Central Asia and China: cooperation in the field of ecology and environment

Abstract

Since the declaration of independence, the countries of Central Asia as full members of the international
community, on the basis of equality of mutual benefit, develop relations with the states of the
world. The development of multilateral ties with China is one of the priorities of the foreign policy of
Central Asia. Relationships for a quarter of a century from simple trade have grown to the level of strategic
partnership. Despite the fact that bilateral and multilateral relations have reached a high level of
development, due to various political and economic factors there appear new problems. Among them,
the problem of environmental protection and environmental protection is acute. Attempts to implement
projects that are strategically important for the state sometimes lead to situations that are contrary to the
interests of neighboring countries.
