However, the Mirziyoyev government is also showing some new moves in domestic and foreign policies. 1) The official slogan "From a strong state to a strong civil society" Strong state means strong government and it is expected that there will be a visible effort to strengthen civil society capacity in Uzbekistan society in terms of fulfilling the promise. In his first UN speech after his inauguration in December 2016, President Mirziyoyev promised to make Uzbekistan a "democratic country" and a "just society" where 'human interest' prevails. 2) Business-friendly Policy Expected The Mirziyoyev government has resolved many of the most important obstacles to investment in Uzbekistan during its one-year term.

President Mirziyoyev said "As the people live better, the nation will become stronger". He strongly expressed his commitment to economic growth. Moreover, it emphasizes the leading role of the Uzbek government in making Central Asia as economically prosperous. It was evaluated as a remark aimed at raising Uzbekis- tan as a Central Asian leading state with the capability of economic development based on 31 million people, the largest population in Central Asia and comparati- vely strong manufacturing. Of course, these changes have attracted the attention of many countries in the world, and Korea has been more interested in because of its long friendly relationship with Uzbekistan. The new Korean government led by Moon Jae-in sees these new domestic and foreign policy initiatives of Uzbekistan as highly encouraging and shows great interest in establishing mutually beneficial partnership with the new government in Uzbekistan.
