The history of Uzbek - Finnish relations dates back to the early 1990s, when Finland became one of the first countries to recognize the independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan - on 30 December 1991. Just two months later, on 26 February 1992, diplomatic relations were officially established, marking the beginning of a new chapter based on mutual respect, trust, and a shared commitment to technological progress.

Diplomatic relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Serbia were established on January 18, 1995, following Belgrade’s recognition of Uzbekistan’s independence in late 1991.

In recent years, Uzbekistan has undertaken wide-ranging reforms in the field of labor migration, establishing a comprehensive system to ensure the safe, legal, and dignified employment of its citizens abroad. These reforms are aimed not only at protecting the rights and interests of migrants, but also at enhancing their professional skills and supporting their long-term social and economic integration.

Today, the most pressing global issue is undoubtedly the environmental crisis. Virtually all countries are facing the negative consequences of climate change, water scarcity, and air pollution. Unfortunately, ecological degradation poses a significant threat to human life and health. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), between 4.2 and 7 million people die each year worldwide due to air pollution. Additionally, 2.7 billion people around the world experience water shortages for at least one month each year.

Relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Kingdom of Belgium are built on the principles of mutual respect, equality, and constructive dialogue. Belgium recognized Uzbekistan’s independence on December 31, 1991, and diplomatic relations were established on March 10, 1992. In 1995, Uzbekistan’s Embassy began operating in Brussels, while Belgium coordinates its cooperation through its diplomatic mission in Astana.
