Abstract

This article provides a concise overview of the Silk Road restoration concepts in Central Asia, outlining the multifaceted strategies aimed at revitalizing the historic trade routes that connected the East and West. The restoration efforts encompass infrastructure development, cultural heritage preservation, tourism promotion, cross-border cooperation, technological integration, educational initiatives, and environmental conservation. The goal is to reconnect the Silk Road, fostering economic development, cultural exchange, and sustainable practices in the region. This article highlights the significance of Central Asia as a crossroads for civilizations and emphasizes the comprehensive approach undertaken to revive and preserve the historical legacy of the Silk Road.

The Silk Road restoration concepts in Central Asia refer to various initiatives and ideas aimed at reviving and preserving the historical Silk Road trade routes that traversed the region. The Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes connecting the East and West, facilitating the exchange of goods, cultures, and ideas between different civilizations. Central Asia played a crucial role as a crossroads for these trade routes.

Secondly, since the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century, Silk Road research centers began to emerge in developed countries of the world. Such centers play an important role in the foreign policies of various countries and also serve as think tanks that help guide the international relations of certain countries. As a result of the scientific conclusions they put forward, the foreign policy and economic strategy of the main actors in relation to the countries of the Silk Road began to take shape. These issues are observed in the foreign policy of the United States, Russia, China, Japan and other countries in relation to the countries of Central Asia. However, some research centers review tendentious and insufficiently verified analytical materials on the foreign and domestic policies of the countries of Central Asia. Based on this, it is advisable to strengthen the potential of research centers in Uzbekistan, study world experience in this regard, further develop international cooperation, publish more analytical materials about the processes taking place in the country, and create such research centers in regions of Uzbekistan with strong scientific potential.
