Panel I: Mid-term assessment In the midst of parliamentary and local elections, and also half-way through President Mirziyoyev's self-declared strategy for 2022-2026, this is a good moment to assess progress. How have the changes affected the nation's international image, its relationships with other countries and, most important of all, the well-being of ordinary people? We've assembled representatives of various sectors to discuss these questions.
Panel II: EU and Central Asia – What avenues for future cooperation?In 2022 and 2023, the Central Asian Heads of State and the President of the European Council held their first-ever high-level meetings, resulting in the preparation of a further joint roadmap for deepening ties between the EU and Central Asia. An EU–Central Asia leaders' summit is due to take place in 2024 and will be an opportunity to match the EU's political relevance in the region with its status of major donor and investor.
This intensification of high-level relations reflects Central Asia's growing geostrategic importance in the light of recent global developments. These developments also provide further avenues for partnership and cooperation in areas such as energy, agrifood, raw materials and connectivity.
Join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to learn more about the untapped opportunities in the Central Asian region and what the new avenues for cooperation with the EU are.
