Uzbekistan has signed multi-billion dollar agreements with the United States after President Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with his US counterpart Donald Trump, following a private bilateral meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday ahead of the “C5+1 Summit” at the White House.
The so-called C5+1 Summit was a gathering involving the leaders of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the United States. The initiative started in 2015, under then US President Barack Obama, with the group hosting their first meeting in the Uzbek city of Samarkand in November of the same year.
