The event agenda includes strengthening regional cooperation in Central Asia and implementing joint projects and initiatives in priority areas. Participants also plan to exchange views on key issues of regional and international politics.

A significant package of multilateral documents is expected to be adopted following the Consultative Meeting.

The initiative to hold regular consultative meetings of the heads of Central Asian states was proposed by Uzbekistan’s leader in September 2017 at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly.

During Uzbekistan’s chairmanship in this format, more than 20 major events covering various areas of cooperation have been held.
