 A big question mark. We have seen that also in the countries of this area there were some dramatic developments like in Kyrgyzstan where there were two uprising in five years and two presidents were changed through popular uprising. So it's also very dramatic development. So the issue of security and stability is extremely important for this area. And I think this is being watched very closely from all the world's capitals and also international organizations like the Shanghai Organization, the NATO and the United Nations. So I think it's an area which is to be really discussed and pay more attention to. With this I will end my short introduction and I have the pleasure to give the floor to the president of Kyrgyzstan, Mrs. Rosa Atunbaiba. It's on, right? It's on. Dear friends, participants of this round table on Central Asia. I was inspired by the last statement of Austrian foreign minister that Central Asians get more and more attention. And especially right after this spring, the current incumbent chairman of the OEC, the Lithuanian foreign minister, he has announced that the attention of the OEC moved shifted from the Balkans to Central Asia. And we do realize that it is because of resources of Central Asia, not just the mineral but human resources also. We are a literate part of the world. We have finished the Soviet period with about 98-99% of literacy. The higher education didn't worsen too much. We have a lot of new universities. We got freedom to travel and in spite of all the close new spaces after the collapse of the USSR, our people go to many countries around the world. They travel, they work, they learn about the world. And certainly I must point out that mineral resources are the most attractive what the world has found in our part of the world. Even such a small example like electricity power, which for example Uzbekistan fits with Afghanistan, Kabul, they send hydro power to Kabul. Kabul purchased this for 9 cents per kilowatt hour. If all built our transmission lines from Kyrgyzstan via Tajikistan and it will go to Afghanistan, all our neighboring countries, China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, each of them, they badly need today and quite a big amounts hydro power. And that's the richness which we have two countries, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in this part of the world. We collect all the water in our highest mountains which are about more than 7000 meters above level of sea. And we fit with the water, big areas, valleys of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and they grow those 3 million tons of cotton which Uzbekistan sells on the world markets. So the region is full of mineral resources. Even my country which is incomparable for example with Kazakhstan or Turkmenistan, we have quite a serious deposits of gold and with the high prices on gold these days in Kyrgyzstan there is under progress the gold mining with the Canadian company, American Canadian in fact company. This is the 700 tons of gold around Isekul. We have other very attractive deposits of gold and we do believe that with this high price on gold we became one day self-sufficient country. We have deposits of other very important minerals will be self-sufficient regarding coal and again hydro power energy, this is the most important. Two wings of our economy, hydro energy and mining, those are very important for my country. But when you in Europe are talking only about the mineral resources please do not forget in Central Asia there are nations, very ancient people are living for centuries and centuries on this great silk road. My nation yes has revolted over the last 10 years to presence run away from my country. The last uprising was April 7th of 2010. By Kiev that was the President's name he has shot 92 people from the windows of the White House. Nobody noticed what's happened in Kyrgyzstan. In half a year time it took place in Northern Africa and Middle East. Slowly European countries started to recognize that it is unacceptable, it is outrageous that those dictators they shoot their nation. Nobody said right absolutely politically defined stuff about Kyrgyz events even today. In Deville we have witnessed that Russian President joined to the G8, communicate that Gaddafi is not right. It's happened in my country April 7th 2010. My country since that time is on the track of democratic developments. We couldn't afford those two corrupt regimes. In Kyrgyzstan straight after the 7th of April we took the power. Provisional government has promised to introduce a new constitution in 3 months, in 6 months introduce to conduct the parliament elections. We have done this. It is not a deseret cause which we witness now in other parts of the world. In 3 months we have introduced new constitution with the parliamentary governance. In half a year the European community via OEC, via European Union's observers they have stated that was fair, open elections in Kyrgyzstan ever done. And as a result we have the parliament, we have the governments. We are exercising today the parliamentary governance in my country. It's very difficult, it's not an easy thirdly power that you should listen all the opposition people. The former Minister of Finance today is the leader of the opposition committee on budget and finance. She knows what is my salary, how much government views to fit the president, the prime minister and so on. But everything is open today. We have open press, we have strong civil society and this is again total opposite to those places where all of us watch with quite concern. Our 5,000 NGOs, they are very such a very strong people on our political map. Mass media works bravely to bring to the light all the such a dark business dealings of either they are MPs or they are the government members. So this is what we are doing and the most important was to fight corruption. Corruption is a serious disease for everyone, developing countries