Central Asia is becoming the new crossroads of global power, with the United States scheduling a major summit with the region’s five leaders for November 6.
This meeting, confirmed by the Kazakh and Kyrgyz presidents, will focus on the region’s strategic role as both a resource base and a logistics hub.
It comes amid a heated diplomatic competition. Russia’s influence has been questioned, while China, the EU, and the US are all seeking to strengthen their ties.
The five nations are rich in rare earths and are working to revive their historical position as a key trade corridor between East and West.
This Washington summit signals a clear American intent to be a key partner in the region’s future, offering an alternative to the influence of Moscow and Beijing.
