Central Asia is re-emerging on the global stage as a region of critical importance, with the United States set to host its five leaders for a summit on November 6.
The meeting, confirmed by Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, will focus on the region’s vast economic potential. The C5 are rich in natural resources and are working to revive their role as a historical logistics hub.
This American initiative is part of a broader trend. Russia’s influence has been challenged by the Ukraine war, leading to a surge in diplomatic engagement from China, the EU, and now the US.
Each power is vying for a stronger foothold, seeking access to minerals, energy, and strategic trade routes.
The Central Asian states are using this moment to attract investment and forge new partnerships, carefully balancing the competing interests of global superpowers.
