Abstract:During the year of 2013,Uzbekhstan maintained its political stability,with its government committed to imroving its citizens’ living standard and livelihood,and defusing its social conflicts,with a result of good performance as a whole. With the US and NATO’s forthcoming military withdrawal from Afganistan,Uzbekhstan focuses on its domestic stability as the security situation in Afganistan and its neighboring region is looming as a great complexity. Uzbekhstan’s economy kept on growing at a high rate,with its reform going on in good order,and its GDP hike reaching 8.5%. As for dipolomacy,the relations between Uzbekhstan and Russia continued to keep steady,though somewhat distanced without great change. The relations between Uzbekhstan and the US were continuously consolidated due to their bilateral cooperation on the military withdrawal from Afganistan. The relations between Uzbekhstan and China scaled a new height,their strategic partnership further deepened and developed. Uzbekhstan and Karsakstan established strategic partnership and became strategic partners,which would probably change the framework of the regional relations. There were still some conflicting relations of relative tenseness between Uzbekhstan and Kyrgyzstan,and also between Uzbekhstan and Tajikistan. Uzbekhstan attaches importance to cooperation in the economic field,and to attracting foreign investment and infrastructural construction in particular,thinking that China has certain influence in the SCO. The SCO provides a good platform for the two countries to develop friendly cooperative relations.
