biography

Vladimir Norov studied at the Pedagogical Institute in Bukhara from 1972 and graduated in 1976 as a qualified mathematics teacher . This was followed by one year of military service in the Red Army . From 1978 until the fall of the Soviet Union , Norov was employed by the organs of the Soviet Interior Ministry and studied from 1983 to 1985 at the Academy of the Interior Ministry in Moscow . In 1988, Norov began his doctorate here - it was an adjunctura , a doctorate (in the sense of Russian aspirantura ) at a university of the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of the Interior - which he completed in 1990.

From 1993 he worked as a consultant on administrative law issues in the Uzbek presidential administration. In 1995 he joined the government for a short time as the first deputy foreign minister. Just one year later he returned to the presidential office and worked there as an advisor to President Islom Karimov on questions of foreign policy and foreign trade. From 1998 to 2003, Norov was Uzbekistan's ambassador to Germany . From 2002 he was also responsible for Poland and Switzerland . In 2003 he returned to Uzbekistan and was again Deputy Foreign Minister. From 2005 to 2006 he was ambassador to Belgium . From July 12, 2006 to December 28, 2010, Norov was Foreign Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Because of his previous ambassadorial activity in Europe , his appointment was interpreted as a signal of rapprochement with the European Union . Relations with the EU have been strained since the bloody crackdown on the opposition protests in the East Uzbek city of Andijon in 2005.

In December 2010, his predecessor Elyor Gʻaniyev was reappointed Foreign Minister, while Norov became the first Deputy Foreign Minister. 2013–2017, Norov was the Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the Benelux countries and the official representative of Uzbekistan to NATO and the EU . In May 2017, Norov was appointed director of the Research Institute for Strategic and Interreligious Issues under the Uzbek President. On June 10, 2018, he was elected Secretary General of that organization by the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. He took up this position on January 1, 2019.

In addition to Uzbek and Russian , Norov speaks English and German . He is married and has three children.
