Turkmenistan has long taken an active position regarding Afghanistan, consistently involving it in large-scale regional infrastructure projects. These include the construction of the TAPI gas pipeline, the TAP power transmission and fiber-optic communication lines aimed at improving the energy and digital infrastructure, and railway routes that open up new trade and transport opportunities for Afghanistan.
These projects are not only economically beneficial, but also contribute to the creation of jobs, economic development, and strengthening regional ties.
