The Uzbek trade unions have had contacts with 40 trade unions around the world and maintain regular exchanges with unions from the CIS. The FTUU has not had relations with the World Federation of Trade Unions (the international trade union center covering trade unions in former communist countries) for the last four years and has withdrawn from membership in the GCTU. The FTUU is interested in establishing contacts with Western countries due to changes in its economic structures and investments by multinational companies. It maintains close links with the ACFTU in China and has contacts with the CGT in France, CGIL in Italy, Turk-Is and Hak-Is in Turkey, and Histadrut in Israel.

According to a Wechat article by the Chinese Embassy in Austria, a delegation of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) attended the Austrian Trade Union Federation’s (Österreichischer Gewerkschaftsbund, ÖGB) federal congress in 2018, while the ÖGB visited China in 2019. Lastly, the ACFTU sent the ÖGB a shipment of PPEs, which was handed over by then Chinese ambassador, Li Xiaosi, in May 2020. Therefore, this indicator deserves a "Yes" rating. It should be noted that no mention of the ACFTU delegation nor the ÖGB’s visit to China has been found on ÖGB’s website, social medias, as well as in Austrian media. This indicates that the relation between ÖGB and ACFTU is rather shallow and should thus not be overstated. No other acitivities have been reported since.
