119th (2025–2027)
S.Res. 459
This resolution honors the C5+1 diplomatic platform, which brings together the United States with five Central Asian nations: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The platform was launched in 2015 to facilitate high-level dialogue and cooperation on security, trade, energy, and environmental issues, with the first presidential-level summit held in 2023. The resolution recognizes these countries' support for U.S. operations in Afghanistan and emphasizes their ongoing cooperation on counterterrorism, energy security, infrastructure development, and critical mineral mining. The Senate affirms the strategic importance of this partnership for promoting regional stability and U.S. security interests while expressing hope for reduced trade barriers and continued friendship. As a non-binding resolution, it does not authorize any funding or establish specific timelines, but serves as a formal statement of congressional support for strengthening ties with Central Asia.
