# ![@thetimesoca Avatar](https://lunarcrush.com/gi/w:26/cr:twitter::1735004628893208576.png) @thetimesoca The Times of Central Asia

Several significant developments are happening in Central Asia, including a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan that reduces corridor risk and boosts westbound trade, and the US and Turkmenistan cautiously deepening ties through energy security and digital projects. Additionally, Central Asian countries are making a bold showing at the Osaka Expo 2025, highlighting their culture, identity, and future ambitions. Meanwhile, economic complexities and challenges, such as labor migration and dependence on Moscow, continue to impact the region.
