INTRODUCTION
Theoretical comprehension of the interaction
and dialogue of cultures within the framework
of modern globalization processes is becoming
one of the most important issues of today, as
an essential aspect of the modern cultural and
historical process and a condition for the
stabilization of modern social relations
between peoples, countries and civilizations.
Intercultural communication as the most
important aspect of intercultural interaction is
a prerequisite for a successful dialogue of
cultures across the globe. The cultural identity
of the individual and society is formed and
developed in a complex process of dialogical
interaction between representatives of ethnic
and national cultures, which presupposes the
conscious acceptance of certain qualities as
their own. Intercultural communication, as a

socio-cultural phenomenon, was brought to
life by the practical needs of the post-war
world. Practical needs have arisen as a result of
the rapid economic development of many
countries and regions, revolutionary changes
in technology, the associated globalization of
economic activity. As a result, the world has
become more interconnected - the density and
intensity of long-term contacts between
representatives of different cultures have
grown and continue to increase. The factor of
increasing free time among the masses of
people plays a role. In addition to the economy,
tourism, education, science, such mechanisms
of cultural transmission as libraries and
museums have become the most important
areas of professional and social intercultural
communication. Experience shows that for an
adequate perception and assessment of
foreign cultural phenomena, it is necessary not
only to know the language of the respective
culture but also to know the norms, rules,
traditions, customs, etc., accepted in it. The
decisive factor here is the question of the
significance of cultural differences, the ability
to realize, understand and accept them in the
process of cultural interaction. Thus, the main
goal and meaning of the process of cultural
interaction is the desire to be understood by
your partner, the willingness to communicate
as the ability to convey your information,
knowledge and experience to everyone who
participates in intercultural interaction. The
most important aspect of intercultural
interaction is intercultural communication and
intercultural competence. Even in the
educational process of bachelor, the concept
of "competence" has now become a key
concept. Competence is a set of knowledge,
abilities
and
skills
common
to
all
communicants, which in the theory of
intercultural
communication
is
called
"intercultural
competence".
Intercultural
communication is a term that appeared in
domestic humanities relatively recently,
revealing an important aspect of the spiritual
culture of society.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The events of the last decade that have taken
place in our country have led to qualitative
changes in the social structure of society, the
dynamics and nature of the development of
the system of social relations, social
differentiation in society, the formation of new
social groups are taking place at a rapid pace.
In the context of difficult socio-economic
reforms, the attitude of people towards each
other is of great importance at the present
stage.
Over the past 4-5 years, Uzbekistan has paid
special attention to the observance of
democratic principles, the rule of law,
protection of socio-political rights of citizens,
freedom of thought, speech and religion.
At the same time, this period has gone down in
history as a period of great changes in the
foreign policy of Uzbekistan. Under the
leadership of President of Uzbekistan Shavkat
Mirziyoyev, along with the principles of
interethnic harmony and religious tolerance in
the internal life of the country, a good
neighbourly policy is being pursued with
neighbouring republics.
Today, Uzbekistan's open, constructive,
mutually beneficial foreign policy with foreign
countries,
especially
with
neighbouring
countries, is of great importance for the
countries of Central Asia. The recent visits of
the President of Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan,

