In December 2025, the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev will pay an official visit to Japan and take part in the high-level Central Asia + Japan Dialogue summit.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two states on 26 January 1992, the development of Uzbek–Japanese cooperation has been one of the key priorities of Uzbekistan’s foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific region.

8 December marks Constitution Day in the Republic of Uzbekistan - a date that holds a distinct place in the nation’s modern history. Adopted in 1992, the Constitution laid the foundational pillars of the country’s independence, the rule of law, and its democratic evolution. It set the trajectory for the emergence of a young sovereign state, defined the core principles of its governance, and charted the path toward building an open, peaceful, and humanistic society.

The Constitution emerged as the decisive document that established the normative framework for shaping a sovereign Uzbekistan. It enshrined the political, economic, and social model of the future state — a model rooted in democratic principles, the rule of law, respect for human rights, and the freedoms of the individual.

The adoption of the Constitution marked a pivotal step in the institutionalization of Uzbekistan’s independence, laying a solid legal foundation for all subsequent political and socio-economic reforms.