and especially for us, for fragile new countries. We celebrate 20 years of our independence this year. 20 years for Kyrgyzstan it was quite a serious transition. We stuck somewhere in transition. We didn't achieve such a progress like in Kazakhstan, in Russia, but we don't have a right to live like today. We live among those dynamically developing countries like China, Russia and Kazakhstan and we do hope that one day we will achieve certainly good success. Today we are fighting against corruption. My country is member of AITI program. Only Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan we are the compliant countries. Mining companies in my country report to the public how much they pay to the budget and 46 companies they are learning about this serious auditing. For the first time in 20 years six big energy companies are under audit, international audit. USAID helps us to pay for the work of those companies. And we do hope that in those energy companies where the losses count up to 45% would you imagine? Half of the energy produced by those energy companies been stolen in the past. Today they are coming down and a lot of measures and actions has been done. The losses today just about 29, 30% and we do hope that those losses will decrease over the years. We want to put this AITI mechanism, this is transparency in mining mechanism, to put this in energy sector. And we are learning, we are doing many things with this regard. Manas transit centre as you know, we have American base in Kyrgyzstan. And we want also to put mechanism of transparency there because we get 60 million dollars for rent. We want to get more money to supply the fuel to this transit centre. And again very serious mechanism of transparency will be put over there. We have done some innovation. We have small budget of my country. We are really not very successful economically successful developing country. But still this is great importance to follow how efficiently ministries use this budget. We have set up the public oversight boards in every ministry. They look at what is the efficiency of the work at every ministry. In other words I want to tell you that regardless of those very dramatic political events in my country. We look forward. We want to escape from this ashamed 164th place in transparency list internationalist. We want to go up. We want to be among the civilized developed countries. Thank you. Thank you. This is Otun Baeva for your very passionate and interesting talk. We in Russia we have been following with a lot of compassion and interest what was going on in Kyrgyzstan the last year. And we are really very happy that now the situation has calmed down. And there is strong hope also in Moscow that under your presidency and in those new conditions Kyrgyzstan will finally get the kind of government it deserves. For as you may know we in Russia feel in a quite special way towards the former Soviet republics. We used to be one country and this approach I think is still very much there. We don't feel worlds apart. We rather feel that we are part of the same world of the same area and of the same history. So we wish you a lot of success. We have here on the panel two high representatives of the governments of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. I would like to present you Mr. Yerebol Orun Baev who is the deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan and I would like to give him the floor. Kazakhstan is the country which shows the highest rate of development in this area and some would say in the whole of Eurasia it has very successful economic reforms. Now in Russia we have started to study Kazakhstan economic reforms and to take kind of as an example for us. So please you have the floor. The only thing I would like all the speakers to stick to maximum seven minutes so that we have the opportunity later to take some questions from the floor. Please Mr. Orun Baev. Thank you very much. I would like to be short. Going back to the topic you raised what are Central Asian strategies in today's new reality. I think to answer this very interesting question first we should identify on what stage and where Central Asia is now. What challenges this region is facing and what issues are prevailing in this region. And I would like to approach this topic through economic perspective. First of all Central Asian region is far and away from the major economic centers of the world. We know that there are three big centers North America Europe and Southeast Asia. And now and compared to the centers this region is in remote area. It's quite unstable and very volatile region given proximity of Afghanistan which is the world issue not only this region and this region is very neighbor to Afghanistan. There are all issues coming from this country especially terrorism and drug trafficking. It's different level of the development of the countries in the region. If we take five Central Asian countries it's a great variety in terms of the development. So GDP per capita in Kyrgyzstan in Uzbekistan is about one thousand. I'm telling roughly in Turkmenistan and in Kazakhstan it's more bigger. In Kazakhstan it's about nine thousand. In Turkmenistan it's about six thousand. So this is a big gap in the development. There is a big problem of the poverty which is during the collapse after the collapse of the Soviet Union and after this twenty years transition period somehow prevailed and not all countries of the region manage successfully to address the social issue of poverty and even distribution of the wealth. Very low value edit economic activities which end up in very not very diversified expert of these countries. Mainly it's commodity type as the president of Kyrgyzstan mentioned it's some kind of the row extracting commodity or very low edit value such as cotton or wheat or other type of the commodities. Not very developed I would say developed human capital but some in some way obsolete. A