Andrew D’Anieri on the Historic Turning Point Marked by the Ferghana Peace Forum
The Ferghana Peace Forum stands as “a powerful sign of political independence in a region long under external influence,” observes Andrew D’Anieri, Associate Director at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.
Fresh from Uzbekistan, where he attended the event, D’Anieri highlights how Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan reaffirmed their commitment to peace by demarcating borders that had remained disputed since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The expert also comments on the renewed U.S. interest in Central Asia, reflected in the C5+1 Presidential Summit launched by President Trump in Washington—an initiative aimed at strengthening economic and strategic ties with the region.
