President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon has traveled to Turkmenistan to participate in an international conference.
On August 4, President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon arrived on a working visit to the city of Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan.
It is reported that Emomali Rahmon arrived to participate in the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries.
The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov met with the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, who arrived to participate in the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries.
The Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries will take place in the city of Turkmenbashi from August 5 to 8, 2025. This event opens opportunities for finding solutions and establishing partnerships aimed at overcoming challenges and fully realizing the potential of these countries in the interests of a more just and prosperous future, the organization stated.
According to the press service of the President of Tajikistan, President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon was warmly welcomed at Turkmenbashi International Airport by the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty (parliament) of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.
As part of this visit, a bilateral meeting took place between Emomali Rahmon and Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov. The parties discussed the development of bilateral cooperation in political, trade-economic, and cultural spheres, emphasizing the need to expand political dialogue and strengthen friendly relations between Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who was previously the President of Turkmenistan for many years, voluntarily stepped down from the presidency in 2022, and after new elections, his son — Serdar Berdymukhamedov — took the presidential office. Currently, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov serves as the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty (parliament) of Turkmenistan, which is considered a key position in the structure of state power.
Experts do not rule out that Emomali Rahmon, who has been leading Tajikistan since 1992, may follow Turkmenistan’s example regarding the transfer of power. Although there have been no official statements on this matter yet, recent political events and the increased political and official activity of his son Rustam Emomali, the mayor of Dushanbe and chairman of the Majlisi Milli, strengthen assumptions about preparations for a transfer of power.
