Eldor Akhmedov ,

Abstract

This scholarly article analyzes the formation and evolution of bilateral relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Arab Republic of Egypt on the basis of a comprehensive and systematic approach. The study examines the stages of development of political-diplomatic ties, trade and economic cooperation, socio-cultural integration, and religious-educational relations in accordance with the principles of historicity and consistency. The article considers the historical roots of mutual relations—particularly scientific and educational contacts and traditions of cooperation within the framework of Islamic civilization—in harmony with the modern concept of strategic partnership. It also analyzes, based on factual data and official sources, the institutionalization of diplomatic relations in the post-independence period, the formation of intergovernmental mechanisms, and the specific features of cooperation within international organizations. According to the research findings, Uzbekistan–Egypt cooperation is emerging as an important factor in strengthening interregional ties within the geopolitical space of the Middle East and Central Asia, deepening economic integration, and promoting cultural-civilizational dialogue. The article scientifically summarizes the promising areas of bilateral relations, including the strategic importance of cooperation in trade and investment, education, cultural, and religious-educational spheres.
