The reforms, openness, transparency, renewal, and changes observed in the domestic policy of Uzbekistan in recent years are also evident in the country’s foreign policy. Uzbekistan, as an equal actor in international relations, pursues an active foreign policy at the regional and global levels by developing mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners. This consistent and constructive foreign policy is also recognized by international experts and observers. Even in these times of global pandemic, Uzbekistan has paid special attention to ensuring socio-economic stability and maintaining cooperation with the countries of the region and the international community.

The reforms initiated in Uzbekistan in the second half of 2016 have placed mobilization of the civil society potential for development on the agenda as one of the pressing issues and a pillar of any large-scale reform programmes. There is no doubt that without the full support and engagement of citizens in the reforms, it is impossible to speak of a fundamental transformation of the entire system of the functioning of the state.

The world experience of nation-building and social development shows that the democratization of society can be achieved only through the effective participation of the masses in the exercise of power through various representative bodies. Thus, parliamentarism is a rapidly developing socio-political phenomenon that is characterized as a unique progressive and democratic system of governance in society.

A multiparty system has been established in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and is being developed in accordance with modern requirements, as a result of large-scale political, socio-economical and legal reforms that were gradually carried out in the process of independent statehood of nearly thirty years.

It is not surprising that the new Uzbekistan's strategically important development program Action Strategy identifies ensuring the rule of law and further reforming the judicial and legal system as the second priority area. Indeed, in the radical modernization of the state and society, it is essential to ensure reliable protection of citizens' rights and freedoms, ensure the independence of the judiciary, achieve justice, strengthen the rule of law, and effectively combat corruption. In the past 2020, Uzbekistan and all spheres carried out large-scale work in this direction.
