Switzerland has also long recognized the crucial role of water in fostering peace, stability, and regional cooperation. Launched by Switzerland in 2010, the Blue Peace initiative promotes water cooperation across borders, sectors, and generations. In Central Asia, we have worked hand in hand with our partners since 2017, combining hydro-diplomacy, regional water cooperation projects, capacity building of water experts, and youth engagement. The Blue Peace Central Asia (BPCA) initiative has become a key platform for dialogue, joint solutions, and stronger water governance, contributing to sustainable development across the region. Switzerland is proud to support this initiative and believes its continued evolution will bring tangible benefits to countries and communities throughout Central Asia.
