🎙 Remarks by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the #CIS Heads of State Council meeting (October 8, 2024)
💬 President Vladimir Putin: Colleagues,
I am delighted to welcome all of you to Moscow for a regular meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council, which Russia is hosting as the current Chair of the Commonwealth.
I would like to emphasise that cooperation within the CIS is one of the Russian Federation's top foreign policy priorities. The member states of the Commonwealth are our closest neighbours, friends, and strategic partners, and we are naturally committed to strengthening our cooperation across the board.
<...>
I am confident that we have abundant possibilities for launching new major and mutually beneficial projects in industry, agriculture, finance and infrastructure. <...>
📈 The CIS macroeconomic numbers have noticeably improved, and mutual trade and investment exchanges within the Commonwealth have expanded.
In the first half of the year, the aggregate GDP grew by 4.7%, investment in fixed assets rose by 11.2%, industrial output was up by 4.3 percent, cargo transport volume increased by 4.9%, and retail trade climbed by 8.6%.
🤝 Through our collaborative efforts, we have built a robust financial infrastructure that is immune to external influences. The use of national currencies in mutual payments has expanded, and their share in commercial transactions within the CIS has exceeded 85% and continues to grow.
Import substitution processes are moving fast thus strengthening our country’s technological sovereignty which is critically important considering the challenging global economic and political environment and the unprecedented pressure, particularly in the economy, coming from a number of countries.
Combatting terrorism and extremism, organised crime, drug trafficking, and corruption remains a priority for the CIS collaborative efforts. <...>
Humanitarian ties within the CIS continue to make strides. Partnerships in science, education, culture, and tourism are deepening. <...>
All our countries understand how important it is to preserve common history and prevent its falsification. Young people should certainly know what our peoples achieved during the long period when we lived as a single state, and about heroic deeds of our fathers, especially during the Great Patriotic War.
🏅 In 2025, we will celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War together. In the Commonwealth countries, this will be the Year of Peace and Unity in the Fight Against Nazism. <...>
We have come up with one more specific proposal which is to establish a City of Labour Glory honorary title in the CIS, and bestow it on the CIS cities which made a particularly large contribution to victory in the Great Patriotic War by ensuring the uninterrupted supply of military and civilian products. <...>
As you are aware, Russia holds the chairmanship of BRICS this year. This organisation is gaining momentum and many countries now find it quite attractive. <...>
☝️ We believe that fostering close cooperation among all CIS member states with #BRICS aligns with the interest of strengthening our Commonwealth’s position in the international arena.

🎙 Remarks by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the expanded meeting of the CIS Heads of State (October 8, 2024)
💬 President Vladimir Putin: The Commonwealth of Independent States is developing. All the Leaders gathered here support further deepening of the Commonwealth. We can see that our joint efforts are consistently promoting the #CIS’s authority as a regional integration association.
The Commonwealth members act solely on the principles of mutual understanding, equality and neighbourliness, and successfully solve key tasks to improve our citizens’ well-being and quality of life.
It is largely through this that we have managed to preserve, and in some areas expand, the economic, social, cultural and humanitarian ties that have been developed over many years of living as part of a single state.
📈 As it has been noted numerous times today, the entire span of the CIS shows positive dynamic in macroeconomic and, indeed, economic terms. The GDP of CIS members is growing at a good pace, as trade and investment ties between them are becoming stronger.
For instance, trade between Russia and other CIS states in just seven months of this year grew by an impressive 7.7%, totaling $63.2 billion, in spite of the volatility displayed by the global markets.
Companies from CIS countries carry out mutually beneficial projects in energy, industry, and infrastructure, jointly implement import substitution programmes, as a new, national currency-based financial system impervious to external factors is being established.
Obviously, cooperation between the CIS countries is not limited to the economy. Cooperation on the cultural track, which is based on the sinvere mutual interest of our countries’ peoples in each other’s culture and traditions, is making good headway.
Next year will mark the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. In this regard, a joint Appeal to the Commonwealth nations and the world community will be adopted following the results of our meeting. <...>
☝️ In the current difficult global situation, it is crucial that all CIS states advocate the formation of a fair world order based on universally recognised principles of international law with the pivotal role of the UN. We constantly coordinate positions on key global and regional issues, and our approaches are traditionally close or completely coincide.

