“The NESA Region in 2020” Summit focused on identifying pressing security concerns in the NESA region and analyzing strategic changes that will shape the future of the region. Through a combination of plenary and working group sessions, the Summit provided multiple avenues for the exchange of ideas within the policy and academic communities. Over the course of two days, the conference explored the changing nature of the global political and economic system and the need for collective action articulated in a broad regional and global strategy to tackle shared security challenges. Following the opening plenary, three more plenaries were convened and five sub-regional working groups also began their deliberations over the course of the next three days, covering North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf, Central Asia, and South Asia.
