This article analyzes the current stage of regional integration processes in Central Asia, with particular emphasis on the role and significance of the Consultative Meetings of the Heads of State of Central Asia. These meetings are considered as a flexible and informal mechanism for promoting regional cooperation, enhancing political dialogue, expanding economic interaction, and strengthening regional security. The study concludes that this format plays a significant role in building mutual trust, aligning national interests, and shaping a sustainable model of regional integration in Central Asia.
