The parties explored opportunities for joint efforts to train young professionals in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, enhance the quality of English language instruction, and organize training programs and seminars with the involvement of international mentors and industry experts.

In addition, proposals were presented to promote Uzbekistan as an emerging IT Hub and to support U.S. companies in becoming IT Park members — allowing them to optimize costs, leverage remote work models, and scale their business operations.

At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides expressed sincere gratitude and affirmed their readiness to foster mutually beneficial and long-term cooperation.
