Central Asian representatives convened at the Termez Dialogue in Uzbekistan to enhance economic opportunities and support Afghanistan's outreach for international engagement after years of isolation. Initiated by Uzbekistan, this dialogue aims to create a permanent platform for discussions on cooperation including trade, humanitarian exchange, and infrastructure projects, especially significant in light of the Taliban's governance. With the establishment of high-voltage power lines and planned infrastructure developments such as new roads and railways to Afghanistan, the meeting signifies a commitment to economic integration and practical assistance in the region.
The main goal of this dialogue is to create a permanent, functional platform within which the representatives of Central and South Asian countries can discuss a wide range of cooperation issues, from interconnectivity, trade and economic cooperation to humanitarian exchange.
Uzbekistan's efforts reflect a broader regional push for 'acceptance of reality' in engaging with Afghanistan, highlighting the need for economic integration amid ongoing political challenges.
