Today, a historic opportunity has been created for Central Asia to transition from competition to joint promotion and to establish a common investment brand for the region. Through individual competition with each other, we can attract millions in investments. By jointly recognizing Central Asia as a unified region, we open the door to billions in investments.
— Ravshanbek Sabirov, Head of the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic
