Central Asian Cooperation Organization

International Monetary and Trade Organizations

The Central Asian Cooperation Organization was a regional body uniting former Soviet republics of Central Asia, tracing its roots to the Central Asian Commonwealth formed in 1991 and reorganised under its later name in 2002 by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, aiming at cooperation in political, economic, scientific, environmental and cultural fields and at building a unified economic space. Russia joined in October 2004, and the organization was dissolved in 2005 when it merged into the Eurasian Economic Community.
