The results of the VI Caspian Summit, held in Ashgabat on Wednesday, June 29, were announced in a press statement made by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Rashid Meredov.

The seventh Caspian summit will take place at the agreed time in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is stated in the Communiqué of the VI Caspian Summit, held on Wednesday in Ashgabat.

The mechanism of regular consultations under the auspices of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs at the level of special representatives of the Caspian states is designed to provide conditions for the interaction of state bodies of the five countries.

International business, financial institutions are attentive and interested in the Caspian region, understand its potential and geo-economic value, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted at the IV Caspian Summit, which brought together leaders of coastal states in Ashgabat on Wednesday.

President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov called the provision of strong, long-term and indivisible security in the region one of the main tasks and, at the same time, an indispensable condition for the success of five-sided cooperation in the Caspian Sea.

The VI Caspian Summit has moved to an expanded format – a meeting of the heads of the Caspian littoral states held in Ashgabat on Wednesday ended with a meeting in a narrow format. The Presidents moved to another, more spacious hall, where they were joined by members of the delegations of five countries.

The VI Caspian Summit opened in Ashgabat. The meeting of the heads of Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Iran and the Russian Federation is taking place at the Arkadag Hotel.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahian stressed the importance of the agreement on direct baselines, speaking at a meeting of the foreign Ministers of the Caspian littoral states on Tuesday in Ashgabat.

The level of five-sided cooperation since the previous meeting of foreign ministers of the Caspian states four years ago has grown markedly, which dictates the need for us to meet more often in this format, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Kazakhstan, within the framework of the Caspian cooperation, supports, firstly, the expansion of transit-transport and investment cooperation, the creation of new multimodal routes, including using the Caspian transport corridors that are not fully involved.
