The article discusses the role and importance of regional trade and economic cooperation of Uzbekistan with the countries of Central Asia in modern conditions. The necessity of further deepening of the cooperation in order to increase the competitiveness of national producers, ensure sustainable economic growth and reduce poverty is emphasized. The geographical location and remoteness from the main centers of the world market, the similarities of customs, mentality, tastes and preferences of the population of the countries of the region, awareness of the legislation of neighboring countries in the field of foreign trade, logistics, production management reinforce significance of the problem of further deepening of trade and economic cooperation between the countries of the region. The reforms carried out in Uzbekistan in recent years, significant liberalization of the foreign trade regime and the implementation of a new open, good-neighborly and friendly policy with neighboring countries, enshrined in the Action Strategy for the five priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017 - 2021, are reflected in the dynamic development of trade and economic cooperation of Uzbekistan with the states of the region. However, there are significant unrealized potentials in this area. In order to implement tthese potentials, the article proposes measures to reform customs services, suggests initiatives to simplify trade procedures, create various forms of international special economic zones, form a common market for agricultural products, and make conditions for building regional agricultural-food clusters. According to the author's views, the implementation of suggested measures will become important factor to reduce transport expenditure in the cost of goods, expand market capacity and achieve economies of scale, diversify choices of raw materials, form competitive commodity markets in the region and reduce price volatility on them. All this, in turn, will lead to increase in the attractiveness of the regional market for foreign investment, growth of export potential and more efficient use of the advantages of the international labor division and international trade.
Since Chile joined APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) in November 1994, great opportunities have opened up for the expansion of its international economic relations in the Asia-Pacific. Participation in this body represents a new diplomatic experience that is based on the principle of open regionalism within which the country is inscribed. On this basis, this paper examines the formulation of Chile's multilateral policy in the economic forums of the region, the situation of national politics in each of them, and the likely evolution scenarios of the Chilean position. ; A partir de la incorporación de Chile a APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) en noviembre de 1994, se han abierto grandes oportunidades para la expansión de sus relaciones económicas internacionales en el Asia-Pacífico. La participación en este organismo representa una experiencia diplomática nueva que se apoya en el principio de regionalismo abierto dentro del cual el país se inscribe. Partiendo de esta base, en el presente trabajo se examinan la formulación de la política multilateral de Chile en los foros económicos de la región, la situación de la política nacional en cada uno de ellos y los escenarios de evolución probables del posicionamiento chileno.
Las relaciones economicas de Asia Pacifico con America Latina y el Caribe han progresado bastante en las ultimas decadas, y especialmente en la de los anos noventa cobraron impulso con varios paises de la Comunidad Andina. Sin embargo, los vinculos comerciales y de inversion son aun incipientes, por comparacion no solo con los que cada una de las dos partes mantienen con otras regiones del mundo sino tambien con la importante ayuda economica que algunos paises asiaticos vienen proporcionando a la region desde buen tiempo atras.

The authors argue that Russian-Chinese rapprochement is a fundamental feature of the current changing system of international relations. The two countries are effectively enabling each other to conduct independent foreign policies often in direct opposition to the West. There is a degree of complementarity between the two sides withRussiahaving comparative advantage in the military, intelligence and diplomatic fields andChinabeing an economic superpower. The region ofCentral Asiawhich, as some Western authors have expected, could become the hotpoint of the Russian Chinese rivalry. Yet in reality it became the cradle of the two countries' cooperation which is now affecting a wide range of international issues. Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has emerged as the main platform for Russian-Chinese cooperation inCentral Asia. AfterIndiaandPakistanjoined the SCO in 2017 it is evolving into a mechanism of Russian Chinese cooperation not only inCentral Asiabut in the Indo Pacific as a whole. The Korean peninsula is another important area of coordination betweenMoscowandBeijingin the Asia Pacific.RussiaandChinahave also been working on increasing interoperability of their military forces in the region since mid 2000s. Technically they have already done a great job for preparing ground for a military alliance. However, politically they do not appear to be ready for that yet. ; Авторы полагают, что российско-китайское сближение является фундаментальной чертой меняющейся системы международных отношений. Оба государства проводят независимую внешнюю политику, часто противоречащую установкам целям государств Запада. При этом Москва и Пекин дополняют друг друга, так как Россия имеет сравнительное преимущество в военной, разведывательной и дипломатической областях, а Китай является экономической сверхдержавой. Регион Центральной Азии, который, как ожидали некоторые западные эксперты, может стать очагом российско-китайского соперничества, напротив, стал сферой сотрудничества двух стран, затрагивающей сегодня широкий круг международных вопросов. Основной площадкой российско-китайского сотрудничества в Центральной Азии стала Шанхайская организация сотрудничества (ШОС). При этом после присоединения Индии и Пакистана к ШОС в 2017 году она превращается в механизм российско-китайского сотрудничества не только в ЦА, но и в Индо-Тихоокеанском регионе в целом. Корейский полуостров является еще одним важным направлением координации между Москвой и Пекином в регионе. Россия и Китай с середины 2000-х годов также работают над повышением оперативной совместимости вооруженных сил. Технически страны уже проделали большую работу по подготовке почвы для военного союза, однако политическая готовность обоих государств пока недостаточна.
