In particular, as reported by the president's press service, Mirziyoyev discussed cooperation issues with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, and the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán.
He also met with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and current Chair of the Institute for Global Change.
During these meetings, the parties considered the possibility of expanding mutually beneficial cooperation, including active participation in international structures.
Additionally, the President of Uzbekistan discussed key areas of investment interaction with representatives of major financial companies, including Adebayor Ogunlesi, Senior Managing Director of Blackrock.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed support for Blackrock's initiatives to invest in Uzbek enterprises, as well as for the creation of joint projects and attracting international expertise to improve the investment climate in the country.
During negotiations with Odile Renaud-Basso, President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), strategies for deepening the partnership between Uzbekistan and this financial institution were discussed.
The parties emphasized that cooperation with the EBRD is sustainable, and Uzbekistan is a key partner of the bank in Central Asia. EBRD investments have nearly reached $7 billion, and last year the volume of operations exceeded $1 billion, including projects to support the private sector.
Mirziyoyev noted the significant contribution of the EBRD to the development of "green" energy, modernization of transport infrastructure, implementation of environmental programs, and support for entrepreneurship.
During the visit, priority areas for cooperation for the current year were also identified, including the development of the private sector, infrastructure projects, digital transformation of railway transport, and programs for training youth and women in modern professions.
The highlight of the visit was the signing ceremony of the Charter of the Council for Peace, established at the initiative of U.S. President Donald Trump, in which Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan participated.
As Trump noted, this Council will operate in cooperation with the UN and has the potential to become one of the leading international organizations.
