Dear AUCC Members and Friends:
We would like to express our gratitude to all AUCC members who, through all these years, have proven to be Uzbekistan’s true allies and have been nothing but dedicated, reliable, honest and most conscientious business partners inspired to expand the bilateral relationship, business climate and promote development to enhance the lives of the people of Uzbekistan and the US.
Our companies recognize that despite the global economic slowdown, Uzbekistan has managed to secure successfully greater macroeconomic stability and growth. We applaud the Government of Uzbekistan for their continuous process to improve the operating business environment that US companies benefit from and fiscal discipline that has enhanced economic growth. We greatly appreciate our own US Government for their continuous dialogue with their Uzbek counterparts on how to use trade and investment engagement as a pillar of the bilateral relations.
We stand ready to use our business acumen to facilitate the Uzbek and US Governments’ efforts to attract more American companies and helping those who are already here generate even more success stories for the world to hear. We hope for the US and Uzbek Governments’ support in helping us multiply our achievements and generate more projects and contracts that will make our nations achieve greater prosperity, stability and higher rates of development.
May 2015 bring greater prosperity to the American and Uzbek people.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Lamm, AUCC Chairperson
Timothy McGraw, AUCC President