🇷🇺🇹🇲 On October 11, President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a meeting with the national leader of the Turkmen people and Speaker of Halk Maslahaty (People’s Council) of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much, Mr Berdimuhamedov. I am also delighted to see you. In fact, we have not met for quite some time, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to have this face-to-face meeting with you and this conversation.
Russia and Turkmenistan have built a positive track record in promoting their strategic partnership, which is largely attributable to your efforts. You laid the groundwork for forging this close, trust-based relationship between our countries. We sincerely welcome this position and will do everything to maintain this momentum.
We have developed a positive relationship with the current President, which includes both official and personal ties. He regularly visits Russia, and was there just recently for the #CIS summit in Moscow. We look forward to seeing him in Kazan at the #BRICS Leaders’ Summit. I believe that these meetings will be quite interesting and beneficial. There will be many countries there. In fact, as of today, 35 countries have registered to attend the summit. We also expect to see your President at the CIS leaders’ meeting in St Petersburg on New Year’s Eve.
There has been positive momentum in our trade and economic ties, and effective projects are underway.
🤝 We see progress in our region-to-region ties. In fact, 6️⃣0️⃣ Russian regions have been working closely with their friends and partners in Turkmenistan. It is quite natural for Tatarstan, the Astrakhan Region, as well as St Petersburg to lead the pack in this category.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during the expanded-format talks with Deputy Prime Minister – Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan Murat Nurtleu (Astana, November 7, 2024)
💬 As always, I am delighted to find myself among our friends in Kazakhstan and to benefit from the opportunity to continue our proactive dialogue. You have just mentioned the number of times our presidents, you and I, and our allies meet every year.
🇷🇺🇰🇿 Indeed, relations between Russia and Kazakhstan have been gathering momentum. We have been working hard to prepare President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to Kazakhstan, scheduled for November 27. We are drafting several dozen documents, just as we discussed during the restricted-format meeting. We will make sure to fast-track this process to make this summit meeting as effective and results-driven as possible.
Russia and Kazakhstan have made great strides in expanding their region-to-region and inter-parliamentary ties. Ufa will be hosting the XX Inter-Regional Cooperation Forum. We hope that our leaders will be able to deliver their greetings via videoconference to the regional delegates from our two countries.
We are also looking forward to expanding our ties within multilateral platforms such as the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS and the #SCO. Kazakhstan has been invited to join BRICS as a partner country. It is our hope that this will add a new dimension to our contacts regarding present-day global challenges, especially as we are witnessing and living in a time of change.
📈 Trade and economic cooperation has also enjoyed positive momentum. There are flagship strategic projects underway, including the effort to upgrade the Central Asia – Centre natural gas pipeline, and many other energy projects. This includes agreements on gas supplies to Uzbekistan, as well as delivering gas to connect Kazakhstan’s northeastern regions to gas distribution networks, which could potentially pave the way for launching gas deliveries to China. All these efforts are aimed at creating resilient infrastructure in a sector which serves as a key economic development driver.
Cultural, humanitarian and educational ties, projects to open joint schools in Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as efforts by universities to open more branches, and the opening of Russia’s consulate in Aktau – all these undertakings will promote closer people-to-people ties, bringing those who are interested in these contacts closer together.
🤝 I am certain the Plan of Consultations and Cooperation for 2025 and 2026 that we will be signing today will make our contribution to these processes even more effective.

📃 Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus on their shared vision of the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century
Common Vision of a Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the XXI century
💬 We, the representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus proceed from the recognition of the following key realities of our time:
DIVERSITY AS THE WORLD'S FOUNDATION — Diversity in basics of life, civilizations, cultures, traditions, peculiar features of historical development and value systems has been inherent to the world, while the state's formation as the key unit of international relations has given rise to a diversity in forms of political governance and models of domestic social, economic, cultural and humanitarian development that states came to assume. <...>
MULTIPOLARITY ON THE HORIZON — The world's inherent diversity has set it on an inexorable trajectory towards multipolarity. The trend presents an opportunity to build a lasting, fair and inclusive democratic world order underpinned by peaceful coexistence for the sake of ensuring security and full prosperity for all countries based on mutually beneficial cooperation and genuine multilateralism. <...>
IMPORTANCE OF EURASIA — Factors like geographical location, size, population and resource potential have all combined to shape Eurasia in a historical perspective as a vital player in international relations, which still drives global development in general. It is Eurasia that makes a major contribution to sustained growth in the world economy while it is here that independent development centers strengthen their global reach. <...>
☝️ In this regard we commit ourselves to:
RELY ON INTERNATIONAL LAW — Be guided in our actions by the norms of international law, based on the UN Charter in its both entirety and interrelationship as well as on other international legally binding documents. <...>
CREATE A MULTIPOLAR WORLD — Promote efforts to establish, in a most accelerated manner possible, a multipolar world and a just global order. <...>
STRENGTHEN SECURITY — Build a new pan-continental security cooperation architecture predicated on the principles of indivisible security, justice, legitimacy, sustainability and joint contribution by stakeholders. <...>
MAKE USE OF EURASIAN MECHANISMS — Make use of multilateral cooperation mechanisms operating on the Eurasian continent, including, among others, the #EAEU, #CSTO, #CIS, #SCO, #ASEAN, #CICA, #LAS, #GCC and the #UnionState with regard to cooperation in specific areas, while promoting cross-platform activities and joint initiatives. <...>
🇷🇺🇧🇾 We, the representatives of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus invite all Eurasian states to join a dialogue on a whole range of issues that affect principles of cooperation in the multipolar era and that cover a pan-continental architecture of security; cooperation and development with the view to drafting a "Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the XXI Century", while giving due consideration to the provisions set out in this document.