lot of them modernization is needed to bring it to the world standards. Based on these issues and I raised just some of them which I think is very important but I am pretty sure that there are many others of them especially in the context of each country in the region. I think it's possible to answer the question what will be the best strategy for the Central Asia. I would say that the major goal of all Central Asian republics countries should be goal of the integration to the global economy and it should be two dimensional. First it should be integration in the region which is very important because size of the economy matters in this respect for the investors and for the attracting foreign direct investments and promotion investments and integration to the world economy especially given that such a big market of the Russian Federation and the China is a neighbor of this region and potentially they are very fast growing economies. In this regard infrastructure development especially transport and different types of the connectivity is very important and crucial for the integration. In Kazakhstan together with our neighboring countries we are implementing a very big project. It's highway from the West China to the West Europe and the length of this highway is about 8,000 kilometers and Kazakhstan covers about 4,000 kilometers of this highway. World Bank, Asian Development Bank and other multinationals financing is one of the biggest project now currently implemented in the world. It led to bring goods from the east part of the China to the west part of the Europe in 10 days compared to the 40 days by sea. So it's very efficient at least in terms of the time and we will try to do everything to make it efficient in terms of the cost of the delivery. Human development is also very important issue and Mr. Madaret raised this issue and especially in terms of the vocational and training and technical education, modernization of the tertiary education and preschool education is also very important. And finally I think what is important for all countries of the region is very well developed and clear strategy of the promotion of the investments. I think this is very very important because investments spur development of the economy and then government, it's role of the government to make sure that this is development evenly distributed in the society. Thank you Mr. Oranbaev. I think it enlarges our image of the strategies you are discussing in order to be successful in your country, in your area. Now I have the pleasure to give the floor to Mr. Japarev, who is deputy prime minister of the government of Turkmenistan. Thank you very much. Chair, Excellencies, fellow participants, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to greet you on behalf of Turkmenistan and thank you for the opportunity to speak to such a high level international forum. I also thank the organizers for the excellent job they have done in putting this event together and may also wish you fellow participants all the best during the event. We are sure that given the representative nature of this Vienna forum, judging by those in attendance, there should be considerable prospects and opportunities for business like exchange of views. Ladies and gentlemen, Turkmenistan is an independent, neutral and dynamically developing country which has a tremendous amount of natural wealth and a fairly developed production, productive center as well as infrastructure and human potential. Given the far-sighted reform policies that have been instituted by the president of Turkmenistan, we have managed to considerably step up the part that we play in international affairs. We have extended the balance of cooperation with other countries in the world. The dynamic development in our country and the economy in particular has been determined in large part by the fact that there has been a balance strong between market mechanisms and very strong government regulations as well as targeted programming. We pursue large scale performance programs of some of the main programs that we are pursuing are for social and economic development that would range from 2011 to 2013. Besides that, there are other programs in the works as well, for example the World Development Programme. There is another one for industrial production and then there are programs that are targeting more specific regional development as well as sectoral programs. All of this has enabled us to mobilize the construction sector, which now ranks second in terms of its importance overall. In the industry, we have seen its contribution to GDP increasing. Turkmenistan, of course, though we look at all of the sectors, is a resort rich country. We cover all our own needs in oil and gas and electric power. In fact, we export considerable surplus and we are certainly prepared to explore opportunities to do that on an even larger scale. At present, we are exporting power to Kazakhstan, Iran, Turkey and we are additionally expanding capabilities for electric power generation and power distribution to Afghanistan. Of course, for such a project we have been set up. We have had some support. We are providing favorable prices, preferential prices to Afghanistan. In addition, when the economic crisis was hitting its peak, we ourselves tried to activate all beings available for us to step up exports of natural gas. As a result, we have brought new facilities into operation. We are also looking into pipelines that would be Turkmenistan or the way food to China. Another line would travel via Iran and we are also actively involved in preparing the way for a Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan project that will terminate in India. We see that as a means of affording considerable assistance to our neighboring countries and we believe that this will all contribute towards economic development in Afghanistan and perhaps make its mark towards reestablishing peace in the