As USAID pulls back from Central Asia, some regional leaders are welcoming the change.

In just over a year, at least 523 people from post-Soviet countries passed through the Yablochkova recruitment center alone. Most are from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan (...) 82% lived in Russia for more than a month

In #CentralAsia, the #EU/states are way beyond the “value-based” policy. Now, here is a strategic partnership - in areas where Europe is already behind schedule. Also, good chance to observe the KZ/UZ vs KG/TJK/TRKM: what connects them, what divides; what is actually “regional”.
Today, we open a new chapter in the long-standing friendship between Europe and Central Asia.
With a new Strategic Partnership between our regions.

Actually. Anyone here would like to join forces in writing a paper gathering and evaluating the available evidence of competition...? Especially #economy people?
So many written pieces about how #Russia / the West/ #China strategically "compete" or "clash" in #CentralAsia and yet so little evidence of the actual competition and clashes...
