Financial Times recommended Mehmet Fatih Oztarsu’s article on UK-Central Asia relations. The article, published by the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute – Silk Road Studies Program, garnered significant attention: “The UK has embarked on a quest to establish a new political framework aimed at enhancing its relations with Central Asia and countering regional rivals. In response to the Russia-Ukraine War and China’s expanding influence in the region, the UK has initiated a high-level strategy to redefine its approach to Central Asia. Nevertheless, there are concerns about the scale and scope of this effort. Even UK authorities are uncertain whether the current regional policies have the capacity to meet these new challenges.”
