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.
