Education, Science and Innovation – the Main Driver of Integration Among Turkic States
📅 13.05.2026
In the context of today’s global development, the competitiveness of states is determined прежде всего by their intellectual potential, modern education systems, scientific advancement, and innovative capabilities. In this regard, education, science, and innovation are gaining strategic importance in elevating cooperation among Turkic states to a fundamentally new level. These areas contribute not only to economic growth and human capital development, but also to strengthening spiritual closeness among peoples, creating a common civilizational space, and building a solid foundation for future progress.
In recent years, thanks to the efforts of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, an entirely new atmosphere has emerged in relations with the Turkic states. In particular, large-scale projects implemented in the fields of higher education, science, and innovation are gradually becoming a practical mechanism for Turkic integration. Today, hundreds of inter-university agreements, joint educational programs, academic exchanges, and research projects are being implemented with Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan.
Cooperation with Kazakhstan is among the most active areas in this regard. Currently, more than 280 agreements and memorandums are in force between higher education institutions of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. In recent years, student exchange between the two countries has increased significantly. In particular, during the 2025/2026 academic year, the number of Kazakh students studying at universities in Uzbekistan exceeded 1,000. At the same time, more than 5,500 Uzbek students are pursuing higher education in Kazakhstan.
The practice of opening branch campuses of universities has also marked a new stage in Turkic educational integration. The branch of South Kazakhstan University in Chirchiq and the branch of the National Research University “TIIAME” in Almaty are vivid examples of such important initiatives. These projects contribute not only to training qualified personnel, but also to developing common educational standards.
Cooperation with Kyrgyzstan is also developing consistently. In recent years, more than 90 agreements and memorandums have been signed between the universities of the two countries. In 2023, a forum of rectors was held in Osh, and in 2024 another forum took place in Samarkand, resulting in dozens of new agreements. These forums are becoming important platforms for shaping a common higher education space among the Turkic states.
Uzbekistan’s allocation of state grants for Kyrgyz youth is also of particular importance. Since 2021, 100 state grants have been allocated annually for citizens of Kyrgyzstan. This contributes to strengthening the integration of human capital through education.
In cooperation with Azerbaijan, cultural and educational initiatives occupy a special place. Universities of the two countries are implementing joint projects in philology, literature, arts, tourism, oil and gas studies, and medicine.
The operation of the Fuzuli Center for Azerbaijani Culture, Education and Research at the Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature, as well as the establishment of the Alisher Navoi Scientific Center in Baku, are vivid examples of the spiritual closeness between the two peoples. Such centers contribute to the in-depth study of the common literary and cultural heritage of the Turkic nations.
It should be emphasized that the joint study and promotion of the legacy of great ancestors plays an important role in strengthening the spiritual foundations of Turkic integration. In particular, the legacy of Alisher Navoi serves as a powerful spiritual bridge uniting Turkic peoples. On February 13, 2026, an international conference titled “Alisher Navoi — the Great Representative of Turkic Literature” was held at the TURKSOY headquarters in Ankara to mark the 585th anniversary of the poet’s birth. The event brought together representatives of science, literature, and diplomacy from across the Turkic world, as well as prominent scholars and cultural figures.
During the conference, TURKSOY Secretary General Sultan Raev described Navoi as the common conscience and civilizational symbol of the Turkic world. Discussions focused on researching Navoi’s works using modern scientific approaches, studying manuscripts, and expanding publishing and translation activities. In particular, the full publication of the “Khamsa” in Azerbaijani and the translation of “Mahbub ul-Qulub” into several Turkic languages demonstrate that Navoi’s legacy has become a shared spiritual treasure of the Turkic world.
As part of the conference, international scientific projects implemented by the Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature were presented. In addition, the awarding of TURKSOY medals to several Uzbek scholars and cultural figures for their contributions to Turkic culture and literature became a high recognition of spiritual cooperation.
Turkology occupies a special place in the scientific and cultural cooperation among Turkic states. The International Conference on Turkological Studies dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the First Turkological Congress, held on April 8, 2025, at Baku Slavic University, demonstrated that cooperation in this sphere is reaching a new level. The event brought together representatives of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, leaders of universities from Türkiye, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, prominent scholars, and a delegation from Namangan State University. Discussions focused on promising directions in Turkological research, the study of shared historical and cultural heritage, and the expansion of international academic cooperation.
Humanitarian and scientific cooperation with Turkmenistan is also developing harmoniously. Joint research, olympiads, international conferences, and scientific projects are regularly organized between Uzbek and Turkmen scholars. In particular, the launch of a joint scientific project competition and the financing of four joint research initiatives starting from 2024 are of great significance.
Cooperation with Türkiye has become one of the largest and most institutionalized dimensions of Turkic integration. In recent years, more than 200 cooperation agreements have been signed between higher education institutions of Uzbekistan and Türkiye. Dozens of new projects have also been launched within the framework of rectors’ forums between the two countries.
Joint educational programs, technoparks, and projects in engineering and high technologies are being implemented with leading Turkish universities. In particular, training courses on drone technologies organized in cooperation with the company TUSAŞ, the establishment of an innovative educational and industrial technopark based on the “Yildiz” technopark concept, and the activities of the branch campus of the Turkish University of Economics and Technology in Tashkent are creating a new model of Turkic innovation cooperation.
Today, the integration of Turkic states is no longer limited to cultural proximity or historical commonality. It is gaining new substance through innovation, startups, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, engineering, and scientific research. Joint scientific project competitions conducted between Uzbekistan and Türkiye in cooperation with TÜBİTAK are a practical manifestation of this process.
At the same time, initiatives are being advanced to strengthen academic mobility among Turkic states, ensure mutual recognition of diplomas and qualifications, create unified educational platforms, and establish scientific journals and research funds. Most importantly, these processes are driven by the idea of investing in human capital, educating younger generations on the basis of shared values, and ensuring intellectual unity. In the 21st century, the fate of nations is determined not by oil or gas, but by knowledge, technology, and innovation.
