President Mirziyoyev receives delegation from the US Parliament

Issues of further strengthening Uzbek-American strategic partnership relations and building up multifaceted interaction were discussed.

The high level of bilateral cooperation achieved in recent years, the ongoing active contacts and exchanges of visits were noted with particular satisfaction. Last September, the first summit of leaders of Central Asian countries and the United States in the C5+1 format, as well as fruitful business meetings, was successfully held in New York City.

The head of state highly appreciated inter-parliamentary interaction, in particular the work of the Caucus for Cooperation with Uzbekistan, operating in the US Congress.

The volume of mutual trade turnover is increasing, which at the end of 2023 grew by 30%. The number of successfully operating American companies in the Uzbekistan market is growing.

As an example, the activities of the Air Products company are given, which is implementing investment projects worth over $10 billion in our country.

Special attention is paid to continuing active practical interaction with the states of Montana, Alabama, Washington, California and Texas, which are represented by American legislators.

Promising areas of cooperation include education, agriculture, digital technologies, mining, green energy, pharmaceuticals, food industry and others.

An agreement was reached on organizing business missions of American regions to Uzbekistan. There was also an exchange of views on current international and regional issues, including the situation in Afghanistan.
