On September 13, Washington hosted the first-ever meeting between Akmalkhuja Mavlonov, Chairman of Uzbekistan's Customs Committee, and Troy Miller, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, marking 32 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
During the meeting, a Cooperation and Mutual Assistance Agreement was signed, focusing on the exchange of customs information and joint efforts to combat money laundering, customs duty evasion, and trafficking of drugs and people.
To date, the U.S. has signed similar agreements with only 17 out of nearly 200 countries.
The Uzbek delegation also toured key U.S. customs facilities, including the National Targeting Center and San Antonio International Airport.
