Abstract

The Ferghana Valley, due to its geostrategic position, is characterized by its unique geographical location, geopolitical importance, energy and human resources, plays a key role in ensuring sustainable development in Central Asia. However, this region has been viewed for many years through the prism of challenges and threats to regional security. Meanwhile, the creation of a favourable atmosphere and positive dynamics of regional cooperation not only prevents the emergence of any serious conflicts, but, on the contrary, open up huge opportunities to turn the Ferghana Valley into a growth point for the entire Central Asia.
