Uzbekistan Mission to UN - New York

On 4-6 June 2026, Tashkent will host the Second Meeting of the Termez Dialogue on Connectivity between Central and South Asia on “Peace, Connectivity, and Resilience: Shaping the Foundation for Shared Prosperity”.
Established in 2025 as a permanent international platform, the Termez Dialogue aims to advance the practical implementation of the initiative proposed by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to strengthen interconnectivity between Central and South Asia. This initiative has received broad international support and was enshrined in a special resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 July 2022.

The current meeting is organized by the Institute for Strategic and Regional Studies under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in partnership with the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA).

The forum will bring together more than 150 representatives from political, business, and expert communities, as well as from international and regional organizations across Central and South Asia, Europe, the CIS, the South Caucasus, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and the Americas. This underscores the Termez Dialogue’s inclusive, open nature as a comprehensive international platform for developing joint approaches to strengthening connectivity, trust, and sustainable development across the Eurasian space.

Partners and participants in the Dialogue include the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia (UNRCCA), the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), and leading think tanks, research institutions, and peacebuilding organizations, such as the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Center for Progressive Reforms, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Berghof Foundation, PeaceNexus, Search for Common Ground, Georgetown University, and other organizations.

The forum program includes a high-level plenary session on “Political Dialogue and Economic Connectivity as Pillars of Sustainable Development in the CICA Region”, as well as two special thematic sessions focused on joint climate change adaptation and environmental sustainability, and on deepening cultural and humanitarian cooperation.

The event will also feature expert and academic discussions, as well as side events focused on regional security and on expanding engagement with Afghanistan, including the development of the Afghanistan – Uzbekistan – Pakistan dialogue, strengthening transport and logistics connectivity, fostering regional trust, and advancing a common sustainable development agenda. Particular attention will be paid to issues of Central Asian regional identity and to expanding youth cooperation in peacebuilding and sustainable development.

The forum program also includes off-site sessions. Participants in the Dialogue are scheduled to visit Termez, where they will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the modern trade, economic, and logistics infrastructure supporting cooperation with South Asian countries, including the operations of the Airitom International Trade Center and the international logistics hub Termez Cargo Center, and to experience the rich cultural and historical heritage of the ancient city.

The third day of the Dialogue will be held in Samarkand, where delegates will explore the unique civilizational heritage of the Samarkand Renaissance, which historically served as a bridge between East and West, as well as North and South.

The meeting is expected to conclude with the adoption of a Communiqué reaffirming the commitment to strengthening trust, advancing constructive cooperation, and promoting sustainable connectivity between Central and South Asia.

Uzbekistan: Strengthening cooperation within the Turkic World and new horizons of development

On May 15, 2026, an informal summit of the Organization of Turkic States will be held in the city of Turkestan.

