48 Asian countries and their capitals. Foreign Asia: countries and capitals. List

On the territory of Asia there are several dozen countries with different political systems and living standards, with amazing and dissimilar cultures. Russia also partially refers to Which states does Foreign Asia include? The countries and capitals of this part of the world will be listed in the article.

What is called overseas Asia?

Foreign territory is called the territory of this part of the world that does not belong to Russia, that is, these are all Asian countries except Russia. In the geographical literature, foreign Asia is divided into four large regions. So, they distinguish Central, Eastern, Southern and Front (Western). - this is Russian territory, and foreign Asia, of course, does not belong to it. The countries and capitals of this are absolutely different from each other, they are unique and unrepeatable.

The table below gives an alphabetical list with the names of the capitals.

Developed countries of foreign Asia and their capitals

Among the most highly developed countries in the world is Singapore (capital - Singapore). This is a small island state with a high standard of living of the population, which is mainly engaged in the production of electronics for export.

Tokyo, also engaged in the creation of electronic equipment, is one of the ten most prosperous countries in the world. Almost all countries of foreign Asia and their capitals are rapidly developing. For example, Qatar, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan are among the five fastest growing (in terms of GDP growth) economies in the world.

Not everyone needs to be ahead...

Foreign Asia and their capitals: Bangladesh (capital - Dhaka), Bhutan (capital - Thimphu), Nepal (capital - Kathmandu). These and some other countries cannot boast of either a high standard of living or special achievements in industry. And yet overseas Asia (countries and capitals are listed in the table above) plays an important role in the global economy. The largest financial centers are located in the largest part of the world on the planet: Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore.

These are, of course, the capitals of Asia. At the same time, there are extremely poor regions here. This is the side of contrasts, where luxury and poverty coexist, huge cities and small villages, ancient historical monuments and modern megacities, the highest mountains and the deepest depressions.

Asia is a unique part of the world

Asia is recognized as the largest part of the world. Its territory is so large that it occupies from north to south climatic zones from the Arctic to the equatorial, from the Arctic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, from east to west - from the Pacific Ocean to the seas of the Atlantic, that is, Asia touches all the oceans of the Earth.

From the point of view of geography, Asia is also interesting in that about two-thirds of its territory is occupied by mountains and plateaus. The uniqueness of this part of the world also lies in the extraordinary diversity of its fauna: polar bears and pandas, seals and elephants, and borneo, snow leopards and Gobi cats, loons and peacocks. The geography of Asia is unique, as are the peoples living on its territory. The countries and capitals of Asia are multinational and multicultural.

Asia: countries

The list of Asian countries varies depending on the criteria by which the classification is carried out. Thus, Georgia and Azerbaijan belong either to Europe or to Asia, which is associated with different variants of the border between the two parts of Eurasia. Russia is both a European country and an Asian one, since the main part of the population lives in the European part, and most of the territory is located in the Asian part. The discussion list of which is given in the table is located on the border of the two cardinal points.

In Asia, there are countries that are partially recognized (North Ossetia, the Republic of China, Palestine, Abkhazia and others) or unrecognized (the State of Shan, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Waziristan), there are territories dependent on other states (Coconut Christmas, Hong Kong, Macau other).

Asian countries and their capitals: list

There are 57 states on the territory of Asia, of which 3 6 are partially recognized. A generalized list of countries with different status is given in the table below, where the capitals are listed in alphabetical order.

Ancient cities of Asia

Asia is the side of the world where ancient civilizations actively developed. And the territory of Southeast Asia, presumably, is the ancestral home of ancient man. Ancient documents testify to the prosperity of some cities as early as several millennia BC. So, the city was founded approximately in the 8th millennium BC, and it has never been empty.

The city of Byblos on the Lebanese coast of the Mediterranean Sea dates back to the 4th millennium BC. Asia is not called mysterious for nothing: many Asian capitals keep ancient history and exceptional culture.

Major cities and capitals

Asia is not only exceptional ancient civilizations. These are the leading modern industrial centers.

The most developed and largest cities and capitals of Asia, the list of which is given below, are important points in the global financial industry. These are Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Moscow, Tokyo, Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Riyadh and some others. All of these largest cities in Asia are cities with a population of many millions.

Asia, probably, can be considered the brightest, most diverse and contrasting part of the world, in which more than half of humanity lives. Dozens of countries and peoples are concentrated in it with a huge variety of political devices and economic systems, different standards of living and dissimilar cultural characteristics. Many of them occupy leading positions among the most powerful economies in the world, while adjoining frankly impoverished states.

Among these countries there are also many leaders in various ratings in terms of the area of ​​occupied territories, the number of population, its general density and growth rate. There are many countries with the fastest growing economies.

It is also surprising that among these countries there are many officially unrecognized states - Waziristan, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the Shan state, or partially recognized ones - Abkhazia, Azad Kashmir, the Republic of China (Taiwan Island).

Some powers of this part of the world are partially located on the European part of the continent, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Indonesia, Yemen, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Georgia, or are part of other states, for example, the countries of the Asian part of Russia. It is also surprising that Cyprus, which is located entirely in Asia, is at the same time a member of the European Union (EU) and Turkey is a member of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO). These are the countries that are included in Asia, amazing and incredible.

In general, Asia knows how to surprise and amaze the imagination with its scale and incredible features.

Historically, Asia is divided into five main parts: Northern (countries that are part of Russia), Central, Eastern, Western (Front) and South Asia. In Russian geographical literature, you can find such a term as "countries of the foreign part of Asia", it means all of Asia, except for its northern part, that is, those countries that are part of Russia.
