“On behalf of the people and the government of the United States of America, I am pleased to recognize the anniversary of 20 years of diplomatic relations between our two countries,” he said.
“On 19 February 1992, our countries established diplomatic ties, and since that time the United States has consistently supported the development of Uzbekistan as a strong, prosperous and sovereign state,” he added.
“Over the past few years our governments have worked energetically to expand bilateral cooperation into many areas of mutual interest—political, economic, security, and the social sphere. Together we are working to achieve our common goal of facilitating and ensuring durable stability not only in our bilateral relationship, but in the region at large,” Krol underlined.
“I am honored to be the American Ambassador to Uzbekistan at this time, and I look forward to our continued success built on mutual respect and mutual responsibility,” the message concluded.
