With the rise of Sh. Mirziyoyev to power, the Republic of Uzbekistan has actively developed its foreign policy, expanding mutually beneficial international cooperation, attracting foreign investments, and enhancing both economic and political security. Energy diversification is a crucial aspect of Uzbekistan’s foreign policy, as the state aims to reduce its reliance on energy imports and enhance its energy security. In recent years, the government has promoted renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, and initiated efforts to construct a nuclear power plant. By investing in green energy projects, Uzbekistan aims to reduce carbon emissions and build a more sustainable energy system with reduced dependence on fossil fuels.This article analyzes the main aspects of Uzbekistan’s foreign policy related to energy security and the role of international cooperation in this process. Special attention is given to the study of alternative energy sources and the construction of a nuclear power plant. The article also presents both the advantages and disadvantages of these energy strategies. Furthermore, recommendations are provided to strengthen Uzbekistan’s energy independence and security, contributing to the country’s sustainable development.Despite the complexities involved, which require careful planning and cooperation at both national and international levels, the findings indicate a growing trend toward energy diversification in Uzbekistan.
