At the first EU-Central Asia summit held in Samarkand, leaders from the region emphasized their stability and the importance of regional cooperation. The European Union's acknowledgment of Central Asia as a unified bloc enhances their international standing. Kazakhstan, as a key player, highlighted its significant role in supplying oil and gas to the EU, which depends on the region for various critical resources. Central Asian leaders expressed their enthusiasm for cooperative projects with European counterparts to promote further development and investment opportunities.
The main conclusion for us is that, in principle, Central Asia is now perceived as a whole. Central Asia is a reliable bridge between China, South-East Asia and Europe, but it is also a reliable supplier of the necessary materials.
We are talking about everything from uranium, oil and gas to critical materials, foodstuffs, wheat.
