On September 25–26, 2025, the Fourth Central Asia Peering and Interconnection Forum (CAPIF 4) was held in Almaty — one of the key events for the region’s internet industry. The forum was organized by RIPE NCC with the support of the Internet Association of Kazakhstan and the Kazakhstan Association of Communication Operators.

CAPIF serves as a platform for developing internet traffic exchange and peering among providers in Central Asia, attracting content providers, and enhancing connectivity both within the region and beyond. The forum also contributes to positioning Central Asia as a digital and infrastructure hub.

This year, the event brought together around 280 delegates from 22 countries, including representatives of telecom companies, the banking sector, academic institutions, and government organizations.

The Head of the .UZ Domain Administration delivered a presentation on the implementation of IPv6 technology in the .UZ domain zone, showcasing the achievements and future plans for the development of the country’s internet infrastructure.
