Alexander Stepanov, Director of the Third Department for CIS Affairs at the Russian Foreign Ministry, said at the Central Asian session of Russia's Valdai International Discussion Club that signs indicate a new power center based on the Russia-Central Asia-China triangle is forming.
Stepanov pointed out that the Central Asia-Russia-China triangle located in the heart of Eurasia may become a new power center in the emerging multipolar world order. He emphasized that all prerequisites exist from the perspectives of population, economy, food, energy, technology, and raw materials.
Meanwhile, according to Stepanov, extremely intense and not entirely favorable activities are already underway around this “Eurasian heartland” region.
Stepanov concluded: "Unfortunately, I can say it is surrounded by an unstable belt, which may cover Central Asia and the South Caucasus. From the northwest, it already encircles the Baltic region and extends into the Arctic. From the east, from the eastern Pacific, signs of anti-China centers are also emerging."

Alexander Stepanov, Director of the Third Department for CIS Affairs at the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that the Russian President Putin's proposal for a "Nuclear Five" summit holds practical relevance amid current international crises.
Speaking at the Central Asian session of Russia's Valdai International Discussion Club, Stepanov said: "Back then, our side proposed holding a summit of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to discuss a shared future. Russia's initiative remains valid and, given the current geopolitical crisis, may even be more relevant now."
The Valdai International Discussion Club's Central Asian Conference was held in Gelendzhik on May 12–13. The theme of this conference was "Russia and Central Asia: Navigating a New World Order."
