Summary/Abstract: Global processes have influenced the Central Asian region and exacerbated existing problems, although the impact of these processes has not been the same for all Central Asian states. The idea of creating a UN structure for Central Asia constituted a defining moment for the region. An understanding was reached that Central Asian countries faced common challenges and threats which, if left unaddressed, could cause tensions and become obstacles to their sustainable development. The positive image of the United Nations, considered by Central Asian states as an impartial body, able to create conditions conducive to finding mutually acceptable compromises and to support their implementation, was also a determining factor.
