Productive discussions with John Jovanovic of @EximBankUS and Ben Black of @DFCgov on the sidelines of the #TIIF2026.

Encouraging to see our American partners strengthening not only #business ties with Uzbekistan, but also their appreciation of our country’s rich history and cultural heritage.

The C5+1 framework connects the U.S. with all five Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

America’s Deal Team is building on this foundation to advance shared economic growth and lasting regional stability.

As @DFC_CEO explains, nothing in history has lifted more people out of poverty than industrialization.

DFC applies that knowledge to our work every day – following in the footsteps of the Marshall Plan to grow and modernize allies’ economies through the U.S. financial system.

250 years ago, the Continental Congress tasked the Committee of Five – Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston – with writing a Declaration of Independence.

Jefferson’s prose made him the natural choice to pen the first draft.

Long-standing partners like Ecuador are essential to that vision.
