The meeting, held on November 6 at the White House in Washington, was held in a friendly and cordial atmosphere. During a conversation with US President Donald Trump, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev discussed a number of initiatives aimed at further strengthening relations between the two countries. At the end of the conversation, the leader of Uzbekistan presented his American counterpart with two symbolic gifts - a miniature copy of the Registan complex in Samarkand and Trump's book "The Art of Agreement," translated into Uzbek.
The images distributed by the White House press service show that these gifts were received with great interest by Trump. In particular, the small model of the Registan, with its historical and cultural significance, is a valuable symbol representing the centuries-old heritage of Uzbekistan. Through this, President Mirziyoyev demonstrated cultural closeness and mutual respect between the two countries.
Also, the Uzbek edition of "The Art of the Deal," presented to Trump, added a special meaning to the dialogue between the heads of state. This book reflects Trump's political and business experience, and it was observed that Mirziyoyev presented it in a national language and tried to further strengthen mutual closeness through cultural dialogue and book diplomacy.
Interestingly, the photos don't show other leaders of countries visiting Washington as part of the Central Asia-US dialogue giving gifts to Trump. This further highlighted Mirziyoyev's visit and his personal initiative.
At the meeting, Mirziyoyev repeatedly invited Trump to visit Uzbekistan. In recent years, the President has been inviting his American counterpart to see Samarkand at every meeting, and this time officially put forward an initiative to hold the next C5+1 summit in 2026 in Samarkand.
Mirziyoyev's proposal could be the US leader's first visit to Central Asia. It should be noted that so far, no US president has made an official visit to this region. Therefore, such a step has historical significance.
The dialogue in Washington not only opened a new page in relations between the two countries, but also demonstrated a new level of activity of Uzbekistan's diplomacy. The symbolic gifts presented by Mirziyoyev, reflecting the country's cultural power and diplomatic politeness, strengthened the dialogue with Trump in a friendly spirit.
Thus, the meeting in the White House not only acquired political significance, but also became a vivid example of traditional Uzbek hospitality and diplomatic sincerity.
