In 2004, the United States Government and the Central Asian governments signed a Regional Trade and Investment Framework Agreement.  The objective of the TIFA is to provide a forum for addressing trade issues and enhancing trade and investment between the United States and Central Asia.  The TIFA also provides a platform to address regional trade issues that hamper intra-regional trade, economic development, and investment.  The TIFA created a United States-Central Asia Council on Trade and Investment, which is designed to consider a wide range of issues that include, but are not limited to, intellectual property, labor rights, environmental issues, and enhancing the participation of small- and medium-sized enterprises in trade and investment.  The Department of Commerce’s Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) leads U.S.-Central Asia TIFA Working Groups on several topics including Digital Trade, Customs, and Women’s Economic Empowerment, with the goal of liberalizing trade, promoting investment, and improving the legal environment for business throughout Central Asia.
