Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau met on March 19 with Abdulaziz Kamilov, Uzbekistan’s Special Representative of the President for Foreign Affairs, and his delegation, according to Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
The meeting focused on advancing cooperation between the United States and Uzbekistan in several key areas. These included counterterrorism efforts, addressing illegal immigration, and strengthening commercial and defense ties. The discussion reflects ongoing efforts by both countries to deepen their bilateral relationship.
Pigott said that the United States welcomes opportunities to further strengthen its cooperation with Uzbekistan. This includes working within the C5+1 diplomatic framework, which brings together Central Asian countries and the United States for regional dialogue.
The talks are part of broader U.S. engagement in South and Central Asia aimed at promoting stability and mutual interests. Strengthening ties with Uzbekistan is seen as important for regional security and economic development.
Looking ahead, both sides indicated a willingness to continue building on these discussions to enhance their partnership.
