President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday at United Nations headquarters during the 80th General Assembly.
According to a statement from Mirziyoyev’s office, the talks focused on expanding the U.S.-Uzbek strategic partnership and reviewing progress on agreements reached during a September 5 phone call. The two leaders also exchanged views on regional and global issues.
Mirziyoyev’s press service said the Uzbek president opened the meeting by congratulating Trump on what he called his achievements in domestic and foreign policy, particularly his role in easing international conflicts. Trump, the statement added, voiced support for the “irreversible reforms” underway in Uzbekistan, including economic modernization and efforts to raise living standards.
The Uzbek side highlighted what it described as a growing political dialogue and intensified business contacts. Trump was reported to have praised Mirziyoyev’s meetings with executives from more than 50 major U.S. companies and banks.
Agreements announced by Tashkent cover civil aviation, mining, critical minerals, finance, innovation, chemicals, energy and other areas, which Uzbek officials said could create tens of thousands of jobs in both countries.
Mirziyoyev invited Trump to make an official visit to Uzbekistan at a convenient time, his office said.
The meeting, in the Uzbek government’s characterization, took place in an “open, constructive and friendly atmosphere.”
Separately, Trump publicly welcomed Uzbekistan Airways’ largest-ever contract with Boeing, announced in New York alongside the UN gathering. In a post on Truth Social, he said the airline is acquiring 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliners worth more than $8 billion, a deal that he claimed will create over 35,000 U.S. jobs. “President Mirziyoyev is a man of his word, and we will continue to work together on many more items,” Trump wrote.
Boeing called the agreement the biggest in Uzbekistan Airways’ history. The national carrier signed a firm order for 14 Boeing 787-9s with options for eight more, with deliveries set to begin in 2031. According to airline chairman Shukhrat Khudaykulov, the expansion will strengthen Tashkent’s role as a regional transit hub and broaden its international network, including long-haul routes to Europe, Asia, and the United States.