In this sense, cooperation in education, science, and innovation is becoming the most sustainable, promising, and powerful driver of integration among Turkic states. This process not only brings Turkic peoples closer together, but also contributes to the emergence of a new intellectual and technological center across the Eurasian region.
One of the important factors elevating Turkic integration to a new stage is the strengthening of institutional cooperation among higher education institutions. Uzbekistan’s chairmanship of the Union of Turkic Universities — TÜRKÜNİB — during 2025–2026, an organization uniting more than 100 universities, clearly demonstrates the country’s active and initiative-driven policy in this area.
On October 15, 2025, the 8th General Assembly of TÜRKÜNİB was held at Tashkent International University within the framework of the “Days of Turkic Science and Innovation.” The event was attended by the Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States, Kubanychbek Omuraliev, President of the Turkic Academy Shahin Mustafayev, representatives of the OTS and TURKSOY leadership, university rectors, scholars, and representatives of international organizations. Around 200 delegates from 69 universities of Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary, Northern Cyprus, and Uzbekistan participated in the Assembly.
During the event, the results of the “TurkBarometer” project were presented, and socio-political processes and integration trends within the Turkic states were discussed. Meetings held in the U2U — “University-to-University” — format served as a practical platform for establishing new inter-university partnerships.
Today, one of the important institutional platforms contributing to the formation of a unified academic space among Turkic states is the International University of Turkic States established in Tashkent. The university operates with the aim of deepening cooperation in education, science, and innovation among Turkic countries, training modern specialists, and developing joint scientific research.
The university’s academic programs, governance model, and educational processes are being developed based on the principles of mutual integration among Turkic states. In addition, the institution serves as an important platform for expanding academic exchange among faculty members and students, as well as for implementing joint educational programs and scientific projects.
Integration among Turkic states is no longer confined solely to education and science. Youth policy, student exchange, and sports diplomacy are also becoming important components of this process. In particular, at the 3rd Turkic States Universiade held in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, in September 2025, the Uzbek delegation participated with 80 student-athletes across seven sports disciplines. These competitions contribute to strengthening friendship and solidarity among the youth of Turkic countries, fostering a healthy competitive environment, and developing a shared youth space.
Today, cooperation among Turkic states in the fields of education, science, and innovation is becoming one of the key drivers of common development. Relations strengthened through universities, scientific centers, academic platforms, and youth initiatives are helping to unite the intellectual potential of the Turkic world.
Importantly, these processes are not limited to current interests or short-term projects. Their significance lies in the creation of a common space of knowledge and development for future generations. Convergence in science, innovation, and modern technologies plays a crucial role in enhancing the international competitiveness of Turkic states.
Today, the intellectual cooperation developing among Turkic states is bringing not only universities and research institutions closer together, but also the peoples themselves. This creates an opportunity to build a new model of modern development based on shared history and spiritual heritage.
In this regard, education, science, and innovation are becoming the strongest spiritual and intellectual bridge connecting the common future of the Turkic states.

Uzbekistan’s cooperation with the ADB: From infrastructure financing to an expanded strategic partnership
📅 02.05.2026
From 3 to 6 May 2026, Samarkand will host the 59th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The event is expected to bring together heads of banking and financial institutions from 69 member countries, as well as representatives of international organizations. Discussions will focus on the key development challenges facing the countries of Asia and possible ways to address them.
The holding of such a high-level forum in Uzbekistan reflects the growing recognition of the country’s ongoing economic reforms and the strengthening of its position within the global financial system. A significant factor has also been the notable expansion of cooperation between Uzbekistan and the ADB in recent years, as evidenced by a number of objective international assessments of the country’s socio-economic development.
First, there has been a steady rise in Uzbekistan’s international standing and stronger performance in global rankings. In particular, in the Government Technology Maturity Index published by the World Bank, the country advanced by 71 positions, entering the world’s top ten.
Second, despite continuing disruptions in global production and transport-logistics chains, rising commodity prices, and tighter financial conditions, Uzbekistan continues to demonstrate устойчивый economic growth. In 2025, for the first time in the country’s history, gross domestic product exceeded USD 145 billion, while gold and foreign exchange reserves surpassed USD 60 billion.
At the same time, the volume of attracted foreign investment increased significantly, reaching USD 43.1 billion, while the share of investment in GDP exceeded 31 percent. Moreover, despite growing protectionism and sanctions pressure in the global trading system, the republic increased exports by 23 percent, bringing them to USD 33.4 billion.
Third, cooperation between Uzbekistan and the ADB is comprehensive and long-term in nature. The total portfolio of joint initiatives amounts to 174 projects worth USD 27.5 billion, of which 66 projects worth USD 10.5 billion have already been completed, while another 30 projects valued at USD 4.6 billion are currently under implementation. These figures confirm the ADB’s status as one of Uzbekistan’s leading development partners.
Building on accumulated experience, the ADB launched a new five-year partnership strategy with Uzbekistan in August 2024 for the period 2024–2028. Its key priorities include supporting the republic’s transition toward a green and inclusive economy, enhancing private sector competitiveness, and stimulating investment in human capital.
In addition, Uzbekistan and the ADB approved a Memorandum of Understanding for 2026–2028, which envisages the implementation of 28 projects with a total value of USD 4.2 billion.
The fact that the meeting is being held in Uzbekistan positions the country as a regional hub for dialogue on development and investment, demonstrates the progress of reforms, and contributes to attracting global partners to accelerate the country’s sustainable development. According to experts, the meeting will serve as an important platform for strengthening cooperation and concluding priority agreements between the Government of Uzbekistan and the ADB.
