Marat Khusnullin and Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Nokerguly Atagulyev

The 13th meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation was held in Ashgabat under the co-chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin and Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Nokerguly Atagulyev.

"Today, we are holding the first full-scale meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Turkmen Commission on Economic Cooperation in its new composition. We are committed to actively working to deepen trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation between our countries and to implement major mutually beneficial projects. Overall, Russian-Turkmen cooperation has a solid foundation and continues to grow dynamically. Trade turnover has grown by more than 30% in the first seven months of this year. It is important to continue increasing trade turnover, including through the possibility of Russian marketplaces entering the Turkmen market. We also collaborate on issues of industry, energy, culture, and education," said Marat Khusnullin.

During the meeting, significant attention was devoted to the development of transport infrastructure. Measures are being implemented to increase transportation by rail, road, and air. Work continues on developing the North-South international transport corridor.

The Deputy Prime Minister also acknowledged the successful presence of Russian business in key sectors of the Turkmen economy, noting that Russian companies such as KAMAZ have been operating in Turkmenistan for many years, and that Russian companies supply equipment and perform complex repairs in the oil and gas sector.

"The Russian market is a priority for us. We are interested in both importing and exporting our products, and we see significant potential for developing cooperation in industry, digitalization, and agriculture. We will also facilitate joint events for the business communities of both countries. In education, we are interested in exploring Russian digital solutions to create a unified educational system. The protocol of today's meeting covers all areas of bilateral relations, and we will make every effort to implement the planned measures," said Nokerguly Atagulyev.

Following the meeting, a package of documents was signed, including the minutes of the intergovernmental commission meeting, action plans for cooperation between the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and Turkmenistan's Ministry of Education, and between Rosreestr and the Ministry of Agriculture of Turkmenistan. Additionally, an agreement on technological and marketing cooperation between the St. Petersburg and Turkmenistan Commodity and Raw Materials Exchanges was signed, as well as an agreement between the customs services of the two countries on streamlining customs procedures for the movement of goods and transport services between Russia and Turkmenistan. Three memorandums on cooperation in equestrian sports and horse breeding were also signed.

More than 50 representatives from relevant agencies and companies participated in the commission's work on the Russian side. The intergovernmental commission also included talks between the St. Petersburg administration and the Ashgabat mayor's office.

Marat Khusnullin also held a working meeting with Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to the Turkmen head of state for the opportunity to discuss strategic partnership between the countries. They discussed prospects for cooperation in key sectors. The parties also discussed transportation issues, as well as the shallowing of the Caspian Sea, and outlined avenues for further cooperation.

"The leaders of our countries – Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Serdar Gurbangulyevich Berdimuhamedov – are constantly focused on strengthening bilateral relations. This year, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War together. We appreciate that in Turkmenistan, like in Russia, we cherish the memory of the courage and heroism of our ancestors who fought together against fascism," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

During his working visit to Turkmenistan, Marat Khusnullin also visited the new smart city of Arkadag, where he learned about the experience of his Turkmen colleagues in housing construction, integrated territorial development, and public amenities. The visit also included a visit to the Aba Annayev International Horse Breeding Academy, the city circus, and the country's main mosque, Turkmenbashi Ruhy, in the village of Kipchak.

Order No. 2804-r of October 7, 2025

Document

Order No. 2804-r of October 7, 2025

Over 650 million rubles will be additionally allocated to seven regions to provide assistance to citizens through social contracts. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order reallocating federal budget funds for this purpose.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, October 13, 2025

Funds will be distributed to Buryatia, Dagestan, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Karelia, Chechnya, Primorsky Krai, and Kursk Oblast. The need for additional funding is due to the high demand for this support tool in these regions.

A social contract is a special agreement concluded between social protection agencies and low-income citizens. With the help of a social contract, people can retrain and improve their skills to find a new job, start a business, receive funds to develop a personal farm, or purchase clothing, footwear, and school supplies for children. By presidential decree, this support tool has become available in all regions of the country since 2021. Total federal funding for its implementation in 2025 will amount to over 40 billion rubles.

The issue was discussed at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on October 13. Mikhail Mishustin noted that the government will continue to do everything necessary to improve people's well-being. "This is one of the national goals approved by the President," the prime minister emphasized.

Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socioeconomic Development of the Far East

Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socioeconomic Development of the Far East.

"First, we'll consider the changes being made to the social development plans for economic growth centers. The presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy has enabled the construction and reconstruction of over 2,000 social facilities in the Far East, including 138 facilities this year. We discussed with regional heads at the District Council that, due to planning errors or insufficient oversight in several Far Eastern regions, we are forced to shift funding from one facility to another. This applies, for example, to Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, Kamchatka, Zabaykalsky Krai, and the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). We will increase our focus on the efficiency and timeliness of budget expenditures," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.

As part of the amendments to the social development plans for economic growth centers in the Far Eastern regions, the allocation of federal budget funds through the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy for 2026–2028 was approved for master plan projects and other activities in Buryatia, Yakutia, Transbaikalia, Kamchatka, Primorye, Khabarovsk Krai, Amur and Magadan Oblasts, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, and Chukotka.

The Republic of Buryatia will receive funding for 2026–2027 for projects under the Ulan-Ude and Severobaikalsk master plans, as well as other activities. The funds will be used for land protection engineering for the Baikal Interuniversity Campus, roof and façade repairs on the Gostinodvorsky Rows, the purchase of buses, the construction of a water rescue station, a prosthetics center, a rehabilitation and adaptation center, a school kitchen, and more.

Yakutia will receive funding for master plan projects in Yakutsk and Neryungri: the construction of the "Courage" children's camp in Neryungri and the development of design documentation for the construction of a Far Eastern film studio.

The funds will be used for the improvement of courtyards and public spaces, the development of design documentation for the improvement of Chita's historic center, the construction of a bus station in Krasnokamensk, the overhaul of three sports schools, the overhaul of a children's sanatorium, and the creation of the Avangard and Voin centers.

Kamchatka Krai's proposal to allocate funds for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky's master plan projects was supported: renovation of two cultural heritage sites; construction of a kindergarten; and storm drainage for Lake Kultuchnoye.

Primorye will receive funding for Vladivostok's master plan projects: the Russkiy Scientific and Technical Center on Russkiy Island; the Solnechny Family Recreation Center as part of the Far Eastern concession; and the design of wastewater treatment facilities on Russkiy Island.

Khabarovsk Krai will receive funding for master plan projects in Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The funds will be allocated for the improvement of boulevards in Khabarovsk; the renovation of the façades of cultural heritage sites in Komsomolsk-on-Amur; the improvement of the culture and recreation park in Komsomolsk-on-Amur; the embankment for the checkpoint on Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island; and the creation of a rifle range.

The Amur Region will receive funding for the reconstruction of a city park in Blagoveshchensk under the Far Eastern concession. The project is part of Blagoveshchensk's master plan.

The Magadan Region will receive additional funding for the creation of a marine tourism center under the Far Eastern concession. The facility is part of Magadan's master plan.

The Jewish Autonomous Region will receive funding for Birobidzhan's master plan projects and other activities. Funds from the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy will be used for the improvement of the Jewish Quarter, the modernization of the regional hospital, the overhaul of two technical schools, the improvement of kindergarten grounds, the repair of sidewalks and driveways, and the development of design documentation for major school renovations.

Chukotka will receive funds for Anadyr's master plan projects and other projects. These include the design of a rehabilitation center, the modernization of a fisheries enterprise, the design of a building for a technical school, the reconstruction and construction of industrial park buildings, the overhaul of an education center, and a modular gymnasium.

The discussion focused on changes to the mechanism for providing state support to legal entities implementing investment projects in the Far East, specifically reimbursing infrastructure development costs. "Fifteen projects in eight regions of the Far Eastern Federal District have been selected for subsidies. All of them are large and important, addressing key regional development issues," said Yuri Trutnev.

According to the decision of the Presidium of the Government Commission on Socioeconomic Development of the Far East, the following projects will receive support:

Kamchatka Krai (construction of a hotel and business complex and hostel in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky by Novy Dom LLC, construction of the Laguna spa hotel in the village of Paratunka by Golubaya Laguna LLC);

The project has been underway since 2018, and construction and installation work has already been completed. The launch of the conveyor line will reduce coal transportation costs.
