ABSTRACT
Central Asia is decisively one of the most significant regions in the
world that makes a valuable contribution to Eurasian economic
cooperation. The region is affluent with natural and energy resources
that arouse the interest and desire for collaboration among the
neighbors and generally, rest of the world. Georgia and the Central
Asian republics are connected by historical liaison, starting from the
ancient Silk Road. Although the multilateral relations have improved
significantly over the years, much remains to be undertaken. For this
region, Georgia is a gateway to connect with the Western world. On
the other hand, Central Asia is also in Georgian interest, that allows
the country to be involved in regional transportation projects, as well
as increase its access to Asian markets. The aim of the following
paper is to analyze economic relationships between Georgia and
Central Asian countries in terms of foreign trade, tourism, foreign
direct investments and remittances, detailed by countries.
Additionally, the study pays attention to future collaboration
perspectives and priority areas between the countries. This
incorporates the partnership in such strategic spheres, as trade,
energy, transport, tourism and infrastructure. The analysis of these
issues is crucial since the economic intimacies between the given
countries will contribute to deepening cooperation between the
nations of the region and push Eurasian economic cooperation ahead.
