Azerbaijani President to Miss Informal CIS Summit in St. Petersburg
The presidential administration informed a media outlet that Aliyev’s absence from the summit, scheduled later in the day in St. Petersburg, is due to his demanding work commitments.
Officials also highlighted that Aliyev did not join the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) leaders’ meeting in St. Petersburg the previous day, noting that Azerbaijan is not a member of the bloc, which was formed in 2015.
Despite this, the administration emphasized that Azerbaijan consistently takes part in official CIS summits and places significant importance on collaboration within the regional intergovernmental framework.
On Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a Russian news agency that President Vladimir Putin is expected to hold separate talks with Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during the informal CIS summit. However, Aliyev’s participation has not been officially confirmed.
The CIS, created in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union, was designed to foster cooperation in economic, political, and security matters among its member states.
