The 2nd B5+1 Forum will be held in Bishkek on February 4–5, 2026. It was announced during a briefing for Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary dedicated to preparations for the upcoming event.

It was noted that the forum is being held in pursuance of the agreements reached at the C5+1 summit, which took place on November 6 in Washington. The main goal of the event is to strengthen regional integration, increase the investment attractiveness of Central Asian countries, and expand economic cooperation with the United States.

The forum is expected to be an important step in developing new economic priorities and partnership initiatives within the Central Asia — USA format.
