INTRODUCTION


It is known that Uzbekistan is one of the
youngest countries in the world to gain
independence out of about 200 countries. But
it has a history of more than 300 years in terms
of the formation and establishment of
statehood. On August 31, 1991, at the sixth
special session of the Supreme Soviet of the
Republic,

the

state

independence

of

Uzbekistan was declared. From the first years
of independence, the Republic of Uzbekistan
has been striving to take a worthy place in the


world community and pursuing its foreign
policy relations with many countries in the
political, economic and cultural spheres. In the
first days of independence, the adoption of the
Law

"On

the

Foundations

of

State

Independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan"
[6] laid a solid foundation for the independent
implementation of Uzbekistan's foreign policy.
In this regard, the first President Islam Karimov
said: “The fact that Uzbekistan has gained

recognized means that from now on the
Republic will pursue an independent domestic
and foreign policy, establish mutually
beneficial

relations

without

anyone's

mediation. It is really in the national interest of
the republic ... to raise it in practice”.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The Republic of Uzbekistan became a full
member of the United Nations on March 2,
1992. On October 24, 1993, the UN Office in
Uzbekistan was opened in Tashkent, and the
Office of Uzbekistan was opened at the UN
Headquarters (New York). The principles of the
foreign policy of our country are enshrined in
Article 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of
Uzbekistan [4] and the Law "On the basic
principles of the foreign policy of the Republic
of Uzbekistan" [5,19].

According to the Constitution, the foreign
policy of the Republic of Uzbekistan is based
on the sovereign equality of states, non-use of
force and threat of force, inviolability of
borders, peaceful settlement of disputes
through negotiations, non-interference in the
internal affairs of other countries and
membership in other interstate structures of
international law. its highest interests may
arise from such alliances and structures due to
its well-being and security.

Naturally, the Republic of Uzbekistan conducts
its foreign policy based on these universally
recognized

norms

and

principles

of

international law.

Over the past 30 years, Uzbekistan has
launched several initiatives for peace, stability
and equal cooperation between the state,
people and nations in the world since the early
years of independence. Effective work is being

done for its practical result. Such activity is
unique to a country that, with its intellectual
potential, becomes a model for states, peoples
and nations.

The first attempt. On September 28, 1993, at
the 48th session of the UN General Assembly
[7], the first President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan initiated the transformation of
Central Asia into a nuclear-weapon-free zone.
Until that time, nuclear-weapon-free zones
existed in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa,
and the Pacific. On September 8, 2006, the UN
signed a separate document on this
agreement. On March 21, 2009, the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in
Central Asia entered into force.

The second attempt. At the initiative of
Uzbekistan, the "6 + 2" dialogue group was
established in 1997 to resolve internal conflicts
in Afghanistan. The group, which includes
leaders

from

Uzbekistan,

Tajikistan,

Turkmenistan, Iran, Pakistan, China, the United
States and Russia, operated from 1997 to 2001.

The third attempt. Uzbekistan has been
cooperating with NATO since 1994 under the
Partnership for Peace. To further develop
cooperation, the country will exchange
experience in strengthening international
relations, peace and stability, prevention of any
threats to security, international terrorism,
religious

extremism,

drug

trafficking,

transnational organized crime and non-
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
is being done. At the next summit of the NATO
Euro-Atlantic Cooperation Council on April 3-4,
2008 in Bucharest, Uzbekistan put forward an
initiative to transform the 6 + 2 contact group
into a 6 + 3 group.

It is known that in the East, the dream of a just
king, a prosperous country has existed since
ancient times. Naturally, our scholars have
written various pamphlets, manuals, advice
and books on this subject. As noted in the
"Statutes of Temur", Amir Temur paid great
attention to the council and advice in
governing the state. In his works, Alisher Navoi
emphasized that the king, first of all, should be
distinguished by his humility, wisdom,
determination, honesty, humanity, humanity,
generosity, kindness to citizens, honesty,
patriotism. “A just king,” says the poet, “is a
mirror, and it is the opposite. It is a bright
morning, it is his dark night. ”[11]

It should be noted that in the new conditions
of Uzbekistan, "national uplift" is an attempt to
develop our country, raise the political and
legal thinking, living standards and quality of
life of our people. The initiatives put forward by
our country to take a worthy place in the world
community, to establish mutual cooperation,
to achieve sustainable development deserve
great recognition [16-18].

