New U.S. Ambassador's priorities in Uzbekistan

"I think the three big areas as I mentioned were certainly economic and commercial relationship. Of course, we want to continue to support president’s reform agenda, certainly on a broad array of political reforms. I think we have a lot of work to do. Also on the security relationship, there's room for enhanced military-to-military partnership and a deeper security relationship, as well as work together to combat issues like terrorism and narcotics trade and to work to enhance Uzbekistan's border security." - U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan Jonathan Henick
