Uzbekistan signs Artemis Accords as U.S. expands strategic talks in Samarkand — Uzbekistan joins Artemis Accords

Diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tashkent is broadening as both sides push to deepen strategic cooperation across security and commercial sectors. Their meeting in Samarkand also highlights potential openings for U.S. companies in Uzbekistan’s civil nuclear and space industries.

Highlights

Uzbekistan becomes the 77th nation to sign the Artemis Accords during U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's meeting with Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov in Samarkand.
Rubio and Saidov discuss expanding bilateral cooperation in civil nuclear technology, the space sector, and critical minerals, positioning Uzbekistan for increased U.S. business involvement.
The meeting reinforces the C5+1 diplomatic platform's role in connecting regional security, supply chain interests, and new technological market opportunities for American companies in Central Asia.

Samarkand meeting expands bilateral agenda

As reported by the U.S. Department of State, Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Uzbekistan Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov in Samarkand on the sidelines of the C5+1 Ministerial to discuss ways to deepen the enhanced strategic partnership between the U.S. and Uzbekistan ahead of the upcoming G20 Summit.

During the meeting, Rubio witnesses Saidov’s signing of the Artemis Accords, making Uzbekistan the 77th nation to join the commitment to peaceful and transparent space exploration. Rubio also welcomes Uzbekistan’s interest in U.S. civil nuclear technology and discusses expanding bilateral cooperation in the space sector.

Central Asia investment and security implications

The talks also focus on deepening cooperation on critical minerals, an area of growing strategic and commercial interest for both countries. The discussions position Uzbekistan as a potential destination for greater U.S. business involvement as its space sector develops.

Rubio and Saidov also commit to build on the momentum of the C5+1 diplomatic platform to advance prosperity and security across Central Asia. The meeting underscores how regional diplomacy is increasingly linked to supply chain interests, technology cooperation and new market opportunities for American companies.

In our earlier report on WTO warnings about lasting trade disruption from wars and tariffs, we explained how companies are redesigning supply chains and shipping routes to reduce exposure to geopolitical shocks. The WTO projected a sharp drop in Middle East trade flows and noted that higher-cost but more resilient alternatives are increasingly becoming the norm, alongside a broader tilt toward regional trade and demand for AI-related goods supporting global trade growth.
