This article analyzes the role of the Hephthalite state in the history of Central Asia, particularly in the formation of Uzbek statehood, based on historical sources. It examines the system of governance, socio-economic life, foreign policy, and the role of the Hephthalites in the Great Silk Road. Furthermore, the influence of Hephthalite state traditions on later political systems, including the Timurid period, is substantiated from a historical and philosophical perspective. Based on Chinese chronicles, Byzantine historians, and modern scholarly research, the article concludes that the Hephthalite state represented an important stage in the development of centralized governance in Central Asia
