Uzbekistan – Bredemarket

For Fans of Uzbek-Mongolian Relations

Even though Bredemarket primarily operates in the United States, world awareness doesn’t hurt.

In my quest for world awareness, I have mentioned both Uzbekistan and Mongolia in past separate posts.

“President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev arrived in Mongolia on June 24 [2025] for a historic state visit at the invitation of President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh. This marks the first official visit by an Uzbek head of state to Mongolia, signaling a significant step forward in bilateral relations.”

Remember that both countries’ histories are intertwined with the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan was previously part of the USSR, and Mongolia became independent of China and allied with the USSR in the 1920s. Today, both countries maintain a careful balancing act regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.

For My U.S. Readers Interested in Visiting Uzbekistan

When using your passport to travel internationally, sometimes you need a visa to enter a country.

And sometimes you don’t.

“The country of Uzbekistan will lift visa requirements for U.S. travelers starting Jan. 1, 2026, offering Americans another country to visit visa-free. The police change, which was recently confirmed by the government, will allow U.S. citizens to enter visa-free for up to 30 days.”

Just don’t bring your surfboards. Uzbekistan is double-landlocked.
