Central Asian States and EU signed in Bishkek a new EU Strategy for CA. It was a document based on previous dialogue between Brussels and the Central Asian countries. The EU has supported this region since the times of the independence, always focus on energy and security. Although there was a Strategy in 2007, that was improved with the next one, the New EU Strategy for CA (2019). This document set three interconnected and mutually reinforcing priorities: Partnering for Resilience, Partnering for Prosperity and Working Better Together. Sometimes, the EU has been accused of developing a kind of neo-colonialism, but according to the new Strategy it is obvious that the main goal is to help those States to find their own path of development and stability for themselves.