Today, the reforms being carried out in our
country to ensure human rights and freedoms,
the administration of justice are recognized
and supported by the United Nations and other
international organizations. After listening to
the speech of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at
the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly
on September 19, 2017 [8], the heads of state
and the world community assessed the
changes in the protection of human rights in
Uzbekistan. It is no coincidence that during the
72nd session of the UN General Assembly, the
head of our state initiated the holding of the
Asian Forum on Human Rights in Samarkand on
the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2018.

It is noteworthy that the Samarkand
Declaration on the Protection of Human Rights
was adopted at the Asian Forum for Human
Rights, the first in the Asian region in 70 years
since the founding of the United Nations [12-
15].

For the first time in the UN, the resolution
"Strengthening regional and international
cooperation to ensure peace, stability and
sustainable development in the Central Asian
region" [1] was adopted on the initiative of the
head of our state. For the first time, the
priorities of Central Asian cooperation have
been identified in an international document,
uniting them into a common and unified
consensus. At the same time, the adoption of
the resolution confirmed that the Central Asian
countries are ready to take full responsibility
for the fate of the region. For the first time, the
goals and interests of the Central Asian states
emerged as a single region. On December 12,
2018, the plenary session of the UN General
Assembly adopted a special resolution entitled
“Enlightenment and Religious Tolerance” [2].

The draft document was developed by
Uzbekistan and unanimously supported by all
UN member states. It should be noted that the
adoption of this historic resolution was a
practical manifestation of the initiative put
forward by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at
the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly in
September 2017 in New York. It should be
noted that in his speech at the session,
President Mirziyoyev said: “I would like to draw
your attention once again to one of the most
acute environmental problems of today - the
Aral Sea disaster. Here is a map of the Aral Sea
tragedy in my hands. I don't think there is any
need to comment on that”. The structure of
the Trust Fund was of great importance for the

Aral Sea region. In his speech at the 75th
session of the UN General Assembly, the
President also drew attention to global climate
change and the Aral Sea problem. In his
speech, the head of our state said: “We
propose to adopt a special resolution of the
United Nations General Assembly declaring the
Aral Sea region a zone of ecological innovation
and technology.

It would be appropriate to celebrate the date
of approval of this important document as the
International Day for the Protection and
Restoration of Ecological Systems". On May 18,
2021, the UN adopted a “Special Resolution on
the Declaration of the Aral Sea Region as a
Zone of Environmental Innovation and
Technology” [3].

This historical document has become a
relevant document not only for Uzbekistan but
also for the fate of our neighbouring countries
in the Aral Sea region. This document has
identified the involvement of science-based
environmental innovative technologies in the
development of an inclusive economy,
ensuring biodiversity, protecting public health
and achieving related goals, drawing the
attention of the entire world community in the
first place. Several relevant plans and
roadmaps for the implementation of the tasks
set out in this Resolution will be developed not
only in our country but also in cooperation with
partner countries.

On July 15-16, 2021, our country will hold a high-
level conference "Central and South Asia:
regional

connectivity.

Threats

and

Opportunities ” international conference. This
conference reflected the common interests of
all states in Central and South Asia. The
participating countries agreed to carry out joint

efforts against transnational threats to peace
and stability. As the President said in his
speech, "We have a task to turn Central and
South Asia, and the whole Eurasian region in
general, into a stable, economically developed
and prosperous region" [10].

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

The head of our state put forward the initiative
to hold a Summit of Central Asian Leaders in
2017 to achieve the main goal of transforming
Central Asia into a stable, economically
developed and highly developed region, to
fully realize the region's potential, strengthen
mutual trust, good neighbourliness and
cooperation. This vital initiative was widely
supported and implemented quickly because it
was in the interests of our fraternal peoples.
The first summit was held in March 2018 in the
capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan, the second
in November 2019 in Tashkent, and the third in
Avaza, Turkmenistan. At the meeting, the head
of our state Sh. Mirziyoyev made several
proposals on topical issues:

Encouraging direct contacts between
entrepreneurs and regions of our
countries, holding regular investment and
economic forums;

Adoption of an agreement on general
areas of trade and economic cooperation;

Effective use of the transport and transit
potential of Central Asia, full restoration of

Uzbekistan's prestige in the international
arena is growing. This is determined, on the
one hand, by the fact that Uzbekistan is
one of the cradles of world civilization, on
the other hand, by its commitment to
ancestral traditions, ie its active role in
ensuring peace and stability between
peoples, states, nations and religions. All
this is a blessing of independence.
