Uzbekistan

The summit produced the clearest iteration of Chinese interests in and commitments to Central Asia to date, but there's no "new blueprint" for relations.

Five parties have nominated four candidates, but only one has any chance at 'winning' Uzbekistan's July 9 snap presidential election.

In the wake of the constitutional referendum extending the presidential term from five to seven years, Mirziyoyev called for a new presidential election.

These are the women, among many others, who advocated and pushed for Uzbekistan to finally criminalize domestic violence. 

Tashkent's readouts of the president's meetings in Berlin highlight the quest for "multifaceted" cooperation.

Both Chinese expats and Uzbek locals have nuanced views of China’s growing involvement in Uzbekistan.

With Karimovesque numbers and a lack of open debate or opposition, Mirziyoyev's constitution was approved in Uzbekistan.

Usmanov was personally sanctioned shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, but new sanctions target his “wide network of businesses.”

The three men were among four Uzbek nationals detained by Densus 88 on March 24, following a tip from Uzbekistan's state security service.

The referendum may be a way of employing old tricks to extend Mirziyoyev’s rule, but a total reversion to the "old ways" could also prove detrimental to his regime.

With the support of the country’s mass media foundation, local civil society activists are trying to instill the message that violence against women is not innate to Uzbek culture.
