The main item on the agenda for the meeting of the permanent plenipotentiary representatives was the presentation of the Concept for Turkmenistan’s 2026 CIS Chairmanship and the action plan for its implementation. “Turkmenistan views the CIS as a key regional platform that unites countries with a shared history, language, interests, and economy. Accordingly, Turkmenistan’s CIS Chairmanship Concept for 2026 is built upon these pillars. Commenting on Turkmenistan’s chairmanship in the CIS, CIS Secretary General Sergey Lebedev emphasized that, given the country’s geographical location, economic issues would become a priority. In particular, the CIS Forum of Creative and Scientific Intellectuals will take place,” Sergey Lebedev noted.
