the President Mirziyoyev’s article “Central Asia on the Threshold
of a New Era” says, Trend reports via the press service of the Uzbek

According to Mirziyoyev, consultative meetings between the
leaders of Central Asian countries have, in a relatively short

cooperation and dialogue based on trust. He stressed that these
meetings have become the key platform for developing shared
approaches to strategic issues that shape both the present and

context, strengthening cooperation is no longer just a political
aspiration but a strategic necessity.

stable and developing region, showcasing the role of deep regional
interconnectedness as a cornerstone for sustainable growth and
lasting security.
