Introduction:
About one billion people live in Africa.
Africa is seen as the cradle of humanity. In fact, in
reference to the Deaf, the people living around the
ancient city of Karga were called "afri" ("afar" means
"dust"). After the capture of Carthage by the Romans,
the province was called Africa. the whole country, and
later the continent, was named Africa. They have a
short history of importance between Uzbekistan and
Africa, but they have carried out international events.
At the same time, relations between Uzbekistan and
African countries are gradually expanding. It is very
important to preserve the experience of the subject, to
study the roots of Uzbekistan's relations with African
countries in the current globalization process, and to
study economic, social and cultural relations.
LITERATURE ANALYSIS AND METHODS
The relations of the Uzbek SSR with African countries
were first of all through the USSR state. Therefore, the
historiography of international relations of the USSR
period will help us. Among the works of this group, the
most famous are: " История внешней политики
СССР", второй том которого охватывает 1945
-1985
годы . The books edited by A. A. Gromyko and B. N.
Ponomarev reflect the main directions of the foreign
policy of the USSR, the main initiatives carried out by
the Soviet government, the foreign policy strategy of
the Soviet state in terms of security and cooperation.
The formation of the foreign policy of the USSR, the
development of cooperative relations with Africa, and
the process of supporting the national liberation
movements are described in detail in works such as
«СССР

principle of historicity, chronological and comparative
analysis methods.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In the 1950s and 1960s, the processes of achieving
independence of the countries of the African continent
began. In 1960, the Prime Minister of France, Michel
Debre , and the leaders of the three countries in Africa
(countries that are part of the French Union) - the
president of the Republic of Congo, Fulbert Juli . The
prime minister of the Republic of Chad, Tombolbaye,
and the head of the government of the Central African
Republic, David Dako, signed the agreement confirming
the independence of these countries.
It would not be a mistake to say that an important
factor that allowed such an increase in attention to the
foundations of humanism in artistic and scientific
creativity was the weakening of the ideological
pressures of the totalitarian regime in the early period
of the war. As a result, despite ideological restrictions,
cultural workers worked selflessly inside the country. In
particular, looking at the chronicle of cultural life on a
republican scale, it can be said that the science, culture,
and art of Uzbekistan were subordinated to the
interests of preserving the totalitarian regime .
Following the end of World War II, transformational
processes occurred on the geopolitical map, and a new
system emerged in the politics of international
relations. In this process, the Soviet Union developed

tools to establish its own coordinates in the new system
and regulate external relations.
Cultural ties continued to develop from 1945 to 1991.
This period encompasses the time from the end of
World War II until the emergence of independent
states. The typical pattern observed in the series of
cultural exchanges between the Soviet state and other
countries after the war reveals that the main
ideological aim was to promote Soviet ideology in other
countries of the world through these cultural
connections.
The conference agreed to establish a House of Friendly
Ties with Foreign Countries in Moscow for this union. It
was determined that this institution would serve as a
supporting organization for the activities of the Soviet
Friendship Society . Initially, the Union voluntarily
established friendly and cultural ties in the field of
science and culture with individual organizations,
institutions, institutes, and committees of the states.
Each member of the organization had its own task and
was able to contribute to the development of
international relations with countries of a certain
nature.
According to the All-Union Conference of the Soviet
Society for Friendship and Cultural Relations of the
Central Committee of the CPSU with Foreign Countries:
"Friendship and Cultural Relations of the Soviet Society
with Foreign Countries are aimed at strengthening
friendship, trust, and mutual understanding in cultural
relations with the peoples of the USSR, understanding
each other through acquaintance with the history,
economy, culture, science, and way of life of the
peoples of the world, establishing ties between large
public groups, and exchanging experience in the
creative activities of peoples ."
The victory of the USSR in the World War increased its
international status as the first socialist state and
opened up new opportunities for establishing
comprehensive relations between states.
In addition, the initial clauses of the so-called
cooperation
agreement
were
signed.
These
agreements determined the new position of these
three countries in the French Union and their new
relations with France. Cooperation agreements
concluded in the 1960s were signed after the
declaration of Congo's independence.
The policies of developed countries in the African
region have had an impact on Congo's socio-economic
spheres. In such a situation, the Soviet government
decided to help the Republic of Congo with food,
following the feelings of friendship and brotherhood of
the Soviet people towards the people of the Congo, it
was reported in the Kyzil Uzbekiston newspaper.
According to the newspaper, in the early hours of July
19, 1960, three IL-18 planes took off from Moscow and
flew to Leopoldville via Rome-Rabot-Accra. The first
batch of food sent by the Soviet government to the
Republic of Congo was loaded on these planes. The
steamer "Leninogorsk" will leave Odessa for Congo
with wheat, sugar and condensed milk in the next few
days .
The Government of Ghana, through the Embassy of the
USSR in Accra, appealed to the Soviet Government to
help send the Ghanaian troops to the Republic of Congo
in accordance with the resolution of the United Nations
Security Council. The Soviet government supported the
wishes of the Ghanaian government and decided to
grant this request. For this purpose, the following
measures will be implemented: three Soviet IL-18
planes will be sent to Accra after delivering food from
Moscow to Leopoldville (Republic of the Congo), and
Ghanaian troops will travel to Accra as needed to
transport them to Leopoldville. In addition, for the
purpose of transporting the Ghanaian troops, the
Soviet government, in accordance with the request of
the Ghanaian government, will allocate two additional
IL-18 aircraft .
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, some thoughts about the policies of the
countries of the African region, including Congo, in the
process of achieving independence in the 50s and 60s
of the XIX century, and Uzbekistan's diplomatic
relations with the USSR, following the feelings of
friendship and brotherhood towards the people of the
Congo, and helping with food products it was said.
