Yesterday, it was my Great Honor to host a Summit at the White House with the Presidents of five incredible Countries, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, of Kazakhstan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, of Uzbekistan, Emomali Rahmon, of Tajikistan, Sadyr Japarov, of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Serdar Berdimuhamedov, of Turkmenistan. For three decades, my predecessors failed to give these Central Asian Nations the attention that they deserve. Now, the Leaders of this strategic Region, which is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and is blessed with ABUNDANT Critical Minerals, Hydrocarbons, and Human Talent, have a President of the United States of America who intends to be fully engaged! In commemoration of the 10 year anniversary of the C5+1 platform, we secured Billions of Dollars in Commercial Deals that will support tens of thousands of American jobs in the Aviation, Critical Minerals, Agriculture, Rail, Auto, and Technology sectors. Our Summit was the dawn of a beautiful, new relationship between the United States and Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Turkmenistan!
