Mirziyoyev Says Uzbekistan Sees Major Scope for US Cooperation on Data Centers

Head of State Shavkat Mirziyoyev said Uzbekistan sees significant opportunities for cooperation with the United States in building data centers and deploying digital solutions in industry, agriculture, education and public administration. He made the remarks on 19 October at the opening of the second meeting of the American-Uzbek Business and Investment Council in Samarkand.

Mirziyoyev said relations between the two countries had reached “the highest level in the entire history of cooperation,” crediting the attention and support of US President Donald Trump. He noted that bilateral trade is growing and that hundreds of companies with American investment operate in Uzbekistan, while Uzbek firms are beginning to invest in the US economy.

Priority areas include critical minerals, energy system modernization, renewable energy and storage, and digital technologies and artificial intelligence. A package of 54 agreements and initiatives worth about $12 billion was formed through work involving 45 ministries and agencies.
