About of the Council


Our Mission

Trade relations between Uzbekistan and the United States have entered a transformative new phase. The Council is dedicated to strengthening and advancing the business ties between our two nations. The American-Uzbek Business and Investment Council traces its origins to the historic visit of Uzbekistan’s President, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, to Washington, D.C., from November 4–6, 2025, during the C5+1 Summit. During the summit, delegations from both countries reached an agreement to formally establish the Council as a platform for bilateral economic cooperation. Shortly thereafter, on November 12, 2025, President Mirziyoyev signed a decree officially mandating the creation of the Council.
