On December 24, the first Summit of Heads of SPECA Participating Countries was held. During the summit, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced the establishment of a dedicated fund for economic development and integration, as well as the initiation of joint scientific research on environmental issues.

The program initially involved Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, with Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan joining later. The program's goals, as outlined in the Tashkent Declaration, are to support cooperation, promote economic development, and integrate Central Asian countries into the economies of Europe and Asia.
