BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. President Shavkat
Mirziyoyev has invited U.S. President Donald Trump to visit
Uzbekistan in a congratulatory letter to him on the occasion of his
80th birthday.
This was announced in a report published by the press service of
the Uzbek president.
According to the press office of the Uzbek president, the U.S.
president’s visit marks his first to this Central Asian state.
The report states that, in the message, Mirziyoyev emphasized
that relations between Uzbekistan and the United States have
developed significantly in recent years, underpinned by mutual
respect, trust, and shared interests.
"Today, Uzbekistan-U.S. relations are stronger and more
practical than ever before," Mirziyoyev said in his letter.
The Uzbek leader also reaffirmed Tashkent's commitment to
expanding cooperation with Washington across a range of areas and
expressed interest in further deepening the countries' strategic
partnership.
The invitation comes as Uzbekistan continues to pursue closer
economic, political, and security ties with the United States as
part of its broader foreign policy agenda.
Meanwhile, U.S.-Uzbekistan relations have evolved into a
multi-dimensional strategic partnership focused on trade,
investment, and technology transfer. Bilateral trade surpassed $1
billion, driven by U.S. commercial interest in Uzbekistan's
economic reforms. The two nations actively collaborate on regional
security, critical minerals supply chains, and green energy
development.
