Independent development implies the obligatory entry of an independent state into the world political system. Hence the natural desire of Uzbekistan to strengthen its own sovereignty by introducing it into the world system as a full member. On the threshold of XXI The social and political situation in the world has undergone a radical transformation in the last century. In the last ten years of the twentieth century, the policy of "from a position of strength" has been replaced by a policy of reasonable civil dialogue. Uzbekistan, despite its relative youth as an independent state, has begun to play a prominent role in the world political arena. A new perspective on the development of humanity as a whole has emerged, serious changes have taken place in the field of communications, and the further development of international relations has gained a noticeable impact on the life of humanity. At a time when integration processes and people's desire to unite have intensified, it has become necessary to preserve national characteristics and spiritual heritage through independent policies.
Due to its geographical and political position, Uzbekistan has taken its rightful place in the world community. This is confirmed by the following:
