It was the first time <strong>the president of South Korea had met with all five leaders of the Central Asia <\/strong>states at once.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result of the summit is the Seoul Declaration that serves as a foundation for advancing the Korea-Central Asia relationship and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koreaherald.com\/article\/10876001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adopting<\/a> a <strong>cooperation agenda for the next 30 years<\/strong>. The representatives agreed to hold the summit biennially, with the second event to take place in 2028 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/16\/silk-road-spirit-meets-supply-chains-at-korea-central-asia-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kazakhstan<\/a>. It was also decided that the consultations at various levels will be institutionalized to help identify and implement concrete projects.<\/p><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foremost on the summit agenda were discussions of practical economic cooperation. The 30-year cooperation plan established during the forum focuses on <strong>critical materials, energy and infrastructure among other concerns.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The declaration created at the forum, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koreatimes.co.kr\/foreignaffairs\/20260916\/korea-central-asia-to-chart-shared-path-at-inaugural-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stems<\/a> from a vice-ministerial-level dialogue that began nearly 20 years ago, emphasizes <strong>the importance of mutually beneficial value chains<\/strong>. South Korea wants to <strong>diversify its sources of critical materials<\/strong>, especially those used in the semiconductor and battery industries. Central Asian countries, abundant in said materials, want a larger role in manufacturing products from their sources. To achieve this, <strong>they need investment, technology and modernization<\/strong> of old Soviet-era infrastructure. Meanwhile, South Korea is known for its rapid economy growth, which is something Central Asia is trying to replicate.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Korean companies are already present in the region, specifically in the automotive and construction sectors. From 2021 to 2025, trade volume <strong>between South Korea and Central Asia increased by 90% to US$10 billion<\/strong>. Korean expertise in infrastructure, technology and manufacturing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koreaherald.com\/article\/10876001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complements<\/a> Central Asia\u2019s growing market, rich natural resources and young workforce. Korea also has very specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koreatimes.co.kr\/foreignaffairs\/20260916\/korea-central-asia-to-chart-shared-path-at-inaugural-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ties<\/a> to the region: Central Asia is home to the biggest Korean diaspora, as over 300\u00a0000 ethnic Koreans were displaced from Russia in 1937 by the Soviet regime.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from economic cooperation, the six leaders also stressed <strong>the importance of the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.yna.co.kr\/view\/AEN20260915003800315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>denuclearization<\/strong><\/a><strong> of the Korean peninsula<\/strong>, pledging to help establish long-lasting peace, fight crime and address security threats.<\/p><h2>Why is it important?<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooperation with South Korea is a great opportunity for Central Asia to <strong>modernize its economy<\/strong>. Korean engagement and influence can also <strong>bring <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/modeldiplomat.com\/conferences\/professional\/south-korea-central-asia-summit-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>stability<\/strong><\/a><strong> to the region<\/strong> by providing a partnership model different from those offered by other global actors.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an era when supply chains are showing increased vulnerability, <strong>Europe can <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/16\/silk-road-spirit-meets-supply-chains-at-korea-central-asia-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>benefit<\/strong><\/a><strong> as well<\/strong>: A transport and logistics chain stretching from Korea through Central Asia to Europe was among the proposals at the summit. The Middle Corridor \u2014 also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route \u2014 which extends from Central Asia, across the Caspian Sea toward Europe, has been attracting attention lately as an <strong>alternative to routes through Russia<\/strong>. For this reason, transport and the establishment of strong supply chains were focal points of the summit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: A Hall in\u00a0Deoksugung Palace complex,\u00a0Seoul.
