The subject of the research is the historical exploration of the Khiva 
Khanate’s relations with Bukhara and Kokand Khanates, the Kazakh Hordes and 
Iran. 
The scientific novelty of the research consists of the following points: 
by highlighting the socio-political processes and priority aspects of the Khiva 
Khanate’s foreign relations, it was proved inadequacy of the point of view that 
considers the Khiva Khanate as “insignificant and backward principality isolated 
from outside world”;
it was substantiated that the process of the establishment of the Khiva 
Khanate (1511/1512) was directly linked to the traditional relations of Khorezm 
with Dasht-i Qipchaq and the «Chinggisid factor» of the state administration and 
power legitimation was the general impact, as well as representatives of local 
people were main driving force of this process;
by revealing peculiar features of diplomatic relations of the Khiva Khanate it 
is shown that, despite the absence of ambassadorial residences of foreign states or 
in the period of various confrontations, the exchange of ambassadors with 
neighboring (Bukhara and Kokand Khanates, as well as other) countries were 
carried out on a wide scale 
it was substantiated that the Shiite-Sunni conflict in the relationship between 
the Khiva Khanate and Iran, is mostly related to the economic interests of the 
parties and implemented in their defense policy, and not caused only by a religious 
contradiction; 
it was argued that the reason for the strengthening of the «Russian factor», 
which had an essential impact on the general condition of the foreign relations of 
the Khiva Khanate, especially on the Khiva-Kazakh relations in the 19
th
century, 
was the collision of common political and economic interests in the Kazakh steppe; 
it was identified various types of diplomatic correspondence – «insha» or 
«maktubot» such as «enayat-name», «estimalat-name», «ma’zirat-name», 
«muvalifat-name», «murasile», «muhabbat-name», «sulh-name», «tahniyat-name», 
«fath-name», as well as their role in disclosing the main essence of diplomatic 
negotiations in the Khiva Khanate;
by studying the issue of reception ceremony of foreign ambassadors and 
«diplomatic etiquette» it was defined the mechanism of the Khiva Khanate’s 
external relations, in particular it has been revealed the activity of the 
«Ambassadorial service» and rules of conducting international negotiations.
