Mirziyaev is heavily pursuing the policy of pushing concern cooperation downward to the regional score from the previous republican score inwards guild to strength Uzbekistan’s regions to function out to a greater extent than self-sustainable in addition to exhibit greater initiatives inwards attracting concern partners. The large concern coming together alongside Russian counterparts was hence designed to expand such cross-border regional cooperation.
Several days prior the latest Putin-Mirziyaev summit, the militaries of both countries agreed to permit each other the role of their countries’ airspace (Podrobno.uz, Oct 12).

Since the passing of old president Islam Karimov, Mirziyaev continues to press ahead on cautious cooperation alongside in addition to growing receptiveness toward Russia. At the same time, Tashkent is reaping the benefits of this bilateral cooperation without having had to bring together whatsoever of the telephone substitution Moscow-led regional groupings. Nevertheless, alongside or without Uzbekistan’s participation inwards these organizations, clearly Russia’s footprint inwards the military, energy, economic scheme in addition to didactics spheres is fix to grow.
