For the first time in almost half a century, a UN water conference was held in New York under the co-chairmanship of Tajikistan and the Netherlands, which became a landmark event for Central Asia.

President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated this at a meeting of the Council for Saving the Aral Sea within the framework of the Fifth Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of the region in Dushanbe.

“From the high rostrum of the General Assembly, the united voice of the Central Asian region on the future of the Aral Sea was heard weightily, and joint statements of the Central Asian states were presented,” the Kazakh leader noted.

The President emphasized that Kazakhstan highly appreciates the results of Tajikistan’s chairmanship in the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea and expects further active participation of the Tajik side and other founding states in the activities of the organization.

In addition, Tokayev noted that the IFAS Executive Committee took part in major international water conferences.
