Germany agrees on strategic partnership with Central Asia: interest in the region is growing.

According to a report by www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de, Germany and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan - have agreed on a strategic partnership. This partnership aims to strengthen cooperation in the areas of economics, energy, climate, environment and regional cooperation. In addition, regular consultations should be established to promote direct exchange between citizens. The partnership should continue to emphasize the importance of human rights, the rule of law and an independent judiciary.

The impact of this partnership could be significant, particularly in the German economy. The raw material deposits in Central Asian countries, such as Kazakhstan, offer Germany interesting opportunities. Kazakhstan is already supplying oil to the Schwedt refinery, offsetting the cut in Russian supplies. In addition, Kazakhstan has uranium, iron ore, zinc, copper and gold. It could also be a potential partner for the production of hydrogen obtained from renewable energy. This partnership could help reduce Germany's economic dependence on Russia and diversify Germany's export-oriented business model.

The strategic partnership between Germany and the Central Asian states is also an important step towards strengthening Germany's political and economic relations with Asia. It is the first time that an EU member state is holding a Central Asia summit, underlining the importance of this region for Germany in the context of the global economy. It is expected that Germany will deepen its existing partnerships in Africa, Latin America and Asia in order to open up new markets and diversify economic relations worldwide.
