Komil Allamjonov joins George Washington University’s Central Asia Program as special advisor

The Central Asia Program (CAP) at the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (IERES) of George Washington University has announced the appointment of Komil Allamjonov as the program’s special advisor.

George Washington University President Ellen Granberg personally congratulated Allamjonov on his new appointment.

At the same time, Komil Allamjonov will continue his work as an advisor to Saida Mirziyoyeva, head of the Presidential Administration.

CAP Director Sébastien Peyrouse noted that this appointment is an important step toward understanding the processes unfolding in Uzbekistan and Central Asia and communicating them to the international community.

“This appointment reflects CAP’s ongoing efforts to foster dialogue between the academic community and practitioners, as well as to provide an objective analysis of reforms and broader developments taking place in Uzbekistan and Central Asia,” Peyrouse said.

He also emphasized Allamjonov’s role in promoting Uzbek culture internationally and highlighted his work in the media, along with his involvement in projects aimed at improving road safety and education quality in Uzbekistan.

For reference, the Central Asia Program (CAP) operates within the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (IERES), which is part of the Elliott School of International Affairs – the largest international relations school in the United States. The program’s main goal is to advance scholarly research on contemporary Central Asia and serve as a bridge between experts and policymakers. To this end, it creates an open platform for dialogue among political, academic, diplomatic, and business communities.

The program covers the five Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan), as well as Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Xinjiang, and Mongolia.

CAP encompasses diverse fields such as political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, history, globalization, and security studies. It facilitates the free discussion of different perspectives and implements joint projects oriented toward international cooperation.

For Uzbekistan, the Central Asia Program creates significant opportunities in the fields of science, diplomacy, and economics. It provides access to international research, new knowledge, and innovative approaches that can contribute to political and economic processes in the country. The program, in particular, helps strengthen Uzbekistan’s dialogue with the international community, especially with Central Asia, the United States, Europe, and Russia.

In addition, the program opens new avenues for Uzbekistan in security and strategic studies, supporting the development of domestic policy through creative approaches. By discussing different perspectives and fostering cooperation with other countries, it helps shape new strategies to address issues of stability and security.

The program also offers young Uzbek researchers and diplomats opportunities to receive training that meets international standards and encourages their professional growth.
