Abstract:

Oil and gas resources are abundant in Uzbekistan，which are an important resources support for the construction
after its independence. After the development strategy of One Belt and One Road（Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st
Century Maritime Silk Road）was put forward，China and Uzbekistan will certainly have a closer relationship in energy interests.
However，Chinese oil companies have encountered lots of difficulties when entering Uzbekistan market for the following
reasons: underdeveloped Uzbekistan oil and gas in spite of its rich reserve，conservative politics and the unestablished market
economic system. Therefore，it is necessary to explore the cooperation strategies between China and Uzbekistan by studying the
characteristics of Uzbekistan market from the aspects of politics，social security and macro-economy operation and so on. This
paper suggests that the cooperation between Chinese oil companies and Uzbekistan oil and gas market should start from opening
up the oil and gas cooperation market by taking advantage of the friendly relationship among the governments，taking reasonable
measures to avoid law traps，exploring various cooperation models，taking the initiative to assume social responsibilities and
strengthening personnel training and reserve and so on.
