As Emomali and Mirziyoeva

As Emomali and Mirziyoeva were being received in Moscow last week, Central Asia hosted Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who said the region “has now gained strategic significance” for Europe. Meanwhile, China has surpassed Russia to become Central Asian countries’ largest investor and trading partner in recent years as they increasingly seek to diversify their relationships and reduce dependency on Moscow. Khidirnazar Allakulov, a leading Uzbek economy professor and opposition activist, told RFE/RL’s Uzbek Service he believes that “through Saida and Rustam, Russia made it clear to the [Uzbek and Tajik presidents] that it is unhappy with their growing relations with Europe.” สล็อตเว็บตรง
