Regional cooperation could have multiple benefits for NEAQA, because of the similarities among the countries in the region which, in some cases, could lead to a very close cooperation due to the lack of language barrier. Therefore, the representative of NEAQA participated in the CEENQA annual workshop and general assembly which took place from 17 to 18 May in Kyrenia, Cyprus. NAQA is at the moment preparing the application for membership in CEENQA.
