Репост из: Rybar in English
🇰🇿🇺🇸 A meeting was held in Samarkand in the C5+1 format - a dialogue on solving the “common” problems of the United States and five Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). Samantha Power pleased the conference participants with another USAID financial package - $14.3 million will be allocated to expand cooperation.
▪️ Among the declared priority areas is currently fashionable “green” energy. Moreover, if a couple of years ago USAID was categorically against the construction of a nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan, today they are ready to consider options. But on one condition: the station should not be built by Russia. However, the Kazakh authorities abandoned the American project due to its unprofitability: the proposed model raises too many questions.
▪️ Another area for which Kazakhstan’s Western partners generously allocate funds is media literacy and countering information threats. In fact, behind the beautiful words lies the funding of journalists and human rights activists in order to promote the necessary (often anti-Russian) narratives.
🔻 The representative office of the US Agency for International Development in Kazakhstan can rightfully be considered a springboard for anti-Russian activities in Central Asia. And it is significant that the scale of funding is growing: if last year about 15 million dollars were allocated for projects, the amount of grants this year is already approaching 50 million.
