The required training should support participants in understanding the international legal framework, negotiation techniques, and multilateral co-operation mechanisms in cyberspace.
This two-day training should present a basic training programme on cyber diplomacy tailored for foreign affairs officials of Turkmenistan and representatives from other relevant Turkmen government institutions.
The training event shall be designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of how cybersecurity and digital technologies are reshaping the international diplomatic landscape.
