There has never been a better time to explore new areas and forge new relationships than today. Despite the worst global financial crisis in history, it needs only a quick glance back at history, to the glorious days of the Old Silk Road, to realise the strategic importance of Central Asia in forming civilisations and economic exchange. It also needs little imagination to realise the role that the

region will undoubtedly play in the coming years. Despite this, Central Asia remains one of the least explored parts of the world. The magazine is for all Europeans interested in the region, natives from Central Asia living in UK and both the international and Central Asian business communities. Magazine distributed in 6 countries ( UK, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) among over 1000 business companies in Uzbekistan Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Magazines also available at several Universities, Embassies, Air companies and other organizations in UK related to Central Asia.
