 The Turkmen leader expressed confidence that the implementation of such projects could give a good impetus for the growth of the economies of the region's countries, create preconditions for the formation of a multivariate energy space in Central Asia.

 In his speech, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized that energy was a key component of the economy of the Central Asian states.

 “We are all conceptually united in our views on the configuration and prospects of partnership in this area, - the President said.  - This was confirmed by the repeated and unanimous support by the states of the region for the United Nations General Assembly Resolutions, initiated by Turkmenistan, on the reliability and stability of energy supplies as an important factor in economic growth”.

 The head of Turkmenistan expressed confidence that partnership in the energy sector should be carried out through the active and full participation of all Central Asian states without exception, and it should be aimed at creating a powerful energy infrastructure both within the region and along its external perimeter.
