The resolution, led by Tajikistan, came as a rare move of unified support for a regional approach to AI governance, laying the groundwork for the ethical, inclusive, and practical use of AI technologies while highlighting Central Asia's growing role in global tech policy.
Initiated by Tajik President Emomali Rahmon in September last year, the resolution's adoption reflects broad support for Tajikistan's efforts to align emerging technologies with regional development goals.
As part of its objectives, the resolution includes building a regional AI center in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, to serve as a hub for education, research, and cross-border collaboration, with aims to support startups, connect institutions, and expand access to shared digital infrastructure.
Tajikistan's Ambassador to Seoul Salohiddin Kirom welcomed the adoption of the resolution, saying it reflects his country's active participation in global AI dialogue.
"The resolution shows Tajikistan's growing role in global discussions on AI and reflects the importance of President Rahmon's constructive leadership," he said.
With detailed action plans for implementation yet to be seen, the resolution is drawing attention as a potential model for other regions seeking to balance innovation and governance, especially amid evolving technological landscapes.
