C5+1 Nations Unite to Preserve Central Asia’s Cultural Heritage Over Next Decade
Today marks a significant milestone as the C5+1 diplomatic platform celebrates its tenth anniversary. In a joint statement, the participating countries - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and the USA - have outlined ambitious plans to strengthen cultural heritage cooperation.
The countries aim to foster museum collaboration, with plans to organize exhibitions and displays showcasing cultural treasures from each nation. Additionally, they will develop shared positions at international forums to protect and preserve cultural heritage. Beyond the C5+1 countries, Germany and Switzerland are also involved in these efforts to bolster cooperation in cultural heritage preservation.
Institutional partnerships and expert exchanges will be expanded, covering various fields related to cultural heritage preservation. The countries also intend to integrate cultural heritage into economic development goals. This includes expanding English-language education to boost tourism and creative industries.
To combat illicit trafficking of cultural property, the countries will strengthen information exchange among law enforcement, customs, and border control agencies. They also plan to establish regional networks to enhance transparency in the art market.
The C5+1 countries, along with Germany and Switzerland, recognize the unique cultural heritage of each nation and their collective contributions to human civilization. By supporting the participation of all six nations in the Council of National Museums and implementing these collaborative initiatives, they strive to protect and promote their shared cultural legacy for future generations.
