On behalf of the people of Uzbekistan, I welcome you to the official website of our Chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement. Uzbekistan accepts this responsibility at a time when the principles of Bandung, sovereign equality, peaceful settlement of disputes and mutual respect, are needed more than ever.
During the next three years we will work with every Member State to strengthen the unity of the Movement, to advance sustainable development and connectivity, and to make the voice of the Global South heard in global decision-making.
We look forward to welcoming you in Tashkent.

Motto and identity
“Together for a just and prosperous world”
Working motto, subject to approval.
The visual identity draws on the tile geometry of Samarkand and Bukhara: the eight-pointed star of the girih, the lapis and turquoise of the Timurid domes and the gold of Uzbek embroidery. The flag stripe marks every page as part of the Chairmanship.

The Committee coordinates the preparation of the Summit and other meetings of the Chairmanship.