The upcoming high-level event will serve as a vital platform for discussing pressing issues of cooperation and defining the next priority areas for the development of interaction among member states.
The formation of the Turkic integration space has a multi-century history, rooted not only in the commonality of language, culture, and historical heritage but also in the rich traditions of enlightenment and intellectual thought of the Turkic peoples. The Jadidism movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries played a pivotal role in shaping the ideas of cultural and spiritual rapprochement. Its representatives advocated for education, science, social modernization and the strengthening of ties between the Turkic nations.
The first summit of the heads of Turkic-speaking states was held in 1992 in Ankara at the initiative of Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Özal. In the 1996 Tashkent Declaration, the heads of state solidified the provision for establishing a Secretariat. Over the following years, this format evolved consistently, leading to the establishment of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States in Nakhchivan in 2009. At the 2021 Istanbul Summit, a decision was made to transform the entity into the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). This reflected the expansion of the organization's activities and its growing international significance.
The primary objective of the organization is to develop comprehensive cooperation among the member states - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan. Priority tasks include strengthening mutual trust and good-neighborly relations, coordinating foreign policy positions and expanding cooperation in trade, economic, transport, energy, and cultural-humanitarian spheres. Special attention is paid to creating favourable conditions for trade and investment, developing scientific and technical cooperation and improving the living standards of the region's population.
The organizational structure of the OTS includes a number of key institutions that coordinate multilateral cooperation. The Council of Heads of State is the supreme body, which defines strategic development goals and holds regular meetings. The Council of Elders of the Organization of Turkic States serves in a consultative capacity. Bringing together influential representatives from member states, it serves to strengthen the traditions of mutual understanding and trust within the Turkic world.
Uzbekistan has been an active participant in the processes of bringing Turkic states closer and developing multilateral cooperation within this format from the very beginning. A new turning point was President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's participation as a guest of honour in the 6th Summit of Turkic-Speaking States, held on September 3, 2018, in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan. This step provided a new impetus to the organization's development. In 2019, the Republic ratified the Nakhchivan Agreement, officially formalizing its full-fledged participation in the activities of the OTS.
With Uzbekistan’s accession, the organization’s activities and the cooperation agenda among member states have intensified significantly. At the summits held between 2019 and 2025, the President of Uzbekistan put forward 116 initiatives aimed at deepening multifaceted cooperation. To date, 64 of these have been implemented, with several other projects currently in their final stages. These figures demonstrate Uzbekistan’s systematic and practical approach toward developing integration processes within the Turkic space.
The implemented initiatives cover a comprehensive range of areas. In the fields of economy and transport, the introduction of the “e-Permit”, “Digital TIR” and “Green Corridor” systems - aimed at streamlining logistics processes and developing the region's transit potential - has been of particular importance. In the tourism sector, key highlights included the declaration of Kokand as the Tourism Capital of the Turkic World and the implementation of the “Tabarruk Ziyorat” (Sacred Pilgrimage) project, which serves to develop pilgrimage tourism.
Cooperation in the fields of youth policy, science, and education is developing actively. Youth leadership forums, international conferences, and events within the framework of the Turkic Universities Union are being held regularly. At the same time, significant attention is paid to innovative development - IT forums, startup platforms and meetings of sectoral agencies are organized, including cooperation in the space industry and defence sectors. This reflects the striving of member states to form a unified technological space.
Uzbekistan's chairmanship, which began following the outcomes of the 2022 Samarkand Summit, holds particular significance for the development of the Organization of Turkic States. During this period, the country not only intensified practical cooperation but also introduced institutional innovations to the organization's activities. In particular, for the first time, the practice of developing a comprehensive Concept and Action Plan for the chairmanship period was introduced. This made it possible to give the cooperation a more systematic and consistent character. Within the framework of the chairmanship, more than 100 events were held at various levels, covering key areas from economy and transport to science, culture and education.
Today, OTS agenda is being shaped taking into account the interests of all participating states, with each country contributing to the development of integration processes.
Economic cooperation within the OTS framework demonstrates steady positive growth. According to the results of recent years, Uzbekistan's trade turnover with the member states of the organization has been consistently increasing and exceeded USD 10.8 billion in 2025. Kazakhstan and Türkiye remain our country's primary trading partners. At the same time, an increase in bilateral trade with other member states is also being observed. This indicates the deepening of economic integration and cooperation ties within the region.
From this perspective, the upcoming summit of the Organization of Turkic States to be held in the city of Turkistan will serve as a vital platform for discussing future directions of multilateral cooperation and developing new joint initiatives. Given the summit's theme, special attention is expected to be paid to digital transformation, the development of joint innovation ecosystems, the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, strengthening cooperation in digital infrastructure and the training of highly skilled modern personnel.
At the same time, discussions are planned to cover the strengthening of trade and economic ties, the development of transport and logistics connectivity, the expansion of investment cooperation, as well as the promotion of joint high-tech and innovative projects within the Turkic space.
According to experts, Uzbekistan, as a supporter of deepening practical cooperation and strengthening mutual trust within the Turkic space, will continue to actively contribute to the realization of the organization’s common goals. The expected agreements and initiatives are anticipated to provide a new impetus to integration processes, serve the sustainable development of the region, and further enhance the international prestige of the Organization of Turkic States.

