US Secretary of State John Kerry is set to travel to Central Asia in the coming days for bilateral and multilateral talks with his counterparts in the region.
The State Department said on October 27 that Kerry will embark on his first visit to Central Asia after attending multilateral talks on Syria starting in Vienna on October 29.
The tour, due to end on November 3, will also be the first-ever visit by a U.S. secretary of state to all five Central Asian republics on the same trip.
