The President of Russia has signed the corresponding law.
Photo: InternetOn July 14 of this year, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, signed the federal law “On the Ratification of the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan on Cooperation in the Field of Pension Provision.”
This law was adopted by the State Duma of Russia on June 28 of this year and approved by the Federation Council on July 8 of this year.
As reported by the press service of the President of Russia, the federal law ratifies the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan on Cooperation in the Field of Pension Provision, signed in Dushanbe on September 15, 2021.
“The Agreement is based on the desire of the contracting parties to deepen friendly relations and develop cooperation in the field of pension provision,” the statement notes.
The subject of the agreement includes insurance pensions, funded pensions, other payments from pension savings, social pensions, and social burial assistance.
It was previously reported that Russia would withdraw from the agreement on guarantees of the rights of citizens of the CIS member states in the field of pension provision. Thus, on May 24 of this year, this agreement was denounced by the State Duma. It was reported that Russia would exit it starting in 2023.
The agreement on guarantees of the rights of citizens of the CIS member states in the field of pension provision was signed on March 13, 1992, in Moscow.
According to experts, during the war in Ukraine, Russia faced colossal expenses. In addition, the tightening of Western sanctions forced the country to withdraw from some agreements.
However, after Putin’s visit to Tajikistan, which is considered his first working visit abroad since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, both the Federation Council and now President Vladimir Putin have ratified the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan on Cooperation in the Field of Pension Provision, which is a sign of “friendship” between these countries.
According to unofficial statistics, about 2 million Tajik migrants live and work in the Russian Federation. Most labor migrants do not receive pensions either in Tajikistan or in Russia. Every year, a large number of migrants obtain Russian citizenship in hopes of receiving a Russian pension.
