Central Asia in Global Supply Chains, by Małgorzata Samojedny
Poland highlights access to the Adriatic and Black Seas as key gateways for Central and Eastern Europe to global trade routes. Having successfully completed its transformation and joined the G20, Poland aims to share its experience and support deeper economic integration. It also sees Kazakhstan as a potential driver in connecting Central Asia to global supply chains through the Middle Corridor. - Małgorzata Samojedny

On the western side, we've got Adriatic Sea in Croatia as a key player in the region for the 3C initiative.
And of course, access to Black Sea, which eventually brings us here. So this is very important from the Polish point of view and the Central Eastern European countries' point of view to see the seas as the gateways for the regions which are beyond our natural scope of influence, let's say so. So we see also that the countries in Central Eastern Europe are still have this development gap, same as we had.
Now Poland joined G20. We did our transformation well, and we also want to share our experience, which is quite successful, with our partners, not only in the region, but also beyond. So we see here a great potential in this global trade routes and the supply chains.
And we want to make Central Asia, especially Kazakhstan as a kind of key driver here, to join that global trade routes, especially on the south and the middle corridor. So we see here a great potential, and we do a great advocacy in that. So yeah, this is the key issue here.
And the second thing, because we are meeting here because of the constitutional referendum, this is also something that is quite maybe not on an agenda, but discussed in Poland, that the constitution from the 1997, so it's only two years younger than yours, the time has changed. The position of the countries, of the Central Eastern European countries, the position of Poland has changed. The circumstances has changed.
And we need some updates in our legal framework. So this is also something that we look what is going on in the countries that have a similar history and background. And we're looking forward to what will be the outcome of these actions.
Well, thank you very much. Specifically looking at the economic progress that Poland has actually in five years, it's incredible the results and from the level of attraction of investment. I'm speaking with just speaking with French colleagues in the sphere.