Furthermore, in order to consolidate long-term priorities, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev put forward an initiative to mark the Samarkand summit with the signing of an important document — the Expanded Strategic Partnership Programme with the ADB for 2027–2030. It will serve as a medium-term roadmap, with primary emphasis placed on human capital and social resilience.
Thus, cooperation between Uzbekistan and the ADB has evolved from financial assistance into a strategic partnership. Today, the Bank finances key projects, shapes the reform agenda, and supports the long-term transformation of the national economy, effectively acting as an institutional partner.
Such cooperation opens a number of significant advantages for Uzbekistan:
Economic – access to concessional loans and grants, reduced budgetary burden in implementing large-scale programmes, improvement of the investment climate and inflow of long-term foreign investment, infrastructure development, and employment growth;
Structural – acceleration of market reforms, liberalization and diversification of the economy, and private sector development;
Strategic – integration into the global economy, transition to a green growth model, and participation in regional value chains and transport-logistics corridors.
As can be seen, the modern ADB agenda largely coincides with Uzbekistan’s current reform trajectory. According to experts, the republic has synchronized its national strategy with the Bank’s priorities and, as a result, can attract even greater volumes of financing to accelerate structural reforms and strengthen economic resilience.
Overall, the key features of the modern model of cooperation between Uzbekistan and the ADB are: comprehensiveness (covering all major sectors), strategic orientation (alignment with the long-term goals of “Uzbekistan–2030”), institutional depth (reforms, regulation, standards), and sustainability (environmental protection and inclusiveness).
Thus, today the ADB is not merely a creditor, but a key strategic partner participating in structural reforms, economic modernization, and Uzbekistan’s integration into global economic processes.

Matters on strengthening security and defense discussed
📅 24.02.2025
On February 21, under the chairmanship of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Shavkat Mirziyoyev a meeting was held on strengthening military security and defense capacity of the state.
The meeting was attended by members of the Security Council, heads of ministries and departments within the Armed Forces of Uzbekistan, commanders of military districts, as well as the chairmen of the Jokargy Kenges and the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, regional and Tashkent city khokims, as well as responsible persons of local authorities in the videoconference format.
At the beginning of the meeting, the adopted measures on strengthening the country's defense capacity and their results were reviewed, certain shortcomings in this work were pointed out.
It was noted that the national army is being equipped with modern weapons and equipment, the level of combat and moral-psychological training of servicemen has significantly increased.
In view of international experience and the analyses carried out, new combat units have been formed to prevent and eliminate internal and external threats, and the organizational structure of the troops has been optimized.
It was underlined that the creation of a new system of modernization and modern equipment of the army continues - the defense industry is developing and additional enterprises have been set up. The Armed Forces of Uzbekistan have established bilateral military cooperation with more than 20 countries and successfully participated in more than 400 joint exercises.
The infrastructure of higher military schools within the Armed Forces has been completely modernized, their curricula and methodology brought in line with modern requirements.
The social and legal protection of servicemen and their families has been strengthened. In particular, about 30,000 families have been provided with housing, and more than 2,000 children of servicemen have received benefits when enrolling in higher educational institutions.
Military administrative sectors, government and public organizations are involved in creating favourable conditions for homeland defenders. Attention to the issues of educating young people in the spirit of patriotism and initial pre-conscription military training in schools is being intensified.
The meeting identified priority tasks for 2025 and subsequent years.
The need to consider contemporary armed conflicts, existing threats to national security and the peculiarities of the theater of military operations when planning for the further development of the army was emphasized.
It has been indicated that artificial intelligence, robotic systems, missiles, drones and means of countering them are widely used in today's regional conflicts. In this connection, it has been instructed to create new units in the armed forces to combat drones, use robotic equipment, air defense, and cyber structures utilizing artificial intelligence technologies.
The Supreme Commander-in-Chief emphasized the need to further improve the combat readiness of the army, raise the level of combat training, create a unified automated troop management system using artificial intelligence technologies, as well as introduce dual training in military education and training of military personnel.

Regional Approaches to SDG Delivery: What Can Central Asia Offer?
📅 05.09.2026
Ahead of the 81st session of the U.N. General Assembly and the 2026 SDG Moment, regional mechanisms for implementing the Sustainable Development Goals are gaining new relevance.
Jakhongir Isaev
The 81st session of the U.N. General Assembly opens on Sept. 8, while world leaders will gather for the SDG Moment on Sept. 18. These events will once again focus attention on how to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals in the limited time remaining before 2030.
The U.N.’s 2026 Sustainable Development Goals Report shows that of 139 targets with sufficient trend data, only 36% are on track or making moderate progress. The report emphasizes the need for more investment, technology, data and international cooperation. At the same time, many of the most difficult development challenges are regional, while the main delivery mechanisms remain largely national.
Water basins, electricity grids, transport corridors, air pollution, climate risks and labor markets do not stop at national borders. National plans therefore increasingly need to be complemented by regional coordination, shared data, financing instruments and accountability mechanisms.
Central Asia is beginning to accumulate practical experience in this direction. It would be misleading to present the region as a finished model: serious water, infrastructure and institutional challenges remain. Yet several initiatives advanced in 2026 indicate how a regional layer of SDG implementation can take shape.
In April, the U.N. General Assembly adopted Resolution 80/260 on strengthening regional cooperation and economic integration for sustainable development in Central Asia. Supported by the five Central Asian states and 66 co-sponsors, the resolution calls for closer coordination among countries and for U.N. agencies, funds and programs to align their work around regional priorities.
The practical value of this approach is that country programs run by international organizations can be linked around common cross-border outcomes. Water efficiency, clean electricity trade or better transport connectivity can become measurable regional missions around which national reforms and development-partner resources are coordinated.
Energy is already moving in that direction. In January, the World Bank approved the first phase of the Regional Electricity Market Interconnectivity and Trade program. The 10-year initiative aims to establish Central Asia’s first regional electricity market, expand transmission capacity and enable larger-scale renewable-energy integration.
