Uzbekistan Proposes New Regional Cooperation

Uzbekistans President Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed a new regional cooperation organization, the Community of Central Asia, aiming to boost economic integration among the five post-Soviet republics. The initiative, which includes Azerbaijan, seeks to strengthen economic, security, and environmental cooperation, diversifying international relationships beyond Russia and engaging with Western countries and China. While no immediate response was given, all five countries have expressed interest in greater regional integration, despite past strained relationships. The leaders recently visited Washington and agreed to include Azerbaijan in their regular meetings. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
