Turkmenistan will host the next meeting of the High-Level Working Group (HLWG) on the Caspian Sea, with the date to be set through diplomatic channels. The announcement followed the tenth HLWG session, which took place in Moscow from May 5 to 7, 2025.
The meeting brought together delegations from the five Caspian littoral states: Turkmenistan (headed by M.G. Atajanov), Azerbaijan (S.A. Sharifov), Iran (A. Jahangiri), Kazakhstan (Z.A. Amanzholova), and Russia (M.I. Petrakov), who also chaired the session.
Participants discussed methods for determining direct baselines in the Caspian Sea - a key step toward defining maritime boundaries - and reviewed ongoing regional cooperation. They also began preparations for the upcoming meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Caspian states.
Delegations positively assessed the outcome of the negotiations and thanked Russia for its high-level organization of the event.
