(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 4. The opening session of Termiz Dialogue on Connectivity between Central and South Asia highlighted discussions on regional connectivity, economic cooperation, transport corridors, energy links, climate resilience, and cultural and humanitarian engagement as key pillars of interregional integration, Trend reports via the Institute for Strategic and Interregional Studies under the President of Uzbekistan.

Eldor Aripov, Director of the Institute for Strategic and Interregional Studies, described the Termiz Dialogue as a practical implementation of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's initiative to strengthen connectivity between Central and South Asia. He noted that the concept has received broad international support, including a 2022 UN General Assembly resolution that established a long-term legal foundation for transregional cooperation.

Aripov said the platform has already produced tangible results, contributing to trust-building and the development of practical initiatives involving governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society.

The agenda of the second session is structured around four main tracks, including political dialogue and economic connectivity, climate resilience, and cultural and humanitarian cooperation. Particular attention is being given to expanding trade, developing transport corridors, and strengthening energy cooperation across the region.

During the session was emphasized that economic interdependence plays a stabilizing role, helping reduce the risk of tensions while fostering long-term cooperation through shared interests and production networks.

Climate challenges were also a major focus, with participants noting that Central and South Asia remain highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, requiring coordinated regional responses due to the transboundary nature of environmental risks.