Center of Islamic Civilization of Uzbekistan recovers stolen artefacts from abroad
Stolen cultural property dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD has been returned to Uzbekistan following a large-scale investigation involving law enforcement agencies and scholars from across Europe.
A number of artefacts, illegally smuggled from the Central Asian republic that was once the heart of the Bactrian and Kushan empires, were presented by the Metropolitan Police's Art and Antiquities Unit at the Embassy of Uzbekistan. They will subsequently be transported back to their homeland, where they will take a prominent place in the exhibition of the recently opened Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent.
The event serves as vivid evidence of Uzbekistan's consistent policy regarding the repatriation of national cultural heritage and highlights the growing global trend toward the protection of cultural values.
“This event is a compelling confirmation of the broad international support for the consistent course of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, aimed at returning cultural treasures to their homeland, - noted Firdavs Abdukhalikov, Director of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent and Chairman of the Board of the World Society for the Study, Preservation and Popularization of the Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan (WOSCU). - We are deeply grateful to our partners and law enforcement representatives from European countries for their support and look forward to further cooperation in preserving and restoring our cultural heritage”.
Detective Sophie Hayes of the Metropolitan Police, addressing a gathering of prominent scholars and officials, emphasized that the recovered artefacts are the heritage not only of Uzbekistan but of all humanity. According to her, the investigation was conducted with the assistance of both national and international specialists, as well as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with the support of the World Society for the Study, Preservation and Popularization of the Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan (WOSCU).
The items presented at the exhibition are among the findings discovered in November 2025 during an investigation codenamed Operation Inherent Vice by the police.
A total of nine artefacts were on display, including statue heads and fragments of gypsum frescoes. These monuments date from the 2nd-3rd to the 7th century AD and hold exceptional historical significance for both Uzbekistan and the broader Islamic world.
“The return of these priceless artefacts is not only a victory for New Uzbekistan but also a compelling testament to the power of international cooperation in preserving the country's historical heritage, - added Mr. Abdukhalikov, noting that cultural organizations, legal institutions and diplomatic missions have confirmed their readiness to assist Uzbekistan in recovering its lost treasures”.
The ceremony reflected a broader trend toward strengthening global interaction in the field of cultural heritage protection, with a particular focus on increasing transparency and adhering to ethical standards in the art and antiquities market.
The Center of Islamic Civilization also announced its intention to participate in the upcoming Sotheby’s and Christie’s auctions and to visit art galleries in London. These initiatives are aimed at acquiring new items of Uzbek cultural heritage for the purpose of their preservation and return to the homeland.
“Uzbekistan's efforts to return and protect its cultural heritage continue to attract the attention and support of the international community. We are setting a powerful example of coordinated action in the field of restitution of cultural property”, - emphasized Mr. Abdukhalikov.
“The returned items possess exceptional historical and scientific value, as they belong to various eras of the ancient history of the territory of modern Uzbekistan and reflect the diversity of civilizational processes that have occurred in Central Asia over the centuries”, - noted Dr. Farhod Maksudov, Director of the National Center of Archaeology (Institute of Archaeology) of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In Uzbekistan, during this challenging period, the state took on the role not just of a regulator, but of an active catalyst for modernization

