Deputy Secretary Landau's Meeting with Kazakhstan Foreign Minister Kosherbayev
The below is attributable to Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott:
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau met today with Kazakhstan Foreign Minister Yermek Kosherbayev following Secretary Rubio's inaugural Critical Minerals Ministerial. The two leaders held productive discussions on expanding trade and investment to support critical minerals exploration, mining, and processing, as well as regional connectivity and secure supply chains. Deputy Secretary Landau and Foreign Minister Kosherbayev underscored the importance of the U.S.-Kazakhstan strategic partnership in fostering economic growth and creating new opportunities for both nations. The United States supports Kazakhstan's continued regional integration and development, including through the C5+1 diplomatic platform, which represents the United States "plus" the five Central Asian countries (the C5 - Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan).
