After gaining independence from the Soviet Union, in 1991, Uzbekistan established its first embassies in neighboring states and major global capitals to assert its sovereignty and promote international recognition. In the early years, financial constraints and limited resources affected the scope of its diplomatic representation. However, the country gradually expanded its presence abroad, focusing on developing trade relations, attracting foreign investment, and supporting its diaspora communities.
Uzbekistan’s diplomatic missions have also played a key role in advancing regional cooperation within organizations such as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), and the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). The country maintains embassies and consulates in most of its neighboring countries, as well as in strategic locations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has intensified its foreign policy efforts under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, reopening and establishing new embassies and consulates in regions of growing importance to its economy and security.
