Introduction
Uzbekistan has been implementing ambitious reforms, including the recent “Uzbekistan – 2030 Strategy,” which prioritizes social protection, “creating favorable environmental conditions for the population, a fair and modern state at the service of the people, ensuring the country’s sovereignty and security,”1 and enhancing the protection of private property with a focus on economic development and liberalization. These significant developments have not only transformed the country’s internal landscape for the better but have also contributed to its active and pragmatic foreign policy.
