Modern international development is still under the certain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The massive efforts of international community mainly focused on tackling and easing the subsequent phases of it in quite complexed levels. Only the wise and joint preventive efforts of every individual country and even region may catalyze and lead the process of gradual economic stabilization after the stagnation that has arisen early last year worldwide. Despite certain discrepancies and rather contradictory conditions in global trade, Uzbekistan has put strong efforts to move the dynamics of its foreign economic relations with leading economies and institutions in positive state and activate the bilateral and multilateral cooperation in key sectors of its national economy. Historically, the Eurasian nations were linked through not just economically, but also politically and socially. Most of them traditionally played an important geostrategic role internationally. Building its external political priorities as an independent state in favor of the Commonwealth Independent States (CIS)1 , which is driven and heavily backed by Russia, they counted primarily on security issues. A balanced assessment of the role of the Commonwealth in the conditions of emerging from a certain latent state in which the organization has been for many years is possible only taking into account the specifics of the initially difficult conditions of the period of the collapse of the former unitary system and the formation of the sovereignty of the post – Soviet states, as well as the whole complex of relations of the CIS member states and the emergence of a completely new geo-economic component of the entire Eurasian space. Even before the disintegration of the USSR, almost half of the industrial potential of ex-Soviet nations, worked for the common Soviet market at that time. Uzbekistan actively uses the observer status with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). In the spring of 2021, Uzbekistan adopted a roadmap for the development of cooperation with the EAEU, which, among other things, includes the harmonization of legislation with the norms of the union. By the end of the year, a representative office of the Eurasian Development Bank may open in Uzbekistan. And full-fledged Integration of Uzbekistan into EAEU, according to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, will provide additional opportunities for the growth of the Uzbek economy and tangible advantages for citizens.
