CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF UZBEKISTAN–KAZAKHSTAN CULTURAL AND HUMANITARIAN COOPERATION

Abstract

This article examines the features and prospects of cultural cooperation between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, two neighboring Central Asian countries with rich histories and shared cultural heritage. The relationship between these two nations is underscored by their mutual recognition of the importance of cultural diplomacy as a tool for fostering deeper political, social, and economic ties. Cultural cooperation between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan has a long history, and in recent years, this collaboration has significantly increased due to political reforms, regional stability, and mutual interest in reinforcing Central Asian solidarity.