Water cooperation provides another important example. The World Bank estimates that limited coordination among national water systems costs Central Asia more than $4.5 billion a year. In July, it approved a regional project through the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea to strengthen transboundary water management, digitize water accounting and prepare joint infrastructure investments. Around 40 million people are expected to benefit directly or indirectly.
Regional cooperation inevitably requires countries to reconcile different interests — between upstream and downstream states, electricity exporters and importers, transit economies and landlocked countries. For that reason, an effective model also needs mechanisms for benefit-sharing, dispute resolution and transparent monitoring.
Central Asia’s emerging experience suggests four practical lessons for the wider SDG system. First, regional cooperation should focus on specific and measurable missions. Second, multilateral development banks could expand regional financing instruments that reward joint delivery. Third, common standards and interoperable data platforms should be treated as part of regional public infrastructure. Fourth, the U.N. development system can align more of its country-level support around common regional results when dealing with transboundary challenges.
Such an approach does not weaken national sovereignty. On the contrary, it gives governments additional tools to address problems that cannot be solved effectively by one country alone. Regional cooperation also does not replace global cooperation; it serves as an important bridge between global goals and national implementation.
The 2026 SDG Moment emphasizes scaling solutions that have demonstrated results. The mechanisms now emerging in Central Asia are relevant from this perspective because they point to the need to scale not only individual projects, but also the institutions that connect countries, budgets, data and accountability.
In the next phase of the SDGs, greater attention should therefore be given to strengthening practical delivery mechanisms. For many cross-border challenges, regional cooperation can be one of the most effective levels at which this work is organized.

The 5th Samarkand Forum on Human Rights to take place on September 28–29th
📅 25.09.2026
The main idea of the Forum is to strengthen global cooperation for the promotion of human dignity, equality and sustainable development
On September 28–29th, 2026, Tashkent and Samarkand will host the 5th Samarkand Forum on Human Rights - an authoritative international platform for expert dialogue on pressing issues regarding the protection and promotion of human rights, sustainable development and international cooperation.
Theme of the 5th Samarkand Forum is “60 Years of the International Covenants on Human Rights and 40 Years of the Declaration on the Right to Development: A Global Partnership for Dignity, Equality and Sustainable Development”.
Active preparations for the forum are currently underway in Uzbekistan. The event is expected to bring together representatives of international organizations, state bodies, national human rights institutions, leading experts, scholars and civil society representatives from various countries around the world.
Over the past 10 years, at the initiative of our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, holding Samarkand forums dedicated to the most pressing issues in the field of human rights in New Uzbekistan has become a good tradition.
Therefore, it is not without reason that in the addresses of our Head of State, first of all, it was recognized that the Asian Forum on Human Rights, held for the first time in our country in 2018, brought a unique “Samarkand spirit” to world practice.
The 5th Samarkand Forum is timed to coincide with significant anniversary dates in the history of the international system for the protection of human rights.
The year 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of the adoption of two foundational documents of the United Nations - International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which were adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 16th, 1966.
In addition, this year marks the 40th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Right to Development, which enshrined the right of individuals and peoples to participate in, contribute to and benefit from economic, social, cultural and political development.
Main idea of the Forum is to strengthen global cooperation for the promotion of human dignity, equality and sustainable development.
Holding of the Samarkand Forum in a year when important anniversary dates are celebrated demonstrates Uzbekistan’s consistent commitment to international standards in the field of human rights and its desire to make a practical contribution to the development of global dialogue on human rights confirms.

The Seoul Summit: Uzbekistan in the New Industrial Architecture of C5+1
📅 24.08.2026
The upcoming first “Central Asia – Republic of Korea” Summit in Seoul gives the C5+1 format a more substantive economic dimension. The new agenda focuses on industrial modernization, infrastructure, critical minerals and energy, human capital development, and private-sector participation. An important institutional basis for this work is provided by a dedicated consultative mechanism of industry ministers, aimed at maintaining regular sectoral dialogue, identifying joint initiatives, and developing a list of priority projects.
In this way, the national industrial priorities of Central Asian countries have an opportunity to be aligned with the technological and investment capabilities of the Republic of Korea at the level of specific production chains. Technology, infrastructure, financing, and markets come together here as an integrated system for implementing major joint initiatives.
The potential of this model is particularly evident in the case of Uzbekistan. Relations between Tashkent and Seoul have held the status of a special strategic partnership since 2019, while the accumulated volume of direct Korean investment in Uzbekistan’s economy has exceeded USD 8 billion. In January–June 2026, bilateral trade approached USD 1 billion, increasing by 11.5 percent.
Behind these figures lies an already established technological foundation for the partnership. Joint centers are operating in Uzbekistan in the textile industry, rare metals and alloys, agricultural machinery, and e-government, while cooperation in chemical technologies and construction is also developing. This network creates sustainable channels for the transfer of engineering solutions, practical knowledge, and production experience.
The accumulated foundation makes it possible to focus Uzbekistan’s C5+1 agenda on further developing processing, localization, technological upgrading, and the production of high-value-added goods. At the same time, the regional format expands the range of potential partners and connections between enterprises of Central Asian countries and Korean businesses.
One of the most promising areas is related to critical minerals. Cooperation covers the entire technological chain — geological exploration, processing, refining, and the development of value-added production. Under such a model, Central Asia’s mineral resource base becomes a starting point for deepening technological ties and creating new industries within the region.
Uzbekistan already has a concrete foundation in this area. The Uzbek-Korean Scientific and Technological Center for Rare Metals and Alloys is operating in the country. Its potential makes it possible to develop cooperation in materials science, processing technologies, research, and specialist training, with prospects for their further industrial application.
