Bishkek Hosts C5+ Forum

Last week, Bishkek hosted a C5+ business forum, where Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov met with US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor. Discussions focused on political and economic engagement, as well as cooperation in the transport sector.

Region at the Crossroads

Razbaev said that Central Asia is steadily transforming into a zone where the interests of major global players intersect. While this opens new prospects for growth and diversification, it also makes coordination among regional states increasingly essential.

The expert concluded that strengthening dialogue within frameworks such as C6 will help Central Asian countries shape balanced strategies and safeguard their collective interests amid intensifying global competition.
