UWED Professor Participates in Talk Show on Regional Cooperation

Dr. K. Juraev, a professor at UWED and Doctor of Political Sciences, appeared on a talk show on the “O‘zbekiston-24” TV channel focusing on cooperation processes in Central Asia. According to the experts on the program, regional cooperation in Central Asia has reached a qualitatively new level in recent years. In particular, the open and pragmatic foreign policy and the initiative to strengthen good-neighborly relations—advanced by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, since 2016—have been instrumental in fostering an atmosphere of mutual trust and solidarity across the region. The Consultative Meetings of the Heads of State of Central Asia, launched in 2018, have evolved into an effective mechanism for regional dialogue. Through this format, several border disputes have been resolved, transport links restored, and trade, economic, investment, and humanitarian ties expanded. Most importantly, a new political mindset has taken root—one focused on resolving regional issues through mutual dialogue and consensus, without outside mediation. Today, the tangible results of regional cooperation are clearly visible in the economic, energy, transport, and security sectors. Notably, the signing of the Treaty on the Tri-Border Junction Point and the Khujand Declaration by Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan in March 2025 was of historic significance. Collaboration on the joint use of water and energy resources, the Kambarata HPP-1 project, industrial cooperation, and cross-border trade is opening up new opportunities. Furthermore, the "Central Asia - 2040" concept has outlined the region's long-term development priorities. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan's inclusion as a full-fledged participant in the Consultative Meetings format starting in 2025 opens new prospects for creating a unified economic, transport, and logistics space linking Central Asia and the South Caucasus. At the same time, regional cooperation faces pressing challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, energy and food security, and ensuring stability in Afghanistan. Developing the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, the Trans-Afghan transport corridor, and the Trans-Caspian routes will help expand the region's international economic ties. In this context, further institutionalizing cooperation among Central Asian states, coordinating foreign policy approaches based on shared interests, and deepening economic interdependence are becoming increasingly vital. Today, Central Asia is emerging not merely as a geographical concept, but as a space for regional cooperation united by common goals, shared interests, and a collective responsibility for the future. The success of this process depends, above all, on how steadfastly the states uphold the principles of mutual trust, equality, and good neighborliness.

A keynote address was delivered by Javlon Vakhabov, Deputy Adviser to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Director of the International Institute for Central Asia. The first day of the forum focused on the transformation of the international order, intensifying geopolitical competition, and Central Asia’s growing strategic importance. During the panel discussions, experts examined the influence of major global powers on the region, prospects for cooperation with China, regional resilience, and the diversification of foreign policy partnerships. Dedicated sessions organized in cooperation with the British Academy, the University of Oxford, the Mapping Global China project, and the Delegation of the European Union to Uzbekistan addressed regional integration, the development of transport corridors, trade and economic relations, and the strengthening of international partnerships. The second day of the forum focused on sustainable development, regional identity, economic transformation, and technological innovation. The program began with a presentation by Timur Dadabaev, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at UWED and Professor at the University of Tsukuba, who explored regional identity and the prospects for deeper cooperation in Central Asia. A major highlight was the launch of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Uzbekistan, an initiative aimed at strengthening scientific and institutional cooperation in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. Subsequent discussions addressed climate change, water resource management, the transformation of regional trade, the integration of artificial intelligence into public administration, and Central Asia’s development prospects through 2030. At the conclusion of the forum, participants emphasized the importance of strengthening regional cooperation, expanding international expert dialogue, and developing coordinated approaches to contemporary global challenges. “Think Road Forum 2026” reaffirmed the important role of UWED and IAIS in advancing international academic cooperation and further strengthening Tashkent’s position as a platform for expert dialogue on pressing issues of regional and global development.

A Practical Visit to the Tashkent City Council of the People’s Democratic Party of Uzbekistan

On November 6 of this year, a practical visit to the Tashkent City Council of the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan was organized for students of the Faculty of International Relations at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy as part of the course in Political Science. This visit was carried out under the guidance of the faculty members of the department, G. S. Djumayeva, D. Khudoyberganova, and N. Kushayeva. The main objective of the practical session was to reinforce students' theoretical knowledge of Political Science and familiarize them with the activities of one of Uzbekistan's political parties the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan including its establishment, key areas of activity, organizational structure, and role in the country's socio-political life. During the visit, students were provided with information about the party's activities, its main objectives, participation in political processes, and efforts aimed at representing and protecting the interests of various segments of the population. Furthermore, the visit provided an opportunity to exchange views on the role of political parties in the country's socio-political life and their significance in democratic processes. It should be noted that the topic of "Political Parties" is being covered in the Political Science course this week. In this regard, the practical visit served as a logical continuation of classroom learning, providing students with an opportunity to explore theoretical knowledge through the activities of an actual political institution. Such practical sessions contribute to students' deeper understanding of political processes, while also developing their independent analytical skills and ability to formulate well-reasoned conclusions.
