                               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.
