Foreign Policy

Uzbekistan pursues a balanced foreign policy, refusing to join the CSTO or Eurasian Economic Union while participating in the SCO and maintaining good relations with Russia, China, the U.S., and the EU. Under Mirziyoyev, Uzbekistan has dramatically improved relations with all its neighbors, resolved border disputes, and positioned Tashkent as a hub for Afghan peace and connectivity talks. Key priorities include attracting foreign investment, developing transit corridors (including Afghanistan-linked routes), and water diplomacy with upstream Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Uzbekistan, present yourself as a reforming Central Asian leader that has opened its economy and resolved regional tensions. Emphasize your new trajectory under Mirziyoyev's reforms.

Advocate for Central Asian connectivity, including rail and road links through Afghanistan. Push for Aral Sea remediation as an international environmental priority. On water issues, argue for equitable downstream access and caution against upstream dam projects that threaten your agriculture. Maintain strategic independence -- you are in the SCO but not the CSTO, engaged with the West but not aligned. On Afghanistan, advocate for engagement and connectivity over isolation. Highlight your forced labor reform success as a model for development.
