The Concept defines the implementation of program measures to promote the socio-economic development of Afghanistan as one of the important aspects of interaction in the ECO format.
To solve these problems and to intensify the activities of Turkmenistan in the ECO, it is envisaged to carry out appropriate work in a number of topical areas.
In particular, it is proposed to organize a visit to Turkmenistan of the ECO Secretary General in March 2021 and consider holding the 15th high-level meeting of this Organization in Ashgabat on ECO Day.
After hearing the report, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted the fruitful nature of interaction with the ECO, of which Turkmenistan has been a member since 1992.
