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

That the Senate—

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;
