actions of Russia.
