The first issue of the scientific and technical journal Uzbekistan Oil and Gas 2025 features an article on the Centre for Energy Geopolitics and Diplomacy of the Institute of Advanced International Studies (IASI) at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED).

The article focuses on key areas of the Centre’s work, including analysis of the energy strategies of the world’s leading powers, the prospects for transnational cooperation in the energy sector, and the impact of global energy processes on the economies and policies of Central Asian countries. The material pays special attention to energy security, sustainable development and Uzbekistan’s role in international energy initiatives.

It is noted that IAIS Centre for Energy Geopolitics and Diplomacy is an important scientific and analytical platform contributing to the development of strategic recommendations for policy makers and energy experts. The research highlights the geo-economic aspects of energy co-operation, including infrastructure development, energy transit issues and geopolitical challenges in this area.

Publication in Uzbekistan’s leading core journal is a sign of recognition of the importance of scientific research in the field of energy diplomacy. The Uzbekistan Oil and Gas journal, established by Uzbekneftegaz JSC, is the only specialised publication covering the country’s oil and gas industry, and its authority in the professional environment underlines the significance of the published material.

In addition to expanding the scientific discourse on global energy geopolitics, the journal contributes to the formation of an expert dialogue between research structures, industrial enterprises and the government sector.
