“C5+1“ is a regional diplomatic platform for the Government of the United States “plus” the Governments of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Since its launching in 2015, the C5+1 platform has expanded the dialogue and cooperation between the United States and Central Asia at the ministerial level, through expert meetings and thematic working groups.
The C5+1 Working Groups deal with such areas as economy, energy and environment, as well as security. ///nCa, 19 August 2023
