ANALYSIS OF RELATIONS BETWEEN UZBEKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN.

Abstract

One of Afghanistan's northern neighbours in Central Asia is Uzbekistan. Due to its military prowess, economic might, size, high literacy rate, and strategically advantageous location in the middle of Central Asia, Uzbekistan is the most powerful nation in the region. On the other hand, Uzbekistan performed better than other Central Asian republics during the Soviet Union, which has aided this nation in its efforts to establish itself as a regional leader in this region even after independence. This nation and Afghanistan have a 137-kilometer natural boundary that is formed by the Amu River.
