As emphasized by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in his Address to the Oliy Majlis and the people on December 26, 2025, “in recent times the country has been becoming an international platform for dialogue where global issues are discussed.”
At the Consultative Meeting of the Heads of state of Central Asia, held on November 16 in Tashkent, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev put forward a number of initiatives aimed at strengthening regional cooperation.
Despite the 6,000-kilometer distance between Tashkent and Tokyo, the official visit of President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Japan on December 18-20 elevated Uzbek-Japanese relations to a qualitatively new level of expanded strategic partnership for future generations.

“The future of our region is shaped by every state of Central Asia. A solid foundation and a guarantee of its sustainable development and prosperity lie in the readiness and sincere desire for cooperation, as well as in the shared responsibility of all Central Asian nations for their common future. Our main goal is to jointly turn Central Asia into a stable, economically developed, and prosperous region.” These words, spoken by President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev back in 2017, resonate with particular significance today.
The consultative meetings of Central Asian heads of state are gradually becoming a key mechanism for developing common approaches to regional economic development. Uzbekistan acts as an active initiator of integration processes aimed at strengthening mutual trade, developing industrial cooperation, and creating sustainable transport and logistics chains. Today, the region is shifting from political dialogue to practical partnership based on investment, innovation, and industrialization.
Consistent efforts to harmonize the legal framework, remove barriers, and establish unified industrial standards open new opportunities for attracting capital and implementing joint projects in energy, engineering, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.
On 15–16 November 2025, Tashkent is hosting the 7th Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia — an event marking a new stage in deepening regional cooperation and strengthening strategic partnership.
The agenda covers not only issues of economic integration, environmental sustainability and transport connectivity, but also one of the key priorities — cooperation in the labour market and the development of human capital.
