President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov left for a working visit to the Russian Federation to participate in an informal high-level summit of Heads of State of CIS member states. This was reported by TDH.

The Head of State was seen off by officials at the capital's international airport.

The informal CIS summit has no fixed agenda and serves as a platform for exchanging views on regional stability, the economy and humanitarian cooperation, as well as summarising the year and discussing plans for the future.

Turkmenistan, which has permanent neutrality status and is an associate member of the CIS, participates in the activities of the Commonwealth, focusing on the development of economic cooperation, transport and logistics links, energy diplomacy and environmental security.

A few hours later, the President of Turkmenistan's plane arrived at St. Petersburg International Airport, where the Head of State was met by officials.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov's working visit to the Russian Federation continues.
