Sirojiddin Yakhshilikov

Sirojiddin Yakhshilikov's career includes consular service in Russia before his Washington assignment. In 2009, he was identified as first secretary at Uzbekistan's consulate general in Novosibirsk. The Sverdlovsk regional human rights commissioner's office announced a visiting appointment session with him in Yekaterinburg, intended to let residents resolve consular matters without traveling to a distant consulate. ¹

In August 2017, George Washington University's Central Asia Program identified Yakhshilikov as chargé d'affaires at the Uzbek embassy. An event organized with the embassy listed him to speak on social policy, modernization, and cultural heritage. ²
