THE ROLE OF CULTURAL DIPLOMACY IN THE NEW ERA OF CHINA - UZBEKISTAN RELATIONS

Abstract

In today’s world, the role of culture plays an increasingly important role in international communication. The cultural diplomacy philosophy of “proximity, sincerity, benefit and tolerance” is an important concept actively advocated in the development of China- Uzbekistan relations in the new era. Based on the historical origins, cultural ties, common values and long-term and unremitting efforts of China and Uzbekistan, the value of cultural diplomacy in the new era of ChinaUzbekistan relations has become more and more prominent and fruitful, greatly promoting high-level contacts between the two countries, enhancing political mutual trust, constantly strengthening the foundation of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, accelerating strategic docking between the two countries, strengthening security cooperation, enhancing people-topeople contact between the two countries and opening up broad prospects for humanistic cooperation. In particular, as China enters a new era, and as the political, economic and cultural exchange practices between China and Uzbekistan are in full swing, the two countries still need to make sustained efforts in terms of culture, mechanism, capacity, industrial support and talent training, so that cultural diplomacy can make a greater contribution in promoting dialogue between civilisations, mutual friendship, mutual help and common development.
