 RESOLUTION

 Honoring the strategic importance of the C5+1 diplomatic platform and 
recognizing the deepening partnership between the United States and the 
 nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 
 Uzbekistan.

Whereas, in 1991, the United States established diplomatic relations with 
 Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan 
 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union;
Whereas the Governments of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan provided 
 essential support to United States and NATO operations in Afghanistan 
 through the Northern Distribution Network;
Whereas, on November 1, 2015, the United States and the C5 launched the C5+1 
 platform, a regional mechanism for high-level dialogue and cooperation, 
 supported by a permanent Secretariat since 2022;
Whereas the inaugural Summit agreed on partnerships to increase national and 
 regional security, trade and economics, and energy and environmental 
 issues; and
Whereas, in 2023, the first presidential-level C5+1 summit identified new 
 opportunities for partnerships in energy security, counterterrorism, 
 infrastructure, and critical mineral mining development: Now, therefore, 
 be it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) affirms the strategic importance of the C5+1 platform 
 in promoting regional sovereignty, stability, and shared 
 security interests with the United States;

    (2) appreciates expanded cooperation on energy and critical 
 minerals through transport corridor development;

    (3) recognizes the unwavering commitment of the Central 
 Asian nations to counterterrorism coordination under the C5+1; 
 and

    (4) hopes for a reduction in strategic trade barriers and 
 increase in continued prosperity and friendship.