The development of more sophisticated industries simultaneously increases infrastructure requirements. Within the C5+1 agenda, this area includes energy, industrial complexes, transport and logistics, urban infrastructure, as well as the entire life cycle of major projects — from planning and construction to modernization and operation. For investors, this means the opportunity to consider an industrial site together with the necessary energy, engineering, and logistics solutions.
Uzbek-Korean cooperation already has a financial foundation for implementing projects of this scale. The cooperation program between Uzbekistan and the Economic Development and Cooperation Fund of the Republic of Korea (EDCF) for 2024–2027 has been established at USD 2 billion. At the same time, a new portfolio of initiatives is being developed, and financing mechanisms without state guarantees and on the basis of public-private partnerships are being explored.
The expansion of available financial instruments creates greater space for commercially viable projects, private capital, and long-term partnerships between companies. This is particularly important for industrial and infrastructure cooperation with long investment cycles, where the financing structure largely determines the possibilities for project implementation and subsequent expansion.
As production becomes increasingly technologically sophisticated, requirements for skilled specialists also grow. The development of professional skills and human capital is among the priorities of the C5+1 industrial mechanism. Uzbekistan already has a practical foundation in this area: four vocational education centers established with the participation of the Korea International Cooperation Agency are operating in Tashkent, Fergana, Shakhrisabz, and Samarkand, while another center is under construction in Urgench.
Further development of this model largely moves to the company level. It is here that technologies and accumulated knowledge are transformed into new production facilities, while sectoral priorities become investment decisions and commercial products. Therefore, the private sector, financial institutions, and research organizations play an important role in C5+1 industrial cooperation.
The development of a list of priority projects gives this work practical consistency. Such an instrument makes it possible to link promising areas with specific partners and sources of financing and to support their advancement between meetings of the industrial mechanism.
Uzbekistan is entering the new regional architecture with a substantial practical foundation: many of its elements are already functioning within bilateral cooperation with Korea. Investment is combined with technological centers, financial programs, a specialist training system, and experience in implementing complex projects. C5+1 makes it possible to bring this foundation to a broader level by connecting the national capabilities of Central Asian countries through new production linkages.
This is where the main economic potential of the Seoul Summit for Uzbekistan lies. The special strategic partnership with the Republic of Korea is gaining a regional dimension through deeper processing, technological localization, new production facilities, and access of finished products to new foreign markets. The accumulated Uzbek-Korean experience is becoming one of the practical elements of the industrial architecture of C5+1, strengthening Uzbekistan’s role in the Republic of Korea’s technological and industrial partnership with Central Asia.
President participates in the session of the Legislative Chamber
📅 19.11.2024
On November 18, the first session of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan after the elections was held in Tashkent.
It was attended by President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
The session was opened by Chairman of the Central Election Commission Zayniddin Nizamkhodzhaev.
The National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan was played.
Temporary Secretariat of the first session, Counting Commission and temporary group on control over the use of electronic vote counting system were elected. The agenda was approved. The CEC Chairman presented information on the results of the elections to the Legislative Chamber.
On the proposal of the Council of Representatives of Political Parties, deputies elected Nuriddin Ismoilov to the post of Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis by secret ballot.
Then the chairmanship of the session passed to the Speaker. Deputy Speakers were elected. The factions of five political parties were registered. Ten committees of the Legislative Chamber were established in accordance with their agreed proposals.
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev addressed the session.
At the beginning of his speech, the Head of State congratulated the deputies on their election, emphasizing that this is the embodiment of high trust and respect of our people.
It was emphasized that the current parliamentary elections have entered the history as being the first ones held in accordance with the updated Constitution. This process was conducted for the first time under a mixed electoral system.
As a result of the elections, 150 deputies were elected to the Legislative Chamber. Among them were 57 women and 11 young people under 35 years of age. Overall, the composition of the lower house was renewed by almost 60 percent.
The activities of the Chamber over the past five years were discussed. During this period, the Constitution has been updated and more than 130 new laws have been adopted, which is 1.5 times more than in the previous period.
The President also drew attention to the issues that remained out of parliamentary attention. For example, the share of laws with direct action and clear enforcement mechanisms remains low. Parliamentary and deputy control is still not effective enough. The activity of deputies in constituencies is mostly limited to organizing meetings, answering complaints and questions.
The Head of State outlined his vision of the new tasks ahead of the Legislative Chamber.
In particular, it was proposed to create public councils under each committee with the participation of representatives of civil society to strengthen the dialogue.
It is important to establish not only control and requirements in the work of parliamentary committees, but also close cooperation with ministries. It is also necessary to strengthen party and fractional discipline.
The President emphasized that lawmaking, primarily, should be aimed at solving urgent problems of society, and put forward a number of legislative initiatives. Among them are the construction of modern residential buildings replacing outdated ones, guaranteeing the protection of citizens' funds allocated for housing construction, support for private education and investors in the energy sector, introduction of compulsory health insurance, creation of a legal framework for franchising, capital market and startups, and relations arising in the field of artificial intelligence.
In order to boost the opposition, it was proposed to increase the number of guaranteed rights of the parliamentary opposition from 3 to 6, including giving it the positions of one committee chairman and two deputy committee chairmen, as well as additional rights to submit questions within the framework of the “government hour” and parliamentary inquiries.
Particular attention was paid to the need to transition to a system of broad, high-quality parliamentary control. In particular, in accordance with the updated Constitution, the control over the execution of the State Budget is the exclusive competence of the Legislative Chamber. In this regard, it is necessary to strengthen the work of the Chamber in this direction, including the introduction of the practice of submitting all reports of the Government on the State Budget to the Chamber only together with the audit report provided for by the Budget Code.
- A deputy is a servant of the people, a model for all, a person with a high level of political culture and knowledge, who sincerely loves his homeland. Our people, all of us, above all rely on you to strengthen peace, mutual understanding and harmony in the family, mahalla and society, to educate the youth in the spirit of patriotism, to defend the interests of Uzbekistan in the international arena, - said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Heads of political party factions and deputies addressed the session. The President supported their views, urged the deputies to work harder and be closer to the people.
