Keywords:
New Uzbekistan, foreign policy, Central Asia, regional integration, cooperation, diplomacyAbstract
This article analyzes the role of New Uzbekistan’s foreign policy in strengthening regional integration and cooperation in Central Asia. Since 2016, the implementation of an open and pragmatic foreign policy has intensified regional diplomatic relations, expanded economic and infrastructural cooperation, and gradually resolved border and transboundary resource-related disputes. The paper particularly highlights Uzbekistan’s initiatives in launching new dialogue formats - most notably the “Central Asian Consultative Meetings” - which have laid the institutional foundations for integration.
