Description
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tells a news conference in Tashkent, Uzbekistan that he supports the Central Asian country's nascent reform agenda, after pressing it to expand rights and investigate abuses. Speaking while on a trip to woo the region amid tensions with Russia, Blinken says "few regions have been more acutely affected than Central Asia, including Uzbekistan". Pushing for wider support for Ukraine in former Soviet territories, Blinken adds that inflation "is hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. That's why the United States has provided more than $16 million in emergency food aid to this region." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
