According to the press service of the President of Tajikistan, on October 5, Emomali Rahmon departed for the USA.
On November 6, in Washington, the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon will participate in the “Central Asia+USA” (“C5+1”) summit.
This is already the second summit in this format. The first “C5+1” summit took place in September 2023 in New York during the 78th session of the UN, when Joe Biden was the President of the United States.
The goal of the Central Asia+USA “C5+1” summit is to strengthen and expand diplomatic and economic cooperation between the USA and the Central Asian countries. However, it is unknown whether the issue of human rights, which is assessed as extremely unfavorable in the region, will be discussed at this meeting.
Earlier, a number of international organizations called on the USA to raise the issue of human rights violations in Central Asia as a key topic at the summit with the leaders of these countries.
They also urged President Donald Trump to raise the issue of human rights violations in Central Asia as a key topic at the summit with the leaders of these countries, demand the immediate release of political prisoners, and facilitate the start of an international dialogue aimed at a peaceful and inclusive political process in the country.
