Таджикистан в роли председателя в органах Содружества Независимых Государств сменил Россию. Сопредседателями в Содружестве в 2025 году станут Российская Федерация и Туркменистан, как будущий председатель. Tajikistan has replaced Russia as the chair of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The co-chairs will be the Russian Federation, as the former chair, and Turkmenistan, as the future chair of the CIS.

Speaking at a meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of State in Moscow in October, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon called the launch of a discussion on improving the activities of the Commonwealth one of the main priorities of the country's chairmanship. According to him, Tajikistan will also work to strengthen cooperation between the CIS countries in combating security risks and threats.

Rahmon separately noted that during the republic's chairmanship of the CIS, serious attention will be paid to celebrating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In addition, Tajikistan sees the promotion of economic, environmental, cultural and humanitarian agendas in the Commonwealth, as well as the development of parliamentary cooperation, as priorities.
