The European Union and Central Asia must continue moving engagement to the next level, from discussions and statements to actions across a broader spectrum.
The first-ever European Union (EU)-Central Asia (CA) summit will take place between April 3–4 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Josef Sikela, the European Union’s Commissioner for International Partnerships, recently highlighted the importance of this region, as “Central Asia is a €340 billion [$368 billion] economy that’s growing fast.” Indeed, Central Asia has great potential, and the upcoming summit will be a diplomatic milestone that could cement inter-regional trade and investment.