region. Turning to the economic situation per se, even during the height of the crisis in 2010, we nevertheless maintained positive growth rates of 6.1 in particular in 2010. We actually had a 9.2% figure at the best point. This year we anticipate that we might even hit a 14% growth figure for the GDP. Even the IMF mission has been impressed. The budget of a recent year has been proficient as opposed to deficitary and this is to be tried that can be tried from the balance payments. The budget, thereby covering the profit enables us to build our international currency. We serve as well as building on the stabilization fund which we set up when the crisis struck. In terms of public expenditure, I would say that 75% of the line share of course goes into social programs, public spending. That also covers capital investment in the social sphere. Our neutral status and the political stability of Turkmenistan to most attractive for investors and enable us to conclude beneficial economic arrangement. I feel that there are good prospects for cooperation between Turkmenistan and the countries of the European Union. The stand-up region as well could be collaborating with us and we could see our way towards further developing such sectors as energy, the chemical sector, light and food industry. We act for business, machine, engineering, instruments, manufacturers, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, transport, tourism and sports and we think that there is quite a lot of scope for further development in the educational and health spheres. We are open to cooperation and may I just say that I would wish all of the participants here at the World Economic Forum every success in what they have said. Thank you. I think it was very good to hear that your country is doing so well, 14% of rise of GNP per year. It's a very, very high figure. I think only Singapore is doing better. This year it will be 15.5% in Singapore. Well, now I think we have heard the speakers from the Central Asian countries now. I would like to give the floor to speakers who are also part of the picture because they work in this area. But they have an experience of also people who work with Central Asia from the outside world and I would like to give first the floor to Pierre Morel, a special representative of the EU for Central Asia. I only have one wish. For the last three speakers, I would like to leave it to you to five minutes so that your remarks and I hope that we'll have a bit of time at the very end of the session. Please Pierre. Thank you Alexi for giving me this opportunity to attend this excellent meeting. I will focus my comments on three aspects and we have to get right down to the main part. First, the emerging risks. We have to stress something that's already mentioned and not just the problem with Afghanistan as a neighbour and all the uncertainties in Afghanistan. We don't necessarily have to be pessimistic but it does mean that we have to be very cautious. Central Asia is stable but fragile and I think that's a big part of the security problem because we also have to ask ourselves about the emerging risks and the main review is trafficking in drugs. We talk about it but we don't yet really know how big the risks and consequences of that are here in the United Nations. You have an excellent organisation where the organisation against drugs and crime and I think it's some figures on the more than part about 95 tons of heroin every year. Ten are used on site. The rest are Russia mainly and the Russians, which you see, notes that the number of dead due to drug consumption amongst about 30,000 a year. So we have a real regional surge and super regional as well because it's also reaching Europe. So the resource is still not enough. Give me another figure. In 2000, there were 1614 AIDS cases in Central Asia and now we have about 35,000. These are the figures of the UN office. Unfortunately, we have to mention this, not to say that it's a disaster but so that we can find the right response. One of the answers that the EU is working on is border control. We call the integral border management. That means we have to take the young countries whose governmental experience is still young and we have to allow them to consolidate and integrate the various dimensions of border management with respect to the international threats. There is one thing that's really important and here we have to work together. That was the first factor that I wanted to mention. The second aspect is the political transition, the political transitions going on in those Chinese with what President Otumbaya mentioned, what's going on in the Middle East and North Africa. We saw that corruption meant to lend to corruption. So the public debate is one way of using the rule of law is one way of reducing tolerance for corruption. I'm not trying to say that it's only in that region to look at international enterprises. They now have a chain of think officers that didn't exist 10 years ago. So it concerns everyone. But it's in the young states that it's a major threat. So we have to work on a rule of law but that doesn't mean that we have to go there and say this is our model, follow our model. No, in order to achieve stability in those countries with their background and their history, it's obvious that we have to consolidate the rule of law in those countries. And with the experience of Kyrgyzstan and that President Otumbaya mentioned as well, we have the lesson to learn. There's no model that fits all Kyrgyzstan is facing all kinds of troubles and it's being very courageous here and I'd like to be a tribute to the work done by President Otumbaya and his team because the conditions are tragic, disastrous, but there's no model that can be imported. We have to be close to them, support them regularly, not once for all and not going there once in a while but we have to back them up continuously. That's the lesson we can learn from that. My