October 15 is the opening day of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Tashkent.

After the People's Republic of China recognized the independence of Uzbekistan in 1991 and established diplomatic relations in 1992, equal relations began to be established between the two countries. Over the past 13 years, more than 100 official documents have been signed between the two countries. On October 1992, 15, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China was opened in Tashkent, and on May 1995, 6, the Embassy of Uzbekistan was opened in Beijing. The Joint Declaration on Further Development and Strengthening of Partnership, Friendship and Cooperation between Uzbekistan and China, as well as cooperation in combating drug trafficking and abuse of psychotropic substances, technical cooperation - agreements on economic cooperation were signed. In recent years, the Uzbek market has seen an increase in Chinese goods. China imports machinery, electronics, electrical appliances, coffee, consumer goods, tea and spices, optical instruments and devices, vehicles, textiles, clothing, footwear and others. Uzbekistan exports to China non-ferrous metals and their products, mineral fuels, oil and oil products, cotton and silk fibers, plastics and others. Cooperation between the two countries in the fields of culture, science, technology and education has also developed. Representatives of China regularly take part in the Sharq Taronalari International Music Festival in Samarkand, and Uzbek folk groups regularly take part in the annual International Festival of Culture and Tourism in Beijing. In 2000, a special committee on scientific and technical cooperation was established. In 2001, the Chinese Cultural Center was established in Tashkent. Since Uzbekistan joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2001, relations within the organization have been developing. Bilateral cooperation is expanding, especially in the fight against terrorism and security in Central Asia. Uzbekistan has been actively involved in the development of the legal framework of this organization and the definition of its practical tasks. In 2004, cooperation was established between television companies of Uzbekistan and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The Uzbek-Chinese Friendship Society, established on December 1998, 1, has been making a worthy contribution.
