US President Donald Trump has announced that he will invite Kazakh President Kasym-Jomart Tokayev and Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the G20 summit to be held in Miami next year. Prior to the announcement, President Trump held individual telephone conversations with the leaders.
The invitation underscores Washington’s increasing focus on Central Asia, emphasizing peace efforts, conflict resolution, and expanding trade and economic cooperation in the strategic mineral-rich region.
President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that the relationship between the United States and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is “great.”
“I had two excellent calls this morning with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of the Republic of Uzbekistan,” Trump wrote, adding, “We discussed the importance of bringing peace to the ongoing conflict and expanding trade and cooperation between our countries. Our relationship is great. The United States will host the G20 Summit next year, and we plan to extend it.” We invite both leaders to be our guests at this very important event in Miami. ”
Phone call with President Tokayev
Tokayev’s presidential press office announced that the meeting between the two leaders focused on bilateral relations and international issues, including the conflict in Ukraine.
Mr. Tokayev emphasized the complexity of the crisis, noting that territorial issues remain central and require compromises from all sides.
He called for patience, flexibility and professionalism in pursuing a peace settlement.
Kazakhstan does not intend to act as a formal mediator, but has expressed its readiness to host negotiations if necessary in a spirit of goodwill.
Mr. Tokayev also praised President Trump’s leadership in resolving international conflicts and strengthening U.S. domestic capabilities.
During his visit last month, Tokayev announced that Kazakhstan would join the Abraham Accords, the Trump administration’s effort to strengthen ties between Israel and Muslim-majority countries.
The largely symbolic move coincides with the U.S. government’s efforts to revive diplomatic and trade efforts first launched during President Trump’s first term.
Phone call with President Mirziyoyev
President Mirziyoyev’s press office announced that the conversation focused on expanding trade and strategic cooperation.
Leaders reviewed progress on agreements reached at the highest levels and explored new avenues for cooperation.
Mirziyoyev praised President Trump’s achievements in international diplomacy, noting that political contacts between the two countries, especially at the leadership level, have intensified.
Economic cooperation between the United States and Uzbekistan is rapidly expanding. Tens of billions of dollars worth of projects are underway across civil aviation, automotive manufacturing, mining, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, chemicals, and information technology.
The U.S.-Uzbekistan Business and Investment Council was launched to support existing projects and develop new initiatives, including a co-investment fund.
Regional exchanges are also increasing, with delegations from three regions of Uzbekistan visiting the United States to establish state-level partnerships.
The presidents of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have both invited President Trump to visit their countries.
The upcoming G20 summit will provide a platform to advance these priorities. By combining conflict resolution dialogue with concrete economic initiatives, the United States aims to strengthen partnerships, promote regional stability, and expand trade in Central Asia.
