Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S4271-4272)
This resolution honors the 35th anniversary of independence for five Central Asian nations: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, which declared independence from the Soviet Union between August and December 1991. The Senate recognizes the growing strategic importance of U.S. relationships with these countries, noting they serve as vital partners in addressing terrorism, trafficking, and regional instability while also functioning as a geopolitical bridge connecting Eastern and Western trade and energy routes. The resolution affirms support for these nations' sovereignty and their rights to independently determine their foreign policy and economic arrangements without external pressure. It highlights the value of governance reforms, anti-corruption efforts, and economic modernization occurring within these countries, as well as the importance of expanding educational and cultural exchanges with the United States. This is a non-binding resolution that expresses the Senate's support and recognition rather than creating any new laws, funding, or specific policy requirements.
