Saida Mirziyoyeva Named Co-Chair of American-Uzbek Business and Investment Council

Saida Mirziyoyeva, Head of the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan, has been appointed Co-Chair of the newly established American-Uzbek Business and Investment Council - a body created to deepen economic ties between the two nations.

United States will be represented by Sergio Gor, bringing with him a track record that spans both the private sector and public service.

Gor is expected to serve as a key bridge between the business communities of the two countries - connecting American companies with emerging opportunities in one of Central Asia's fastest-growing economies.

The decision to establish the Council was made jointly by the presidents of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the United States Donald Trump on the sidelines of the C5+1 Summit on November 6, 2025, highlighting a new chapter in bilateral relations.

Ms. Mirziyoyeva's appointment sends a clear message about Tashkent's ambitions: Uzbekistan is actively courting American investment in its strategic economic sectors and positioning itself as an open and reform-driven partner for U.S. businesses.

The move also underscores Uzbekistan's broader push to expand its footprint in international economic cooperation - with Washington emerging as a key partner in that effort.

Mr. Gor's appointment reflects the Trump administration's broader economic agenda: strengthening American competitiveness abroad, expanding market access for U.S. businesses, and ensuring that international partnerships deliver tangible benefits for the American people.
