Central Asian Union

The proposed Central Asian Union, covering the five Central Asian states.

The Central Asian Union (CAU), later called the Central Asian Economic Union (CAEU),[1] was an intergovernmental organization for economic integration between the Central Asian post-Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan between 1994[2] and 2004.[1] Tajikistan joined the Union in 1996 as an observer.[2] Several proposals to restore the Union have been put forward since its dissolution.
