The authorities of Uzbekistan intend to adopt a new concept of foreign policy.

It should be recalled that on December 27, a solemn ceremony of presenting credentials by newly appointed foreign ambassadors to Uzbekistan took place. Then the President stressed that the country is committed to continuing democratic reforms, ensuring consistency in the implementation of comprehensive reforms based on the development strategy of the new Uzbekistan.

Strengthening good-neighborly relations and partnership with the Central Asian states remains one of the priority areas. Uzbekistan brings to a qualitatively new level multifaceted cooperation with Russia, China, the United States, as well as the countries of Europe, South Asia, the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East.

As the President said, “we must be open to the world, and the world is open to us – this is the requirement of modern development”.

It also became known that a new concept of foreign policy activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan will be adopted.

The head of state called the settlement of the situation in Afghanistan, which is regarded as an integral part of the region, as the most important factor in ensuring security.

“Uzbekistan is ready for broad cooperation with the international community in order to prevent an economic and humanitarian crisis, to assist in establishing peace in a neighboring state,” the President stressed.

The leader of Uzbekistan dwelled on the prospects of full-scale and long-term cooperation with the countries represented by the newly appointed ambassadors.
