During the meeting, it was noted that Turkey is one of the largest trade and economic partners of Turkmenistan and occupies one of the leading positions in the country's foreign trade turnover. In this context, it was emphasized that there are great opportunities for the development of bilateral and regional ties in the fuel and energy, transport and communications, agricultural and investment sectors.
The meeting emphasized active cooperation with Turkey in the energy sector. Currently, one of the most important issues is the supply of Turkmen gas to the Republic of Turkey and further to other interested states.
President Serdar Berdimuhamedov also noted that Turkish companies are implementing a number of projects on the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea.
