Abstract
The paper is aimed to acquaint with the role and significance of Central Asia in the restoration and renewal of the European-Iranian relations after the upcoming advent to power in 2021 of the new US president J.Biden; disclose possible orientations for the mutually beneficial common partnership and potentials to balance these relations with Russia and China. To achieve this goal methods of systemic and strategic analysis, comparative and problem approaches have been used. To the present day the topic has not been disclosed within this period and strategic framework, especially based on the Central Asian view to the current international issues. Observations show that European Union is preparing to gradually, in a staged manner, restore full-fledged cooperation with Iran during the Biden administration that coincides with the interests of Iran and CA states. New possibilities appear to develop comprehensive and balanced foreign and security relations between the EU, Iran and CA states, apparently supported by Biden, which can be most efficient if based on the “soft power” instruments and the-joint-up approach, as well as on mutually beneficial projects with China and Russia as necessary components of the forming regional security order.
