Join EGS@ITIC and CFTNI for a discussion of how the U.S. and compete with powers like Russia and China for influence in Central Asia. Great Power Competition in Central Asia. Central Asia has long been subject to the influence of Russia and China, as their proximity and historical relationships with these states have fostered longstanding strategic and economic ties. While American engagement with the Central Asian States has intensified as the U.S. seeks to access critical minerals, transportation corridors, and energy resources, centuries of Russian and Chinese interaction with the region pose significant competitive challenges. Join us for a discussion in a pivotal moment for U.S.-Central Asian relations, as the agreements reached at the C5+1 summit and the inclusion of Kazakhstan in the Abraham Accords stand to redefine this competition.
