Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and U.S. President Donald Trump have agreed to broaden their strategic partnership and enhance mutually beneficial cooperation, the Uzbek presidency said on Friday following a phone call between the two leaders.
Trump praised Uzbekistan’s “irreversible reforms” aimed at modernising the economy and improving living standards, while Mirziyoyev congratulated Trump on what he described as the “impressive results of the U.S. administration’s domestic and foreign policy.”
The leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including business relations, security cooperation, cultural exchanges, and regional collaboration.
They emphasised plans to increase trade volumes, which grew 15% in 2024, and advance projects in civil aviation, critical minerals, energy, agriculture, digital technologies, finance, innovation, and education.
“A series of bilateral meetings and negotiations will be held this month with leading U.S. companies and organisations to establish long-term and sustainable partnerships,” the Uzbek presidency said.
The discussion also covered joint efforts against terrorism, extremism, and illegal migration, while both sides highlighted the expansion of cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
Several U.S. university branches already operate in Tashkent, and Uzbekistan’s national team will compete in next year’s World Cup in the U.S. for the first time.
The presidents also exchanged views on international and regional issues, including strengthening cooperation in the C5+1 format, which brings together Central Asian states and the U.S.
Mirziyoyev invited Trump to make an official visit to Uzbekistan at a convenient time, and both sides agreed to continue high-level contacts to advance joint projects.
The Uzbek presidency described the call as “open, constructive and friendly.”
