位於中亞的內陸國家，是世上唯二雙重內陸國之一（被內陸國包圍）。1991年從蘇聯獨立出來，改名為共和國後，雖然政體為民主共和，但實際上還是維持獨裁統治，被經濟學人列為全球民主指數報告中的倒數第13名。2016年新總統米爾濟約耶夫上任，試圖帶領國家走向民主開放，推動經濟改革。外交亦採取睦鄰政策，和其他中亞國家關係有所改善。相當捧場一帶一路，2020年更加入「數位絲路」，引進華為和中興多項城市監察系統產品，也用於課堂上監察教師和學生的學習表現。

Year Founded: 1991

Uzbekistan is an inland country situated in Central Asia, and the only dual inland country in the world (surrounded by inland countries). Despite the ruling regime declaring Uzbekistan to be an independent, democratic republic after breaking away from the Soviet Union in 1991, in reality Uzbekistan is still dictatorially ruled and listed in the bottom 13th of the Global Democracy Index by the Economist. 

Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the new president, who took office in 2016, has attempted to lead the country towards open democracy and promote economic revolution. Diplomatically, Uzbekistan has adopted the policy of good neighborliness and has improved relationships with other Central Asian countries. It’s quite a fan of the Belt and Road initiative and even took part in the Digital Silk Road Project in 2020, introducing city monitoring and surveillance systems by Huawei and ZTE, which are also used in classes to monitor the performance of teachers and students.