Akramjon Nematov, First Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic and Regional Studies under the President of Uzbekistan (ISRS), in an analysis for Dunyo IA on the results of the April 24 meeting chaired by the Head of State, emphasized that the country's socio-economic development results for the first quarter of 2026 confirm: the nation has not only adapted to global turbulence but has also developed a reliable internal immunity to external shocks.
According to him, the achieved figures indicate that the national economy has reached a qualitatively new level of dynamic development. Despite unprecedented global market volatility, the disruption of global supply chains, and mounting inflationary pressures, Uzbekistan recorded an impressive GDP growth of 8.7%, significantly exceeding the 6.8% result from the same period last year.
Such a significant breakthrough, the expert is convinced, has been a direct result of the well-considered and consistent strategy of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, aimed at the fundamental transformation of all spheres of public life. During this challenging period, the state assumed not merely the role of a regulator but that of an active catalyst for modernization: the industrial sector grew by 8%, compared with 4.1% in 2025, while the services sector, which has become the engine of renewal, surged by 16.1%. Against the backdrop of global instability, Uzbekistan, for the first time on an annual basis, managed to curb inflation, reducing it from 10.6% in March 2025 to 7.1% in the current period, thereby opening new horizons for long-term investment planning.
The country’s leadership has made a significant contribution, reflected in unprecedented financial support for entrepreneurship. In 2026, 140 trillion UZS are being allocated for these purposes through the banking system, 30% more than last year. Targeted assistance to mahallas in the first quarter alone amounted to 3.6 trillion UZS, a 25% increase, enabling local budgets to generate an additional 2.2 trillion UZS in revenue.
As the expert noted, during the critical analysis, the Head of State emphasized that the quantitative records achieved must serve as a foundation for significant structural improvements in the economy, necessitating a transition to an advanced, innovative development model. One of the central tasks identified is a sharp increase in labour productivity, which should rise by at least 10-15% through the integration of modern technologies and management standards. The state aims to fully move away from the raw-materials-exporter model toward the creation of high-tech regional value chains, engaging more than 40 global brands as strategic partners.
Particular attention is being paid to the efficiency of project management. With a record volume of foreign investment in the quarter totalling USD 13.7 billion, 1.6 times higher than last year, the focus is shifting toward precise monitoring of returns. The President has decided to elevate the economy to a new international level: as early as next month, 30% of state assets worth USD 2.4 billion will be listed on international stock markets. This has become possible due to the transfer of management of 13 strategic enterprises of the National Investment Fund to the reputable company Franklin Templeton. At the same time, the state is accelerating reform of the energy framework, allocating USD 50 million for concessional lending to support businesses in transitioning to renewable energy sources, and creating a digital logistics infrastructure capable of increasing exports through electronic platforms, raising the target to USD 700 million.
At the same time, expert analysis shows that external challenges are not only persisting but also intensifying significantly: the continued rise in global energy prices and the increasing complexity of global logistics are creating tangible pressure on domestic production costs and competitiveness.
Under current conditions, activities in the external sphere must be maximally synchronized with domestic reforms. This implies a focus on facilitating technology transfer, attracting smart capital into artificial intelligence, and diversifying transport corridors to strengthen Uzbekistan’s status as a central link in regional connectivity. The steady acceleration of exports and the systematic removal of barriers for high-value-added products today require deep coordination between the state and the private sector, as well as the mobilization of all available resources to achieve qualitative results, the expert believes.
To maintain current high growth rates and reach new milestones, it is necessary, as the President emphasized, to radically increase the flexibility of managerial decision-making and ex*****on discipline at the local level. It is important to transform quantitative growth into the structural quality of the economy, to ensure development through a multiple increase in productivity and the creation of high added value in key sectors.
The balanced and proactive foreign policy of the country’s leader creates the necessary zone of stability at the regional level. However, it is precisely the internal mobilization of the public administration, an uncompromising focus on innovation, and the efficiency of management that are today the decisive conditions for enabling Uzbekistan to successfully transform global pressure into new “windows of opportunity” for long-term national prosperity.

Tashkent's Water Diplomacy: From National Reforms to Regional Synergy in Central Asia

Proactivity, Pragmatism, and Good-Neighborliness: Uzbekistan's Approaches to Transboundary Water Cooperation

On April 22, the next Summit of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS) – one of the region's prominent organizations – will take place in Astana.

The upcoming meeting of the Heads of the Founding States acquires special significance, as it marks the transition of the Fund's chairmanship to Uzbekistan for 2027–2029 period. This will be our country’s third mandate, following leadership terms in 1997–1999 and 2013–2016.

It is worth noting that Tashkent was at the forefront of the creation of IFAS. Yet, resuming this leadership role after a decade takes place in a fundamentally transformed regional landscape. Today, Uzbekistan offers not only significant expertise but also a comprehensive portfolio of realized initiatives that are globally recognized.

The Transformation of Uzbekistan's Water Sector for Sustainable Development

Facing intensified climate pressures alongside robust economic and demographic growth, Uzbekistan has committed to a fundamental restructuring of its water resource management, elevating it to a core priority of state policy.

The complexity of the situation is underscored by objective data. Over the last 15 years, per capita water availability in the republic has decreased by more than half – falling from 3,000 to 1,400 cubic meters per year. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, the annual volume of water resources has dropped to 51–53 billion cubic meters, representing a 21% decline from 1991 levels (64 billion cubic meters).

A significant challenge remains the high dependence on external sources, as approximately 80% of surface water (41 billion cubic meters) originates outside the country. While the water shortage did not exceed 3 billion cubic meters prior to 2015, expert forecasts indicate that the deficit could reach 7 billion by 2030 and 15 billion cubic meters by 2050.

Recognizing the scale of these risks, Uzbekistan – under the leadership of Shavkat Mirziyoyev – is undertaking a comprehensive technological modernization of the water sector. In less than a decade, the land area utilizing water-saving technologies has surged from 28,000 hectares to over 2.6 million hectares, now covering more than 60% of all irrigated land. Parallel to these efforts, large-scale work is being carried out across the country on the concreting of canals and the reconstruction of flume networks. It is projected that by 2030, these systemic measures will yield annual savings of up to 15 billion cubic meters of water.

