A Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Heads of State Summit and Foreign Ministers Council were convened on October 11-13 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. 🇦🇲🇦🇿🇧🇾🇰🇿🇰🇬🇷🇺🇹🇯🇹🇲🇺🇿 Russian President Putin noted that the leaders of the CIS countries are still people who are guided first and foremost by national interests as they face secondary sanctions for conducting business with Russia and Belarus. Despite these threats, economic ties and exchanges within the CIS are constantly expanding. He also expressed that CIS nations should expand the use of payments in national currencies. The CIS FM’s approved a proposal by Kazakhstan to create the categories of observer countries and partner countries for the group. Tajikistan’s President E. Rahmon, stressed on the continuous implementation of the CIS economic development strategy due to growing threats to economic security. Russia will assume the CIS Presidency in 2024 and will focus on integration processes in the CIS space, in particular to strengthen the Commonwealth’s contacts with the EAEU in the economic sphere and with the CSTO and SCO in the field of security. Russia is ready to assist Armenia and Azerbaijan to work towards and facilitate the signing of a peace treaty. Russia believes that the Israel-Palestine conflict can only be resolved through negotiations aiming to create an independent Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital. New Eastern Outlook Notes: Central Asian countries are experiencing unheard-of growth, much due to Russian businesses moving to the region. Tajikistan’s 7.5% GDP growth, Uzbekistan’s predicted 6.5%, Kazakhstan at 5%, followed by Kyrgyzstan seeing 4.6% GDP growth, despite sanctions and treat of secondary sanctions by Western countries. It seems former Soviet republics would want to benefit from Western stupidity. Despite the West pulling out all the stops against Russia, many countries worldwide are benefitting from and helping the Russian economy.