Kazakhstan, Russia, China and Kyrgyzstan are a
clear example of the special attention paid to
mutually beneficial cooperation in the foreign
policy of our country.
The stalemate over a foreign policy that has
developed over the years began with Shavkat
Mirziyoyev's first term as President.
In the paragraph of the Strategy of actions on
five priorities of development of the Republic
of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021, entitled "Priorities
in the field of well-thought-out, mutually
beneficial and practical foreign policy": "...
formation ”is one of the main priorities.
Accordingly, as noted by the President in his
speech at the 72nd session of the UN General
Assembly on September 19, 2017, a completely
new political environment has been created in
the region in a short period of time.
The President Sh. Mirziyoyev said: “Today,
Uzbekistan attaches great importance to the
Central Asian region in its foreign policy. This is
a well-thought-out path.
As being located in the heart of Central Asia,
Uzbekistan has a direct interest in making the
region a region of stability, sustainable
development and good neighbourliness.
A peaceful, economically developed Central
Asia is the most important goal and the main
task we are striving for.
Uzbekistan is a strong supporter of dialogue,
practical cooperation and strengthening good
neighbourliness.
We are ready to cooperate with the Central
Asian countries on all issues, without
exception, based on reasonable compromise.
"[2]
The signing of the Uzbek-Kyrgyz state border
agreement in early September 2017, which
prevents border disputes, was a truly
significant event as a solution to these issues.
Over the past 4-5 years, the Government and
the President of Uzbekistan have adopted
several normative and legal acts that serve for
positive results in foreign policy. The main
purpose of the adopting of the above
documents is to expand mutually beneficial, a

between
the
neighbouring countries in political, trade,
economic, investment, financial, technical,
cultural and humanitarian spheres, and to raise
strategic cooperation and allied relations to a
qualitatively new level. ensuring enrichment
and ensuring the unconditional and full
implementation of the agreements reached
between the governments.
As
a
result,
to
date,
Uzbekistan's
comprehensive relations with its neighbours in
Central Asia have been further developed and
fraternal ties have been strengthened. In
particular, between the republics, the
opportunities for citizens to enter and leave
the territory of one country to another have
been expanded. As a result, the restrictions
imposed for 20-25 years have been lifted, and
citizens of Uzbekistan have been able to
communicate freely with their relatives in
neighbouring countries. In 1924, as a result of
the artificial nation-state delimitation in Central
Asia, in some regions the population of one
village was divided into two, part to Tajikistan,
part to Uzbekistan or part to Kyrgyzstan, and
part to Uzbekistan. If the distances between
these settlements, which were demolished 5-6

years ago, were a few hundred meters, the
relatives would not be able to attend each
other's weddings because they were citizens
of other countries.
Today, such tragedies have come to an end.
Mutual relations were strengthened by sincere
bonds of friendship, and centuries-old
traditions began to continue again.
This is primarily the result of the prudent state
policy pursued by the leadership of Uzbekistan
in recent years, adherence to the principles of
good neighbourliness.
From the very beginning of his presidency,
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev
commented on the foreign policy strategy of
our country as follows: “The Central Asian
region, which plays an important role in
ensuring the national interests of our country,
is a key priority of Uzbekistan's foreign policy.
We remain committed to pursuing an open,
friendly and pragmatic policy with our close
neighbours
Turkmenistan,
Kazakhstan,
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan ”[1].
These changes in Uzbekistan's foreign policy
have been recognized by the international
community. For example, Victor Kim, a senior
researcher at the Institute of Asian and African
Studies, says: “The period from 2007 to 2016
can be described as a period of stagnation” for
integration processes in Central Asia. With the
election of Shavkat Mirziyoyev as President of
Uzbekistan in December 2016, the situation in
the region has changed dramatically, as well as
the priorities of Uzbekistan's foreign policy
”[6].
On September 22, 2017, the Miran International
Hotel in Tashkent hosted a roundtable
discussion on "Uzbekistan's foreign policy
activities in the framework of the Action
Strategy"
with
the
participation
of
international and local experts. It was attended
by a total of 26 experts from the United States,
Russia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Belgium,
France, China, Japan, Pakistan and India. Lord
Muhammad Iltaf Sheikh, a member of the
House of Lords of the British Parliament who
visited Tashkent, said that the people did not
err in choosing the political successor of
independent Uzbekistan, judging by the work
done in Uzbekistan since the 2016 presidential
election.
CONCLUSION
In general, today Uzbekistan is becoming a
country that initiates the development of
peace, cooperation, good neighbourliness,
social and humanitarian ties between the
Central Asian states.
