The factors for intensifying cooperation between the Central Asian countries are arranged according to areas of activity, and the transformation of the system of international relations is considered as the conditions in which their interaction occurs. Based on the analysis of statistical sources the actions of internal and external factors in activating cooperation in the region are shown in detail by identifying the mechanisms by which factors influence the dynamics of relationships.
