LONDON, February 18. /Dunyo IA/. The popular British news portal “London Post” has published an article titled “Strengthening the Peace Agenda: Uzbekistan aims to advance constructive initiatives within the Peace Council”, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The article notes that from 17 to 19 February, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev will visit the United States to participate in the inaugural session of the Peace Council. The author highlights that this new international body was established in January 2026 at the World Economic Forum in Davos as a multilateral platform for promoting dialogue and the peaceful resolution of regional conflicts.

The publication emphasizes that Uzbekistan is among the founding member states, reaffirming its commitment to the principles of peaceful diplomacy and international stability.

 “The establishment of the Peace Council represents a logical continuation of the international community’s efforts to develop effective mechanisms for conflict prevention and to seek political and diplomatic solutions to the most acute crises of our time, particularly in the Middle East. Uzbekistan’s participation in the creation of this structure reflects Tashkent’s consistent foreign policy course aimed at promoting dialogue, respect for international law, and the rejection of force-based scenarios. The country’s position on the Palestinian issue - grounded in support for a just and sustainable peace settlement in accordance with United Nations resolutions - has gained additional international resonance within the framework of this initiative”, - author writes.

The article emphasizes that in September of last year, President of Uzbekistan visited New York to attend a regular session of the United Nations General Assembly, where he held meetings with world leaders and heads of international organizations and discussed key issues on the global and regional agenda.

Further momentum was generated in early November 2025 during the Uzbek President’s working visit to the United States, which included talks with the U.S. President, as well as meetings with representatives of the American establishment, Congress, and business circles. The publication notes that particular attention during the visit was devoted to strategic partnership, economic cooperation, investment engagement and regional security, including the “C5+1” format, viewed by both sides as an effective mechanism for coordinating efforts in Central Asia.

The publication highlights that in Washington, a strong perception is taking shape of Uzbekistan as a reliable and predictable partner. It concludes that the visit will provide additional momentum for elevating Uzbek - American relations to a sustainably strategic level and for strengthening peace and stability on the international stage.