second point concerns regional cooperation. The five states of Central Asia once again find their identity again and their building in the right direction. Their identity again and their building up again after a long history and complex transitions and options. Each one of them wants to have their own logic. They're just talking about the Kyrgyzstan and Kyrgyzstan and the same is true for Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and this is quite normal. Everyone wants to have their own way, but at the same time the challenges of regional cooperation can only be solved through regional cooperation. The progress in the energy field has been mentioned. The gas pipeline China and Uzbekistan, on the other hand the regional cooperation has been done in the near future. Trans-Caspian pipeline and that's another form of regional cooperation that's not easy in the hydro power because the issue of water is one of the most difficult ones but from there once again in the field of power we can walk step by step and see and experience all countries of Central Asia to work better together and I think apart from the security that I've mentioned in the energy field and the energy sheet in the example of the transport already mentioned here will be the transport through by a modern rail rather than by sea is an excellent example. But now we have this point of my view that's an excellent example. Now education, there's still a lot to be done there, Central Asia. It is going to be its model step by step. It will be its model not ours imposed on them, but we can and must contribute. Thank you. Thank you, Pierre. It was a pleasure. And now I give the floor to Mr. Victor Chu who is the Chairman of the Eastern Investment Group from Hong Kong and who will share with us his experience in working in Central Asia and making investments in Central Asia. Thank you very much Chairman. I should say that First Eastern is a big investor in China. We have invested over the last 25 years in 150 investments including 10 financial institutions. Many of my investing companies are keenly interested in Central Asia regions, some of which are already doing business and lending into the region. So of course as a region, this is something of enormous interest to us. But I thought I should pick up from the last distinguished speakers appeal for regional cooperation and indeed regional partnership. Because I think these are the two keys which will allow the Central Asian economies to accelerate the pace of the reform and development. If the BRICS countries were the darling of the investment world in the last 20 years, I have no doubt that despite the risks and the security concern that there's every chance of Central Asia of becoming the darling of the investment world in the next 20 years. Because the fundamentals, the potentials out there and they can also learn from the experience how China, Russia and indeed other emerging economies in the last 20 years have set about their particular reform program. As an investor, I would like to see the clarity in regulations, particularly for foreign investments. I would like to see that short of a full development of rule of law as we understand them in Europe, that government takes the lead in helping a foreign investor in setting up, in rolling out and also in terms of when we run into trouble and we always run into trouble, that government plays a part in helping us to find a satisfactory solution. I think in terms of transparency and development of the rule of law, this is a long-term process. We can't expect a newly emerging economy to achieve Rome in one day. But so long as there's a positive and ongoing commitment from the host government to do that, I think investors will find it very attractive. I also like to give a plug to the Hong Kong and the Vienna capital market for purposes of the Central Asia economies. I think the Hong Kong market sits in the middle of the emerging Chinese market. We have been very successful in bringing Chinese companies onto the Hong Kong exchange. I was instrumental in developing this scheme called 8 shares in 1991. And since 1993, we have listed more than 100 Chinese companies, fundamentally different from the Western companies that we know in those days, and we have raised over 200 billion in that process. And more recently, we have started listing Russian companies on the Hong Kong market from other emerging and frontier markets as well. So certainly, Hong Kong market welcomes and embraces the Central Asian investors coming here. And Vienna, of course, being the centre in this part of the world, will also have a very useful role to play. So maybe Hong Kong and Vienna really should think about how to synergise this particular potential, forming investment funds listed in both Vienna and Hong Kong to tap new capital. The last point I want to mention is the offshore R&B market that has been developed in Hong Kong with huge liquidity in that market. But their very little product is a very cheap way of financing for companies from Central Asia region who are already doing business in China. The interest rate is extremely low and that, if you are already setting trade investment in China in R&B, that would be a very useful market to take a look. So I will check myself in five minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chu. I think you just confirmed the impression we also get in Moscow that China is more and more interested in this area. I find a lot of Chinese businessmen, a lot of Chinese investors in the capitals of those republics, but Russia is also present. And I would like to give the floor to Mr. Finneganov, who is the chairman of the Eurasian Development Bank. Mr. Finneganov, please. Thank you very much. Just to comment briefly about the sort of integration that is occurring in this Central Asian region, we are a development institute that was set up to foster cooperation and integration. In this area, of