This bill expands the role of the State Department's Special Presidential Envoy for the Abraham Accords to include efforts in Central Asia and the Caucasus regions, in addition to the Middle East, North Africa, and Indo-Pacific areas already covered. The legislation specifically recognizes Kazakhstan's 2025 accession to the Abraham Accords framework and directs the Special Envoy to pursue similar normalization agreements with other countries in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia). The bill allows the Special Envoy to designate a Deputy Special Envoy with relevant regional expertise and requires coordination with the Departments of Defense, Commerce, and Energy, but explicitly states that no additional federal funding is authorized for these expanded duties. Instead, the Special Envoy must use existing programs and authorities to implement these objectives.
