reference news reported on september 15according to a report on the deutsche welle radio website on september 14, german chancellor scholz will visit uzbekistan and kazakhstan from september 15 to 17, and attend the "central asian five + germany" talks in kazakhstan. in addition to the above two countries, the five central asian countries also include kyrgyzstan, turkmenistan and tajikistan. stefan meister of the german institute on foreign relations said in an interview with deutsche welle radio: "the focus of the talks will be on improving economic relations with the region." according to the german government, a "large high-level business delegation" will accompany scholz on the visit.
according to the report, kazakh deputy foreign minister roman vasilenko also pointed out this: "chancellor scholz's visit is a strong political signal, especially it comes from germany." vasilenko said that "he is accompanied by a large delegation of german business leaders", which is no coincidence. this visit will inject "new vitality" into bilateral relations.
according to reports, a report by the german science and politics foundation shows that germany has long been promoting cooperation with central asia within the eu. the authors of the report believe that the interests of both sides are complementary: germany hopes to diversify its energy supply, while central asian countries hope to establish an economic and political partnership with germany for geopolitical reasons.
however, experts interviewed by deutsche welle said that germany's desire to achieve a breakthrough in economic exchanges with central asia has not been realized. meister holds a similar view: "in my opinion, there is a lot of symbolic politics here. to be honest, i see more disappointment in central asian countries, which once had high expectations for cooperation with germany."
