The upcoming Central Asia-Republic of Korea Summit in Seoul will provide a more substantial economic focus for the C5+1 format. Key areas of discussion will include industrial modernization, infrastructure development, critical minerals, energy, workforce growth, and private sector involvement. To facilitate regular sectoral dialogue, identify joint initiatives, and develop priority projects, a dedicated consultative mechanism of industry ministers will be established.
This will enable Central Asian countries to align their national industrial priorities with the technological capabilities and investment potential of the Republic of Korea at a specific production chain level. Technology, infrastructure, financing, and markets will be integrated within an cohesive framework for implementing major joint projects.
The model's potential is especially significant for Uzbekistan. The relationship between Tashkent and Seoul has been classified as a Special Strategic Partnership since 2019, with Korean direct investments steadily increasing.
