Central Asia's Perspectives as Transit Land-Bridge between
Europe and China

International Conference organised by:

Friedrich Ebert Stiftung
Kazakh Institute for Strategic Studies
Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Kazakhstan

April 26, 2005
Almaty, Kazakhstan

Preliminary Concept:

Development of international continental transport  communications has been
and remains very important for Central Asian countries since the Silk Way
period. The construction of optimal schemes of interstate corridors is not
only a priority task for specialised agencies and ministries but, bearing in
mind regional specifics, this issue has an international political and
geopolitical meaning of its own. Successful Chinese experiences of the past
decade confirm these tendencies.

Central Asia has a unique position between Europe, China and Russia. The
Asian-Pacific Region (APR) is more and more one of the fastest
growing economies in the world. The European growth is becoming
intrinsically inter-linked with the economy of the APR.

Moreover, Central Asia countries as well as Russia are striving to ease
their dependence on export of natural resources and
counterbalance it by enlarging the productive sector of the economy. By
crossing the region, the construction of relevant infrastructures linking
the main geo-economic poles on the Eurasian landmass will trigger
sustainable growth in Eurasia.  The new routes will significantly increase
the transport of goods and services from West to East and vice versa and
will have a cross-regional impact on
transit countries' economies. The regions bordering transport corridors
would be positively affected and be able to increase trade themselves.

What is more, the new links will indirectly uphold peace in Central Asia,
giving a real interest in its stability to the neighbouring
powers.

Hence, the identification of future transit corridors is of a significant
strategic importance, and will have deep consequences for the
concerned regions. To facilitate this identification as well as to
strengthen its significance in a geopolitical context, the Friedrich-Ebert-
Foundation together with the Kazakh Institute for Strategic Studies and the
Embassy of the People's Republic on China in Kazakhstan will organise an
international conference in Almaty in April 2005.
