Featuring our next Open World Success story!
Please, meet Open World alumnus 2017, Uzbekistan Parliament member Rasul Kusherbayev.
"We have heard a lot about the United States. I was especially interested in the work of the U.S. Congress. While visiting the United States with the Open World program, we have got acquainted with the work schedule of congressmen, working with voters, impressed by the role and participation of Congress in the adoption laws, especially the budget. Also of particular interest were the local offices of congressmen and how they deal with voters' appeals. Getting acquainted with the activities of lobbying organizations, courts, election commissions in the United States was also very informative.
Living in a host family helped me understand the lifestyle, habits, and behavior of the American people. Although we had very positive impressions of the rule of law among the population, free worldview, and expression of thoughts, we noticed some kind of deterioration in perceptions of the family, in particular, the relationship between children and parents. This may be explained by the difference in family conception between them and us. In a nutshell, I think the trip to the U.S. was a positive contribution to broadening my knowledge and professional outlook".
Well done Rasul! We hope you keep the Open World spirit.

The Open World Program, funded by the U.S. Congress, brings emerging leaders from Eurasia to the United States for ten days of exchange to build and strengthen relationships between our countries. #openworld #uzbekistan

On June 16–17, Judges Farrukh Turakhodjaev and Sukhrob Yuldashev represented Uzbekistan at the Congressional Office for International Leadership (COIL) Regional Judicial Alumni Conference in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, organized by the U.S. Embassy. Focusing on the theme "Judicial Independence and Court Digitalization," the event gathered Open World Program Rule of Law alumni from across Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific to discuss global trends and challenges in modern justice systems.
Judge Turakhodjaev delivered a keynote presentation on Uzbekistan’s progress in e-justice, highlighting platforms like my.sud.uz and national initiatives to improve digital literacy among judges and court staff. His remarks were recognized as a compelling example of strategic, phased modernization in the judiciary.
The conference offered a lively platform for professional exchange, cross-border collaboration, and sharing of best practices in digital justice and the rule of law.

🌍 Strengthening U.S.–Uzbekistan Cooperation through the Open World Program
From October 7–18, an Open World delegation of Members of Parliament from Uzbekistan visited the United States to exchange ideas on governance, policymaking, and civic engagement.
Their program began in Washington, D.C., where delegates met with Senator Steve Daines, Congressman Bill Huizenga, and Congressman Don Bacon, as well as experts at the Atlantic Council and the Caspian Policy Center. Discussions focused on expanding U.S.–Uzbekistan cooperation, fostering economic growth, and supporting regional stability.
The delegation then traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska, where they explored how state and local governments collaborate with the private sector and civil society to drive innovation and community well-being. Visits to Black Hills Energy, Lincoln Electric System, and the Mayor’s Office provided valuable insights into renewable energy, sustainability, and public-private partnerships. Delegates also learned about civil society engagement at Nebraska Appleseed and bipartisan governance through meetings with Nebraska State Senators.
Among key takeaways, Ms. Sapargul Utemuratova noted the strong emphasis on employee well-being and environmental sustainability, and plans to adapt similar practices in Uzbekistan. Mr. Bobur Bekmuradov proposed exploring a sister-city partnership between Kokand and Lincoln, promoting continued cultural and municipal exchange.
🇺🇸🇺🇿 These experiences underscore the shared commitment to advancing transparent governance, sustainable development, and people-to-people diplomacy between the United States and Uzbekistan.
