The S7+ is a proposed next-generation regional economic partnership, which brings together Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to unlock one of the world's most strategically significant regions.At its core, S7+ reflects a growing recognition that Central Asia sits at the crossroads of global competition — home to vast reserves of critical minerals, key transit routes between East and West, and significant untapped economic potential. The initiative focuses on strengthening regional cooperation to address shared challenges including water scarcity, energy deficits, and limited market access, while building new trade corridors connecting the region to Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific.
