Mongolia established diplomatic relations with Uzbekistan on January 25th, 1992, but hasn`t established permanent diplomatic corps in the country. The concurrent ambassador of Mongolia has been in Astana since 2018, and the Uzbek ambassador has been in Beijing. There have also been no high-level visits so far. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia planned to open consulates in six places in Uzbekistan this year. In general, Uzbekistan has the largest population and territory in the region. Trade and transport logistics are also well-developed. Mongolia is interested in increasing trade with the countries of Central Asia and in the supply of agricultural products to the region with the opening of the Embassy in Uzbekistan. In addition to this, Mongolia introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of Uzbekistan for 30 days in June 2022.