course, we are closely following the economic policies that were emerging. It is clear to us, as it may be to other participants, that we are talking about a significant area and a large scale. And this should prove attractive to investors more so than other closed markets in as much as the objective economic realities are that there are new markets opening new prospects for cooperation. In Central Asia, the first project that we set up in the CIS was designed to preserve some of these integration ties that had historically a region in the region. And I'm not talking just about the Soviet area, but I'm talking all the way back in the time of the Great Silk Road. Something was put off, something emerged from this. And we have seen that there are – there is a basis that we can build on, that this has been able to accommodate a tremendous traffic in goods. We've also seen electoral generation schemes that feed into the market. And that, too, is a contributing factor, although I have to admit that there is a lot to do by way of limiting losses. And so other integration projects for the same region are similarly being pursued. President Nassar Baidov has alluded to this. He will be heading the Central Asian Economic Union Initiative and will be pursuing consultations with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, where they are also talking about how to ensure interactions with the region, all of this, to assist in having cooperation and integration emerges as a result of policy. I don't see the region developing without this. What has proved successful so far has been, of course, first of all the Customs Union, which involves our country, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan and Belarus. I hear that Kyrgyzstan is also interested possibly in joining. And that does indicate that this Customs Union might even extend further in the region. I'd like to say that, of course, there are serious challenges to economic development in the region. There has to be regional integration and innovation to further develop cooperation and integration. The main thing is to maintain and further develop the regional infrastructure. That's not only with regard to power grids or power transport or regulations. The ability to set up industrial clusters in agro-business, in the mining and energy sectors, which could lend a further boost to developing each and every country in the region, not to mention the region as a whole. So that is why we as a development bank are working in this area and we're hoping that investors will back us. Indeed, it's on their behalf that we will set up in order to facilitate business in the region. I can only suggest that we make further headway along these lines that we continue to focus on cooperation. We have three minutes left actually, so we can take either two questions from the floor, if the answers will be by one minute, or one question from the floor, please. Who would like to? Or any considerations maybe? Yes, please, welcome. Present yourself, please. We need a microphone, please. Please, use the microphone, please. Azerbaijan, which was a challenge in itself because of the logistics and the licensing and the whole process. But I must say, we are now having a very successful business there and we're being well supported by the government. Being in Azerbaijan, we are now looking at the likes of Turkmenistan, where we have relationships with some of the charitable organizations in Dubai. And we're certainly looking at places like Kyrgyzstan and we're also looking at now opening an office in Russia. I think my question is at the moment, we have seen the Arab Spring and it's been quite serious, one of the reasons why we started to look into Central Asia. However, we've already seen some problems developing in Azerbaijan with the youth there and some disenfranchising of the local population, starting to feel a little bit envious that there are foreign companies coming in and perhaps they feel as if we're taking the wealth away and taking it back to our countries. Can I sort of ask, certainly maybe the Turkmenistan and maybe Madam President, do you feel that there is the potential for an Arab Spring within your own countries? That could be something that is a concern for me as a potential investor moving forward from our entry into Azerbaijan, which at the moment has been quite successful. But we still see that the Armenian problem is there and people are a little bit nervous about making further and further larger investments. Thank you. Who would like to answer this? Not the easiest question, actually, you're asking. You probably would like to some easier questions. It's very complicated what you're talking about. So, anyone? No, I would... Please. There's something there. We badly need investment and we want to get more investment, solid investment, fair investment, social responsible investment. This is very important when people there, they feel that they will benefit also from such investment. So, I think what is the most important, what we are doing, people who participate in the government, they are not just outsiders watching what government is doing. They are judging also. They have their representatives in the parliament. If something wrong, immediately you get feedback from the parliament's tribune. So, I think what we are doing, we are on the right track. We are open democracy and the most serious debates now going within the parliament, not on the streets. We are open to all those challenges. And I'm sure that this is only a way to govern people. So, we are not afraid of big and small size of uprisings. Now, parliamentary governments, we do consider this is quite an optimal bearing in mind that that was the historical root in my country also. Well, thank you very much, Mr. President. I think we'll call it a day with the feeling that there are some achievements and a good hope for the region of Central Asia. Thank you very much.
