BUDAPEST, January 7. /Dunyo IA/.  The prestigious Hungarian publication “Daily News Hungary” published an article titled “Active diplomacy of Uzbekistan: 2025 - From Dynamic Dialogue to Tangible Results”, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The article notes: The year 2025 marked a stage of qualitative renewal and consolidation of Uzbekistan’s foreign policy positions. Amid a complex and ambiguous international environment characterized by rising geopolitical tensions, the transformation of global institutions, and intensifying competition for resources and markets, Uzbekistan, under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, consistently pursued an open, pragmatic, active, and proactive foreign policy. This approach not only helped preserve the stability of external relations but also infused them with new substantive content aligned with the country’s long-term interests and domestic development priorities.

The article emphasizes that this approach has not only maintained stability in foreign relations but also allowed Uzbekistan to give them new substance aligned with the country’s long-term interests and domestic development priorities.

According to the publication, the diplomatic strategy of New Uzbekistan is an integral part of the country’s broad socio-economic reforms. It aims to modernize the economy, attract investment and foreign tourists, expand export potential, and create favorable conditions for strengthening humanitarian and cultural ties. The foreign policy course is based on principles of openness, equal partnership, mutual respect, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, and strict adherence to international law.

Political dialogue at the highest level with prominent world leaders has reached a new stage and become regular. New agreements have been reached with the leaders of the United States, China, Russia, France, Italy, Turkey, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and a number of Arab states. In 2025, the number of bilateral meetings at the level of heads of state and government exceeded 55, which indicates a growth in mutual trust with foreign partners.

Central Asia traditionally occupies a special place in Uzbekistan’s foreign policy strategy. In 2025, this priority received further institutional development. Uzbekistan chaired the Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia, with the chairmanship implemented for the first time on the basis of a comprehensive standalone program. Its agenda covered economic cooperation, transport connectivity, environmental issues, rational use of water resources, and humanitarian exchanges.

In summary, the outcomes of 2025 clearly demonstrate that Uzbekistan’s foreign policy has reached a high level of maturity, consistency, and effectiveness. The country not only strengthened its positions on the international stage but also successfully leveraged diplomatic instruments to support domestic development, enhance investment attractiveness, and improve the quality of life of its citizens. Uzbekistan concludes the year with an expanded network of partnerships, a robust legal and contractual framework, and a clear vision for the future - remaining open to the world and looking ahead with confidence and optimism.
