У Европейского Союза есть новая стратегия для Центральной Азии

У Европейского Союза есть новая стратегия для Центральной Азии. Стратегия была утверждена на заседании Совета по иностранным делам ЕС, состоявшемся в Брюсселе 17 июня. В заявлении говорится, что стратегия адаптирует политику ЕС к новым возможностям, появившимся в регионе.

В своих выводах Совет приветствует укрепление отношений между ЕС и Казахстаном, Кыргызской Республикой, Таджикистаном, Туркменистаном и Узбекистаном с момента принятия первой стратегии ЕС для Центральной Азии в 2007 году.

"Совет одобряет Совместное общение на тему «ЕС и Центральная Азия: новые возможности для более прочного партнерства» Верховного представителя и Европейской комиссии, которое вместе с выводами Совета обеспечивает новую политическую основу для взаимодействия ЕС со странами Центральной Азии в ближайшие годы. Новая стратегия направлена на содействие устойчивости, процветанию и региональному сотрудничеству в Центральной Азии.

Совет подчеркивает свою приверженность заключению и осуществлению амбициозных и взаимовыгодных соглашений о расширенном партнерстве и сотрудничестве (EPCA) с заинтересованными странами региона. Эти соглашения остаются краеугольным камнем взаимодействия ЕС с Центральной Азией. Совет повторяет, что сфера отношений ЕС связана с готовностью отдельных стран Центральной Азии проводить реформы и укреплять демократию, права человека, верховенство закона и независимость судебной власти, а также модернизировать и диверсифицировать экономику в том числе путем поддержки частного сектора, в частности малых и средних предприятий, в условиях свободной рыночной экономики.

Признавая стратегическую роль Центральной Азии в глобальных усилиях по продвижению евро-азиатских связей и подчеркивая, что эти усилия должны приносить пользу региону, Совет заявляет, что он ожидает расширения сотрудничества со странами Центральной Азии в целях содействия устойчивому, всеобъемлющему и нормальному развитию. Совет также подчеркивает совместную заинтересованность ЕС и стран Центральной Азии в активизации сотрудничества в целях содействия миру в Афганистане".

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