- The voice of a deputy is the voice of the people. If you consider every issue concerning the fate of the country and first of all see our hardworking, generous and noble people in front of you, if you act thinking not only about today, but also about peace and happiness of future generations, then our people will be satisfied with you, - emphasized the Head of State.
The Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis adopted resolutions on the agenda.
How candidates are selected in Uzbekistan through a single portal of vacancies of state bodies and organizations

How candidates are selected in Uzbekistan through a single portal of vacancies of state bodies and organizations
In Uzbekistan, electronic document management systems are being implemented, the range of public services is expanding, human resource management processes are being optimized, and a unified public sector ecosystem is being developed through integration and other measures.
In recent years we have seen the adoption of several key strategies, including the National Strategy of Action on Five Priority Directions of Development of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021, the "Digital Uzbekistan - 2030" Strategy, the "New Uzbekistan Development Strategy for 2022-2026," and the "Uzbekistan - 2030" Strategy. These strategies aim to drive digital transformation across the national economy, industry, and society as a whole.
Digitalization has also impacted the public civil service. Notably, the decree of the President of Uzbekistan "On measures for the radical improvement of personnel policy and the system of public civil service in the Republic of Uzbekistan" dated October 3, 2019, established the Agency for the Development of Public Service under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan (ARGOS). ARGOS is responsible for implementing a unified state policy in personnel management and human resource development within state bodies and organizations.
ARGOS was tasked with implementing innovative personnel management and human resource development methods based on principles of openness, professionalism, and accountability. This includes introducing a system of measurable indicators (key performance indicators) for evaluating public civil servants and analyzing their performance, systematically identifying and attracting qualified specialists (including those abroad), and widely involving talented youth and women in public service. Additionally, ARGOS organizes an open, competitive selection process for the most promising personnel in public service.
Including the implementation of an open, independent competitive selection system announced through a single portal for public vacancies (vacancy.argos.uz). Previously, entering public service required visiting various agencies, submitting resumes, and waiting for responses.
Today, candidates can log into their personal account on the vacancies portal, select a suitable position, and submit an application. The platform provides information on the candidate's status and upcoming selection stages. The open competitive selection involves stages such as application acceptance, verification of qualification requirements, testing, and interviews. Not all candidates pass all stages on their first attempt.
The competitive selection process is based on meritocracy, ensuring that only the most deserving candidates are chosen, thus promoting transparency and fairness.
As of now, more than 188,000 competitive selections have been announced on the vacancy.argos.uz platform, with over 2.9 million applications submitted and 69,163 candidates successfully hired.
Another significant change in state personnel administration is the formation and management of the National Personnel Reserve using modern information systems. ARGOS is responsible for this task, and continuous work is underway to develop and enrich the National Personnel Reserve.
Managing the National Personnel Reserve involves more than just record-keeping; it includes comprehensive measures to prepare personnel for managerial roles. Each person in the Reserve receives an individual development plan for the certain period of time, which includes professional development courses and internships in public bodies. Candidates should regularly report on their progress, providing additional insights into their suitability for managerial positions.
All these activities are managed through the unified information portals: my.argos.uz for personal users, hrm.argos.uz for personnel departments of ministries and agencies, kadrlar.argos.uz for ARGOS performance monitoring, and zaxira.argos.uz for individual performance data and activities.
A third key change is reflected in the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On measures to improve the human resource management system in Republican and local executive bodies" dated September 22, 2023. It stipulates that from November 1, 2023, all information and documents related to human resource management in these bodies will be maintained on the electronic platform hrm.argos.uz.
Starting from this date, all ministries and agencies are required to conduct personnel administration documentation exclusively on hrm.argos.uz. This new system enables comprehensive monitoring and analysis of personnel management, providing accurate information on vacancies, employee numbers, career movements, and compliance with public service legislation.
Ultimately, this platform acts as a mirror, reflecting both the successes and shortcomings of personnel management departments, allowing ARGOS to respond promptly, prevent, and address issues in public civil service.
In conclusion, digital technologies play a crucial role in development and should be a primary focus for building a sustainable economic and public sector. Expanded digitalization and digital transformation, along with investments in the digital ecosystem, IT infrastructure, and electronic services, will drive further modernization of the national public service system and accelerate growth in various sectors.
Initiatives of Uzbekistan open new opportunities for cooperation among Turkic states
📅 02.11.2026
In an interview with Dunyo IA, Bakhtiyor Mustafayev, Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic and Regional Studies under the President of Uzbekistan (ISRS), commented on the outcomes of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's participation in the Summit of the Organization of Turkic States, held in Ankara on October 30th, 2026.
Uzbekistan became a full member in 2019. What place does the OTS occupy in our country’s foreign policy today, and how has the economic dimension of cooperation evolved?
— The importance of this area of cooperation is clearly reflected in trade trends. According to various estimates, Uzbekistan’s trade with OTS countries, including observer states Turkmenistan and Hungary, increased from US$4.13 billion in 2017 to US$10.82 billion in 2025, approximately a 2.6-fold increase. Growth continued in January–July 2026, reaching 19.8% compared with the same period of the previous year. This shows that historical and cultural affinities are increasingly reinforced by economic ties. At the same time, expanding trade increases the need for joint manufacturing ventures, affordable financing, and coordinated transport and legal procedures.
The initiatives put forward by the President of Uzbekistan in Ankara address precisely these needs. For Tashkent, the OTS is becoming a platform for combining the capabilities of national economies and jointly addressing challenges that are difficult for any one country to tackle alone. The next stage requires more advanced processing of raw materials, the adoption of technologies, and joint efforts to enter international markets with finished products. The Organization’s practical value will grow as expanding trade is accompanied by the development of lasting production chains and new jobs.
