针对长期以来缺少一个明确的对中亚政策的问题，欧盟于2007年通过了 “欧盟与中亚新伙伴关系战略”，为欧盟与中亚的进一步合作打下了坚实的基础。欧盟的新战略充分考虑到中亚各国的国情，得到了广泛的支持和认可。在该战略通过之后，欧盟积极开展对中亚的投资，并在人权、环境、水资源等领域与中亚展开对话，同时避免在该地区出现对抗与竞争性局面。

Lacking a concrete policy towards Central Asia, the “EU and Central Asia Strategy for a New Partnership” was adopted by the European Council in June 2007. This has laid a solid basis for further cooperation between EU and Central Asia. Central Asian countries’ current situation has been taken into full consideration in EU’s new strategy, which thus gains supports by all stakeholders. Based on this, EU has began the investment in Central Asia and also started to dialogue with Central Asia in various fields including human rights ,environment and water resources etc. Meanwhile, EU also tries to avoid conflicts and competition in this area.
