"We have recently communicated within the 5th Caspian Summit, where we signed a very important document on the settlement of the situation in the Caspian Sea," the Russian president said.

In Sochi Putin and Berdimuhamedov will talk about bilateral relations.

"We will discuss all the issues that are of interest for bilateral relations, namely, economy, social sphere, the issues of interaction in the humanitarian field, our international activity," Putin said.

"Turkmenistan and the Russian Federation are strategic partners," Berdimuhamedov said.

"You are doing a lot today in the international arena in the name of stability and security, and to strengthen friendship between Turkmenistan and the Russian Federation, so I would like to thank you for this huge personal contribution," the Turkmen president said.

The agenda of the meeting in Sochi includes priority issues of the Turkmen-Russian partnership in key areas.

There are great opportunities for diversification and intensification of contacts, stimulation of business and investment activity.
