Central Asia was truly low, and this region was the most
disintegrated one on the international cooperation map. This was
due to the various border issues, differences in the political
outlook, differences in the vector of development, and so on. Over
the past five or six years, we have observed a serious trend toward
overcoming these differences, and developing regional
interconnectedness through the opening of borders,' Sarybay

countries of Central Asia are increasing their cooperation through
bilateral contacts between the heads of state, who meet to discuss
current issues. He said that it is a positive change for the entire

'If the Silk Road functions, as it did in earlier
centuries, the interconnectedness between the regions of Asia, as
well as Europe, will serve the welfare of the entire Asian
continent due to the development of economic ties, tourism, and
other spheres,' the CICA secretary general added.
In conclusion, Sarybay noted that the expansion of
cooperation between Central Asian countries serves the development
of Asia and the whole world, in light of the great role that Asia