President proposed launching cooperation in the “OTS Plus” format, beginning with meetings of sectoral ministers. To what extent can the economic scale of the Turkic states attract interest from external partners?
— According to the 2025 annual edition of the Turkic Economic Review, the combined GDP of member and observer states amounted to US$2.11 trillion, while their combined foreign trade turnover with countries worldwide stood at US$1.12 trillion. Potential partners are interested in the combination of market size, the resource base, and the countries’ location along transport routes.
Engagement at the sectoral level can translate this interest into concrete agreements. Ministers can agree on the terms for external investors’ participation in a manufacturing project, the development of a transport route, or the provision of technology. For Uzbekistan, it is particularly important that cooperation with third countries should help increase the technological sophistication of production and expand export markets. An open format also makes it possible to combine OTS countries’ raw material resources and manufacturing capabilities with external partners’ technology, equipment, and financing. In this way, demand for joint projects will strengthen the Organization’s international standing.
President proposed the “Turkic World – 100” programme, covering one hundred strategic investment and industrial projects. What financial resources are already available to support its implementation?
— The Organization is already developing its own financial infrastructure. According to information published on the Turkic Investment Fund’s official website, its authorised capital amounts to US$600 million. The agreement establishing the Fund was signed in 2023, and it announced the launch of its operations in 2025. Its priorities include industry, infrastructure, renewable energy, and support for entrepreneurship. The programme of one hundred projects can therefore draw on an existing institution capable of combining its own resources with financing from international banks and private investors.
However, the Fund’s capital should not be regarded as the budget for the entire programme. Its most useful role is to help develop sound projects, reduce risks at the initial financing stage, and attract co-investors. The areas proposed by the President, including the processing of rare and strategic minerals and the domestic production of equipment for green energy, require precisely this approach. Project selection must involve assessments of demand, technology costs, and investment returns. For Uzbekistan, the outcomes should be new capabilities and more advanced processing; for its partners, economically viable participation in shared production chains.
Why has the President proposed a treaty on mutual legal assistance in commercial matters as business ties expand? How large is the business community whose interests it would protect?
— We are already talking about thousands of enterprises. According to the National Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as of 1 January 2026, there were 2,137 enterprises with Turkish capital and 1,212 with Kazakh capital operating in our country. These two OTS states alone accounted for 3,349 enterprises. Behind these figures are supply contracts, loans, investment commitments, and property relations.
As business relationships become more complex, the cost of legal uncertainty rises. Entrepreneurs need to understand how to protect their right to pursue a claim, obtain the necessary documents, and enforce a court judgment when a counterparty or its assets are abroad. The proposed treaty could make these procedures more predictable, while the digital exchange of requests could reduce the time needed for cooperation between the competent authorities. This would be particularly significant for small and medium-sized businesses, which find it difficult to maintain legal teams in several countries. Reliable legal protection can support further investment and reduce the costs of cross-border transactions.
What could the proposed Network of Logistics Complexes of Turkic States offer as traffic along the Middle Corridor increases? Why is joint management necessary?
— Growing freight volumes are already making coordination an economic necessity. According to the report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor in Central Asia, freight volumes along the Middle Corridor exceeded 4.7 million tonnes in 2025. The report also highlights persistent infrastructure and organisational constraints. As volumes increase, the effects of poorly coordinated schedules, terminal congestion, and duplicate paperwork become more pronounced. A delay on one section disrupts the entire route.
Joint management of the network could ensure coordinated service standards, the exchange of cargo data, and advance booking of terminal capacity. For businesses, the results are measured in the overall cost and predictability of delivery. Uzbekistan has an interest in ensuring that logistics complexes connect domestic enterprises to international markets and provide additional services, including storage, packaging, sorting, and product processing. This would generate revenue at different stages of transportation. Under this model, the Middle Corridor and connecting routes become a basis for locating production facilities and supporting regional development, rather than serving solely as transit routes.
What tourism potential underpins the proposal for a Turkic Tourism Alliance? How significant are travel flows between Uzbekistan and other OTS countries?
— At the summit, the President noted that the Turkic states welcomed more than 100 million international tourists in 2025. Uzbekistan is also recording rapid growth. According to the National Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the number of foreign visitors arriving for tourism purposes reached 11.7 million in 2025, an increase of 46.8% over the previous year. Of these, 3.3 million came from Kyrgyzstan, 2.7 million from Kazakhstan, and 174,900 from Türkiye. These three countries alone accounted for approximately 6.2 million visits. In the other direction, citizens of Uzbekistan made 3.3 million trips for tourism purposes to Kyrgyzstan, 1.3 million to Kazakhstan, and 268,900 to Türkiye.
These flows provide a substantial basis for cooperation, although statistics on travel for tourism purposes also include visits to relatives and other types of trips. The alliance’s task is to expand demand for comprehensive tourism itineraries spanning several countries and to promote them jointly in international markets. The proposed agreement on mutual travel by citizens and the wider use of ID cards could make travel easier to arrange. For Uzbekistan, this offers an opportunity to encourage longer stays and increase demand for hotels, guide services, handicrafts, and local cuisine. It is important that growth in visitor numbers should generate more income for businesses in the regions.
President expressed readiness to provide 200 scholarships annually to young people from the Turkic states. What existing cooperation does this initiative build on?
— Educational cooperation already involves concrete activities. According to Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, four universities in Uzbekistan, together with two Turkish universities, are delivering six bachelor’s degree programmes in the 2025/2026 academic year, with 718 students enrolled. Nearly 300 lecturers and researchers have participated in exchanges over the past five years. Of more than 400 applications submitted to joint research calls with TÜBİTAK, 53 projects have been recommended for funding. The proposed 200 annual scholarships under the “New Uzbekistan Scholarship” programme are intended to extend this work to young people across the Turkic states.
