In 2016 Uzbekistan experienced the first change of leadership since independence—President Karimov died of illness and Mirziyoyev was elected as the new president. As the prime minister of this country for quite a long time，Milziyoyev had not only realized the importance of the continuation of the “Karimov model”，but also been aware of corruption，bureaucracy，external closure and other problems existing in all areas. Therefore，on the one hand，he held the banner of the old president，claiming that “It’s our sacred duty to maintain the main development principles，goals and tasks of President Karimov”；on the other hand，he made drastic reforms in various fields，which gained wide support by the common people.
