In his speech, President Mirziyoyev emphasized that this gathering in a new format is a logical continuation of the previously organized "round table." He noted that this event symbolizes the deepening of strategic trust between Uzbekistan and the USA in the field of economic cooperation.
"The most important factors are the reliability of partners, predictability of conditions, and long-term prospects for interaction. It is based on this logic that we build our relations with the United States," added the head of state.
Mirziyoyev also pointed out the main directions of Uzbekistan's socio-economic development and noted that the economic agenda plays a significant role in the strategic partnership with the USA. Among the priorities for joint work were projects in critical resources, petrochemicals, energy, agriculture, and poultry farming.
Particular attention was paid to the role of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Export-Import Bank as key partners in implementing investment deals, as well as the necessity of actively utilizing the opportunities of the Business and Investment Council.
To deepen interregional cooperation, it was instructed to organize visits of Uzbek regional leaders to the corresponding states in the USA.
At the conclusion of the event, bilateral agreements were signed concerning the implementation of projects for the construction of gas stations, the introduction of irrigation technologies, the extraction and supply of critical minerals, the creation of a poultry cluster, as well as the development of the agro-industrial complex and improvement of the investment climate.
