Abstract:

With the increase in industrialization and the phenomenon of globalization, the foreign trade relations between the countries have reached a more significant dimension. With technological advances, the increased capacity to meet people’s consumer needs, international trade has gained greater importance. Uzbekistan, one of the states that gained independence with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, has become a new actor in the international trade system.In this study, examining the external trade relations between Turkey and Uzbekistan, the distribution of Uzbekistan's external trade according to sectors was assessed. The results of the assessments show that the foreign trade relations between Turkey and Uzbekistan are not at the expected level. Between Uzbekistan and Turkey, which has become an important market for developed countries and other countries in the region, there are historical and cultural connections from the past. Therefore, the implementation of trade activities between the two countries is of great importance for both Turkey and the economies of Uzbekistan.
