Uzbekistan is set to host the second Termez Dialogue on Connectivity, a key regional forum focused on fostering cooperation between Central and South Asia. The event, scheduled for June 4-6 in Termez, will convene government officials, international organizations, and experts. Its central theme, โPeace, Connectivity and Prosperity: Building a Common Space of Shared Well-Being,โ highlights the dialogue's ambition to create a more integrated and prosperous region.
The agenda includes discussions on strengthening regional connectivity, addressing pressing security challenges, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and enhancing cooperation with Afghanistan. The participation of representatives from Afghanistan, Central and South Asia, Europe, and beyond underscores the event's broad scope and international significance.
Afghanistan, as the โHeart of Asia,โ seeks to play an active role in regional affairs and that the growing relationship between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan reflects a shared commitment to sustainable development and regional prosperity.
Beyond the formal sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to visit significant local sites, including the Airitom International Trade Center and the Termez Cargo Logistics Center. These visits aim to provide a practical understanding of the region's logistical capabilities and economic potential.
The dialogue is expected to culminate in the adoption of a joint declaration. This declaration will serve as a roadmap for strengthening mutual trust, promoting constructive collaboration, and advancing sustainable connectivity initiatives across Central and South Asia. The inaugural event last year laid the groundwork for this ongoing commitment to regional integration and shared development.
Afghanistan, as a natural bridge between Central and South Asia, has consistently sought to play a constructive and proactive role in regional and international processes.
