Nog wat eerste regels bij landen:

Kazakhstan is a strategic U.S. partner in Central Asia."
"Overview
Turkmenistan is a strategically important state that can play a key role in promoting integration between South and Central Asia.

"Overview
Uzbekistan's large population, strategic location north of Afghanistan, and extensive natural resources (which include gold, uranium, natural gas, and agricultural land) make it a potential force for economic growth and stability in Central Asia."
"Overview
A longstanding U.S. ally and Southeast Asia’s oldest democracy, the Philippines has historic ties with the United States and is an important development, trading, and regional security partner."
