US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a meeting with his Kazakh counterpart, appreciated the country’s support for US President Donald Trump’s peace initiatives, including the Abraham Accords, which led to the normalization of relations between some Arab countries and the Israeli regime.
Washington’s efforts to gain support from Central Asian countries for initiatives related to the Middle East could be interpreted by critics as an expansion of American influence and interference in the region’s political equations.
Rubio has continued to emphasize expanding economic and security cooperation between the United States and Kazakhstan and continuing engagement through the “C5+1” diplomatic framework.
