The impact of Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan relations on the central Asian region

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of interstate relations between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in Central Asia. From a historical point of view, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are united by many traditions, such as the fact that the Uzbek and Kazakh peoples have lived in the same geographical space for thousands of years, a single religion, a similar language, culture, and common customs. From a political perspective, the similarities between the two countries' systems of governance based on democratic principles, as well as their multifaceted foreign policies, the creation of a good-neighborly environment in the region, and adherence to universally recognized principles of international law, have always encouraged the two brotherly countries to maintain friendly relations. The article discusses the political and economic reforms currently underway to create a free economic and secure zone in the territory of the Central Asian countries within the framework of cooperative relations between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
