US Department of Commerce delegation to visit Uzbekistan

During the talks, the parties discussed in detail the agenda of the upcoming visit and the prospects for expanding the mutually beneficial partnership. The representative of the US Department of Commerce expressed her readiness to assist in the promotion of joint programs and initiatives aimed at expanding bilateral trade and investment relations.

“The US government is closely following Uzbekistan’s achievements in qualitatively improving the business climate and the investment attractiveness of the republic. The Department of Commerce will continue to work with the Uzbek side and provide full support for the transformations in Uzbekistan,” the message says.

As part of the trip, the US delegation is planning to hold meetings and negotiations in a number of ministries and departments and visit the production facilities of American and domestic companies.

In addition, a meeting is expected with alumni of the Special American Business Internship Training Program (SABIT) of the US Department of Commerce and representatives of the Business Women’s Association of Uzbekistan.

A delegation from the Department of Commerce, led by an Under Secretary, is visiting Uzbekistan for the first time since the end of the pandemic, and Marisa Lago will be the first high-level US trade official in the Joe Biden administration to visit Uzbekistan.
