Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev received a letter today from President of the United States of America Joe Biden:

His Excellency Mr.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Dear Mr. President, I express my deep appreciation for your leadership and personal commitment to strengthening relations between our countries, including cooperation in the field of security.

For the United States, the priority is the development of relations with Uzbekistan in the field of economy and energy, as well as support for your efforts to modernize and reform the country’s political system.

The US strategic partnership with Uzbekistan continues to deepen, and I look forward to further advancing our achievements in 2023.

I would like to highlight your commitment to developing relations with neighboring countries through the process of expanding regional cooperation between the five countries of Central Asia.

These efforts contribute greatly to prosperity and stability in the region and beyond.

For more than 30 years, our partnership has been based on respect for the key principles of the UN Charter: respect for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.

I am convinced that our common commitment to these values will further deepen our ties in the long term.

Sincerely, Joe Biden
