This article examines the key elements of multiculturalism in the state policy of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study aims to determine the regulatory, institutional, and practical mechanisms that ensure the coordination of interethnic and intercultural relations in the country. It explores the historical conditions for the formation of a multicultural model, as well as the role of constitutional provisions, state institutions, and public organizations in supporting cultural diversity. Particular attention is given to the activities of national cultural centers, state language policy, educational programs, and cultural initiatives aimed at enhancing interethnic dialogue. The study applies an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods from political science, sociology, and cultural studies. The findings of the study indicate that Uzbekistan's state policy is developing a model of integrative multiculturalism based on the principles of equal rights for citizens, respect for cultural identity, and the preservation of interethnic harmony.
