MISSION & VISION

As the country continues in its journey of political, economic and social reform and modernisation, the Brussels-Uzbekistan Friendship Group sees as its main duty to accompany and support Uzbekistan on its way into the future, as it modernises and develops and to bring Uzbekistan to a larger audience beyond niche expert and policymaking circles. 

​

The initiators of the Brussels-Uzbekistan Friendship group are fascinated by Uzbekistan, its culture and hospitality.

​

The Friendship Group intends to add value to the already existing initiatives linking Belgium, the EU and Uzbekistan (such as the Europe-Uzbekistan Association for Economic cooperation focusing on business ties; or the Belgium-Uzbekistan parliamentary friendship group which brings both sides closer at institutional level) by focusing primarily on bringing the EU and Uzbekistan closer in the cultural, artistic, tourism and academic domains, strengthening people-to-people linkages in the process.
