Since 2015, C5+1 has served as the main diplomatic platform of the US government for interaction with Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
The Ministerial Meeting on Development aims to strengthen this platform by bringing together ministers from all five countries of the region to take concrete measures to promote inclusive and sustainable economic development in Central Asia, with a focus on regional ties and sovereignty, trade, economic growth and entrepreneurship, climate and energy solutions, as well as opportunities for youth.
