NEW UZBEKISTAN'S INITIATIVES FOR ENSURING PEACE AND STABILITY: FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL AND HUMANITARIAN INTEGRATION

This article presents a socio-philosophical analysis of New Uzbekistan's initiatives aimed at ensuring peace and stability at the regional and global levels, viewed from the perspective of cultural and humanitarian integration. It substantiates the argument that initiatives such as the United Nations General Assembly resolutions on "Enlightenment and Religious Tolerance" and peace and sustainable development in Central Asia, as well as consultative meetings of the heads of state of Central Asia, constitute intrinsic manifestations of the country's social responsibility in promoting intercultural dialogue. The mechanisms underlying the relationship between democracy and cultural and humanitarian integration are examined, and practical recommendations are proposed.