Along with this, the digitalization of the industry is being carried out. Currently, 11 information platforms are being deployed to manage the water cadastre, monitor pumping stations, and track land reclamation status. Over the past four years, the management of 100 major water facilities has been fully automated, the “Smart Water” system has been introduced at 13,000 water intake points, and more than 1,700 pumping stations have been equipped with real-time online monitoring devices.

Simultaneously, the national economic model is undergoing a strategic adaptation. According to the Center for Economic Research and Reforms, the share of agriculture in the GDP structure has steadily decreased from 32% in 2017 to 19% by 2024. Notably, against this backdrop, the total volume of agricultural production has increased by 17%. This divergence confirms a successful transition toward more rational, efficient resource utilization and higher productivity.

Regional Synergy and Water Diplomacy

At the same time, Uzbekistan has achieved significant results on the international water cooperation track. Most of the initiatives proposed by Tashkent within the framework of IFAS have been successfully implemented thanks to the consolidation of regional efforts and the active support of international partners.

The primary vector of this work has been the large-scale ecological rehabilitation of the Aral Sea region. A network of local water bodies was created on the dried bottom of the sea and in the Amu Darya delta, including the Sudochye, Khojakul-Karajar, Maipost-Domalak lake systems, the Mezhdurechenskoe reservoir, as well as the Muynak, Rybachy, and Zhyltyrbas bays.

In addition, colossal forest reclamation projects are underway. To date, green plantations have been established across approximately 2 million hectares. In the next two years, it is planned to create protective belts on another 400 thousand hectares. The expansion of the protected natural area network – which has now reached 4.6 million hectares in the Aral Sea region – has not only significantly reduced the emission of toxic dust but has also created the necessary conditions for the revival of local flora and fauna.

International recognition of these efforts was solidified in 2019 at a high-level conference in Nukus, where the designation of the Aral Sea region as a 'Zone of Ecological Innovations and Technologies' was established. This initiative, first proposed by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly and the IFAS Summit in 2018, received universal support in 2021 when the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted the corresponding Resolution.

An important addition to political initiatives was the launch in 2018 of the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Human Security for the Aral Sea Region. Established at the proposal of Uzbekistan, the Fund serves as an effective mechanism for mobilizing donor resources and coordinating international efforts to address the region’s most pressing socio-economic and environmental challenges.

Along with the development of such instruments of financial and humanitarian assistance, Uzbekistan invariably views IFAS as the " preeminent platform for regional interaction in the water and environmental sphere," playing a unique role in ensuring the stability of Central Asia. Through the qualitative strengthening of this Organization, Tashkent intends to further promote the consolidated interests of the entire region on the global stage.

Furthermore, Uzbekistan has achieved a diplomatic breakthrough by spearheading multilateral cooperation formats. A steadfast commitment to the principles of good-neighborliness and proactivity have paved the way for a constructive dialogue on the joint management of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya water resources.

Concrete examples of this synergy include the agreements between Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan on the operation of the 'Bahri Tojik' reservoir, as well as the landmark decisions by Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan regarding the Toktogul reservoir and the 'Kambarata-1' HPP construction project.

In light of the growing water shortage, a logical continuation of these efforts is a transition toward long-term strategic planning. To this end, during the Seventh Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State, the President of Uzbekistan proposed declaring 2026–2036 as the 'Decade of Practical Actions for the Rational Use of Water in Central Asia.' Recognizing that effective management is unattainable without a highly skilled workforce, Tashkent also plans to establish a Regional Center of Competence in Water Management at the 'TIIAME' National Research University."

A critical vector of regional water cooperation remains the establishment of a dialogue with Afghanistan. Uzbekistan advocates for the gradual involvement of Kabul in regional partnership on the basis of a balance of interests. As practical steps, Tashkent proposes conducting joint monitoring of transboundary rivers, the real-time exchange of hydrometeorological data, and the creation of permanent expert platforms. These measures are intended to lay the foundation for fair and rational water use throughout the region.

In summary, large-scale internal reforms combined with a proactive foreign policy have created a solid foundation for the upcoming chairmanship of Uzbekistan in IFAS. During its mandate in 2027–2029, the State intends to prioritize the comprehensive renewal of the regulatory and institutional framework of the Fund. At the same time, effort will remain focused on enhancing socio-economic conditions, strengthening ecological safeguards, and identifying sustainable ways to increase the water supply of the region. Ultimately, Tashkent aims to elevate the international standing of IFAS, transforming water and ecological cooperation into a cornerstone of sustainable development and a guarantor of long-term stability for all nations of Central Asia.
