Abstract

The article analyzes the assessments of Uzbek experts on the state and prospects for the development of cooperation between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the context of the Declaration on Allied Relations, signed by the leaders of the two states on December 6, 2021. This study was carried out by analyzing the discourse of the expert community of Uzbekistan regarding the characteristics of bilateral Kazakh-Uzbek relations in the new historical conditions. It was revealed that at the moment meaningful allied relations have already been established between the two states with the potential for further development, which in the future will only be improved and expanded due to the high degree of coincidence of mutual interests and in accordance with the realities of the international situation.
