English Translation: 20/13780: Motion for a German Central Asia Strategy – Towards a New Partnership for the 21st Century (PDF)
Date: 2024-11-14 11:00
Source: Bundestag (German Parliament)
Document Type: Motion
Summary:
The motion calls for the German government to develop a comprehensive Central Asia strategy. The strategy should focus on the following four pillars:
- Political cooperation: Strengthening political dialogue and cooperation with the countries of Central Asia on issues such as security, human rights, and trade.
- Economic cooperation: Expanding economic ties with Central Asia, including trade, investment, and infrastructure development.
- Development cooperation: Supporting sustainable development in Central Asia, including in areas such as education, health, and governance.
- Cultural cooperation: Promoting cultural exchanges and understanding between Germany and the countries of Central Asia.
The motion argues that a comprehensive Central Asia strategy is necessary to address the challenges and opportunities in the region. Central Asia is a strategically important region that is home to nearly 70 million people. The region is also rich in natural resources, including oil, gas, and minerals. However, Central Asia is also facing a number of challenges, including poverty, unemployment, and environmental degradation.
The motion argues that a German Central Asia strategy can help to address these challenges and promote stability and prosperity in the region. The strategy should be based on a long-term commitment to the region and should be developed in close cooperation with the countries of Central Asia.
Background:
Germany has a long history of engagement with Central Asia. In recent years, Germany has provided financial and technical assistance to the region, and has also played a role in promoting peace and stability. However, there is currently no comprehensive German Central Asia strategy.
Implications:
The motion has the potential to significantly increase German engagement with Central Asia. If adopted, the motion would require the government to develop a comprehensive strategy that would guide its activities in the region. The strategy would likely focus on a range of issues, including political, economic, and development cooperation.
Additional Information:
The motion was submitted by a group of members of the Bundestag from different political parties. The motion is currently being debated in the Bundestag.
