Uzbekistan turns to hydro-diplomacy over the Qosh Tepa canal

Original: The Qosh Tepa canal: Why Tashkent pursues hydro-diplomacy over confrontation with Kabul?

Tashkent is pursuing diplomatic engagement with Kabul over Afghanistan's Qosh Tepa canal, a massive project diverting water from the Amu Darya river that threatens water supplies downstream in Uzbekistan. Rather than confrontation, Uzbekistan is seeking negotiation with the Taliban authorities, raising questions about how Central Asian states will manage transboundary water disputes with their Afghan neighbour.

Why now: The canal's construction threatens Uzbekistan's water security, making Tashkent's choice of diplomacy over confrontation a pressing regional question.
