Uzbekistan diplomatic engagements

Entities: Azerbaijan‑Kyrgyz Development Fund · Manas State Order · Uzbekistan · Altynbek Rysbekov · Sadyr Japarov

Overview

In late June 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron hosted Uzbek official Saida Mirziyoyeva in Paris, signalling Uzbekistan’s outreach to European partners. A month later, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev travelled to Kyrgyzstan, where he received the Manas State Order and signed an Alliance Relations Agreement covering culture, education, water, agriculture and border issues, underscoring a parallel push toward immediate neighbours.

At the end of July, Uzbekistan joined an informal “Central Asia‑Azerbaijan” consultative meeting in Cholpon‑Ata, Kyrgyzstan, attended by the presidents of Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. The gathering affirmed high‑level political dialogue, pledged mutual support in international fora and discussed expanding a joint investment fund and regional transport projects.

On 31 July 2026, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev visited Kyrgyzstan for an expanded summit that again included Uzbekistan’s president among the Central Asian leaders. The meeting announced the Azerbaijan‑Kyrgyz Development Fund would be increased to $200 million and highlighted ongoing initiatives such as the China‑Kyrgyzstan‑Uzbekistan railway and the Kambarata‑1 hydro‑electric plant. Uzbekistan’s continued participation underscores its broader engagement in multilateral Central Asian initiatives alongside its bilateral diplomacy with Europe and neighboring states.
