31st August 2025

On behalf of the United States, I extend my warmest greetings to the people of Uzbekistan on their Independence Day on September 1.

For 34 years, the United States has stood by Uzbekistan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence. The United States is deeply proud of the progress of our strategic partnership with Uzbekistan, which has fostered trade and business ties between our two countries and furthered cooperation in a number of areas. We applaud Uzbekistan’s decision to become a full member of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, its continued cooperation on illegal immigration, and the strong security cooperation between our countries.

Now as Uzbekistan celebrates its independence, the United States remains committed to enhancing friendship and promoting prosperity for both the United States and Uzbekistan.