It is now important to connect the training of specialists more closely with industrial and technological priorities. The scholarships can support the training of engineers, researchers, and logistics specialists needed for joint projects. Internships at enterprises and business involvement in defining research tasks will help graduates apply their knowledge in production. The value of exchanges also extends beyond an individual degree. They create a professional community whose members are familiar with their partners’ languages and business cultures. These ties facilitate subsequent cooperation between universities and enterprises and provide a skilled workforce for long-term collaboration.
Ankara summit supported the initiative to declare 2027 the Year of Nature Protection, and a Dictionary of Common Turkic Words was proposed. How can environmental and cultural cooperation deliver practical results?
— Uzbekistan can share its experience in environmental protection with its partners. According to information released by the Press Service of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on 6 July 2026, new forest plantations covering more than 2 million hectares have been established on the dried bed of the Aral Sea. The country’s green cover increased from 8% in 2020 to 14.3% in 2025. Work on this scale provides a basis for discussing specific technologies for land restoration, the cultivation of drought-tolerant plants, and the monitoring of planted areas. The Year of Nature Protection could provide a framework for joint pilot sites, the exchange of scientific data, and specialist training in climate adaptation.
Cultural cooperation can also build on existing ties. For example, Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation has reported that more than 5,000 students in Uzbekistan have chosen Turkish as their second foreign language. A Dictionary of Common Turkic Words could be a useful resource for these students, as well as for teachers and translators. A digital edition, examples of usage, and accessible learning materials would enhance its practical value. The scholarly task is to reflect shared roots and differences in meaning accurately. This would combine the preservation of heritage with easier everyday communication and educational exchanges.
How do you assess the overall outcomes of the Ankara summit? What should be the main criterion for judging the effectiveness of the mechanisms proposed by Uzbekistan?
— Ankara Declaration adopted at the summit set out shared priorities for further cooperation. The initiatives build on a substantial existing portfolio of investment projects. In 2026, work is under way on 280 projects involving partners from OTS countries, including Turkmenistan and Hungary, with a total value of US$17.24 billion. Investment in these projects amounted to US$3.84 billion in January–August. The proposed mechanisms are therefore important primarily as a means of supporting the preparation and implementation of concrete projects.
The main criterion will be how the conditions for cooperation change for businesses and citizens. In industry, this means launching production and adopting technologies; in transport, lower costs and reliable deliveries; and in the legal sphere, access to protection for commercial interests. Educational and tourism initiatives should expand opportunities for people and increase business income. Implementing the proposals put forward in Ankara will require agreement on project parameters and sources of financing. Their common purpose is to create institutions that enable more reliable investment, production, and trade. It is these practical benefits that will strengthen the resilience of the partnership within the OTS.

ON THE STATUS OF THE HOST COUNTRY AND A NEW PHASE OF INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL COOPERATION
📅 12.08.2026
Sport represents one of the most effective instruments for enhancing a nation’s image and visibility on the global stage. A country that consistently prioritizes the development of this sector achieves sustainable and measurable results over time. Such achievements are reflected through the dedication, professionalism, and patriotism of its citizens. At the same time, success in this field requires not only talent and perseverance, but also comprehensive state support and an enabling institutional environment. Under these conditions, the younger generation is empowered to pursue its goals with confidence and determination.
Occasions when the national flag is raised and the national anthem is performed at international arenas serve as profound expressions of national pride and dignity. In this context, sport constitutes an important unifying factor that embodies shared values and collective aspirations.
The World Nomad Games represent a unique international sports and cultural initiative that reflects these principles. Since their inception in 2014 in the Kyrgyz Republic, the Games have steadily evolved into a significant international platform. Subsequent editions held in 2016 and 2018 in Kyrgyzstan, as well as in 2022 in the Republic of Türkiye, have demonstrated consistent growth in both scale and international recognition.
The forthcoming hosting of the VI World Nomad Games in the Republic of Uzbekistan constitutes a major milestone. This event not only represents an important development in the field of sport, but also serves as a clear indication of the country’s growing international standing and engagement.
It should be emphasized that the World Nomad Games extend beyond the framework of sporting competition. They represent an integrated platform combining sport, culture, and knowledge. In this regard, Uzbekistan’s role as the host country provides an opportunity to present its rich historical heritage and cultural identity to the international community in a contemporary and compelling manner. The territory of Uzbekistan has historically been a crossroads of civilizations, where diverse cultures, traditions, and peoples have interacted for centuries.
Ancient caravan routes, equestrian traditions, national wrestling, and elements of oral heritage constitute an integral part of this legacy. The World Nomad Games contribute to the preservation and revitalization of these traditions.
At the same time, this initiative serves as an important platform for strengthening international cultural cooperation. In particular, during the 23rd Meeting of Ministers of Culture of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states, held in July 2026 in Cholpon-Ata (Kyrgyz Republic), key issues related to the development of cultural and humanitarian cooperation were thoroughly discussed. A number of initiatives were advanced to expand collaboration in the fields of theatre, cinema, music, museum studies, and the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage.
Such multilateral dialogue and coordinated initiatives significantly enhance the substance and long-term impact of major international projects such as the World Nomad Games. These initiatives function not only as sporting events, but also as platforms for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding among nations.
The project also possesses considerable economic and tourism potential. The participation of international athletes, experts, and visitors contributes to raising global awareness of Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage and contemporary development. This, in turn, supports the promotion of national tourism, traditional crafts, and creative industries.
Moreover, the World Nomad Games provide an important opportunity to further showcase Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage on the international stage. Hosting such a large-scale event underscores the country’s cultural capacity and its commitment to preserving and promoting its historical legacy within the global cultural landscape.
In conclusion, the Republic of Uzbekistan continues to demonstrate an active and constructive role not only in the field of sport, but also in the sphere of cultural diplomacy. The upcoming World Nomad Games are expected to serve as a significant affirmation of these efforts and to further strengthen international cultural cooperation.
