US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor met officials from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan for the first in-person meeting of the critical minerals dialogue under the C5+1 format, which brings together the five Central Asian states and the United States.
The meeting followed discussions launched between US President Donald Trump and Central Asian leaders during a C5+1 summit in Washington last year, where the parties agreed to deepen cooperation on critical minerals and related investments.
