Lord David Cameron is visiting Central Asia to boost British ties with the region and address concerns about trade sanctions on Russia being side-stepped in neighboring countries. He will travel to Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia to promote business and cultural links with the UK. Cameron will announce measures to support the region's sovereignty and advance discussions on sanctions circumvention, human rights, and reform. He will also double funding for Chevening Scholarships, announce £50 million in development spending, and launch a scheme to promote the English language in Central Asia.
