Azerbaijani prime minister arrives in Tajikistan for CIS meeting

Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov has arrived in Tajikistan to take part in the meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Caliber.Az reports, citing Tajik media.

Notably, the meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of Government will take place on June 5 in Dushanbe. Representatives from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are expected to attend.

The main topics on the agenda include deepening trade and economic cooperation, advancing industrial collaboration (including heavy machinery), promoting cultural and humanitarian ties, healthcare, and the development of volunteer initiatives within the CIS.

A package of documents aimed at further strengthening multifaceted cooperation within the Commonwealth is expected to be signed.

Let us recall that in 2025, the chairmanship in the Commonwealth of Independent States is entrusted to the Republic of Tajikistan.

For the record, the CIS Council of Heads of Government is one of the key executive bodies of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional organisation formed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Council is tasked with coordinating cooperation among member states in economic, social, and other fields. It meets regularly to develop and implement joint initiatives, approve budgets, and sign multilateral agreements. The Council plays a central role in facilitating integration efforts across the post-Soviet space, especially in areas such as trade, infrastructure, and innovation.
