{{Politics of Uzbekistan}}[[Uzbekistan]] joined the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]] in December 1991. However, it is opposed to reintegration and withdrew from the CIS collective security arrangement in 1999. Since that time, Uzbekistan has participated in the CIS peacekeeping force in [[Tajikistan]] and in [[United Nations]]-organized groups to help solve the Tajik and [[Afghanistan|Afghan]] conflicts, both of which it sees as posing threats to its own stability. Uzbekistan is an active supporter of [[United States|U.S.]] efforts against worldwide [[terrorism]] and joined the coalitions which have dealt with both Afghanistan and [[Iraq]] (although, in 2005, relations with the U.S. were strained after the [[Andijan massacre|May 2005 unrest]] and Uzbekistan demanded that the U.S. leave [[Karshi-Khanabad]]). It is a member of the United Nations, the [[Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council]], [[Partnership for Peace]], and the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]] (OSCE). It belongs to the [[Organisation of Islamic Cooperation]] (OIC) and the [[Economic Cooperation Organization]], which comprises 7 [[Central Asia]]n countries: [[Pakistan]], [[Uzbekistan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Turkmenistan]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Tajikistan]]. It is a founding member of and remains involved in the [[Central Asian Union]], formed with [[Kazakhstan]] and [[Kyrgyzstan]], joined in March 1998 by [[Tajikistan]].

In 1999, Uzbekistan joined the [[GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development|GUAM]] alliance ([[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Ukraine]], [[Azerbaijan]] and [[Moldova]]), which was formed in 1997 (temporarily making it [[GUUAM]] until Uzbekistan withdrew in 2005). Uzbekistan is also a member of the [[Shanghai Cooperation Organisation]] (SCO) and hosts the SCO's Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure (RATS) in Tashkent. Uzbekistan is also candidate state of the new [[Eurasian Economic Union]] (EAEU).

==Finland==
In 2006, [[Antti Turunen]], head of the [[Finnish Foreign Ministry]]'s [[Eastern Europe]]an and [[Central Asia]]n department, led a [[European Union]] fact-finding mission to [[Tashkent]], [[Uzbekistan]].  The Uzbek deputy foreign minister had indicated that the [[Uzbek government]] was interested in talks with the EU during a visit to [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]] in June 2006, just before [[Finland]] assumed the EU presidency. ''[[Radio Free Europe]]'' journalists spoke to Turunen on September 1. Turunen's visit to Uzbekistan was the first EU visit since October, when sanctions were imposed after the [[Uzbek government]] refused to allow an international investigation into the [[Andijan massacre]].<ref name=UZBEK>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/1071019.html|title=Uzbekistan: EU Officials Hold Talks In Tashkent|website=RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty|access-date=2021-07-13|archive-date=2021-07-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210713141056/https://www.rferl.org/a/1071019.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[File:Clarence Moore House.JPG|thumb|[[Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C.]]]]
Turunen said that the visit went smoothly and that [[Uzbek Foreign Minister]] [[Vladimir Norov]] offered a warm reception. The EU delegation met with officials from the Justice Ministry, the Attorney General's office, and Uzbek parliament members. He stressed that the real issue for the EU was the Uzbek government's response to the Andijan massacre and [[human rights]] abuses.<ref name=UZBEK/> He said [[Russia-Uzbek relations]] and possible EU development of Uzbek energy reserves were not directly discussed but that EU investment might be possible in this area.<ref name=UZBEK/>

==Persian Gulf states==
On 31 March 2009, Uzbekistan and the [[Sultanate of Oman]] agreed upon a legal framework to protect Omani investments in central Asia and guarantee trade from both nations was free from [[double taxation]]. The Sultanate's government had been pursuing economic diversification and privatisation policies for nearly a decade after signeding similar agreements with thirty other trading partners.<ref>{{cite news|author=Unattributed |title=Oman, Uzbekistan sign agreements on double taxation, investment protection |work=[[Oman Daily Observer]] |page=3 |date=2009-04-01 |url=http://www.omanobserver.com/01/Daily/Local/Local4.htm |access-date=2009-04-28 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20090427171445/http://www.omanobserver.com/01/Daily/Local/Local4.htm |archive-date=2009-04-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Netherlands==
In July 2024, the ambassador of Uzbekistan met Director of the Europe Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, Erik Weststrate, to discuss bilateral and multilateral cooperation.<ref>[https://kun.uz/en/news/2024/07/10/uzbekistan-and-the-netherlands-discuss-cooperation-in-political-economic-and-cultural-areas Uzbekistan and the Netherlands discuss cooperation in political, economic and cultural areas]</ref>
