Abstract : The independence of Central Asian States in 1991 has encouraged neighboring countries in the Middle Easter:n to gain access to the regions' newly discovered wealth and to have ~ share in the geo-strategic vacuum following the collapse of the USSR. Saudi Arabia was in the forefront of countries becoming active in Central Asia. Its policy has evolved from limited concern with promotion of Islam among the local peoples to expanding political, economic and financial relations. .Today, a number of Saudi companies are operating in the region in different fields ranging from construction, petrochemicals to food processing. This growing expansion of Saudi commercial presence is expected to further enhance Saudi relations with the Muslim republics. The paper discusses this policy and follows its development since 1991. It examines the different aspects of Saudi relations with the new states and points to issues that need careful handling in order for these relations to grow to a level desired by both Saudis and Central Asians. The paper concludes that Saudi Policy towards Central Asia is more complicated than has been characterized by many observers of the Kingdom.
