Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, speaking on Wednesday in Beijing at a high-level conference on interconnectivity within the framework of the Third International Forum “One Belt, One Road”, drew attention to the main directions of the energy policy of our country.
Important elements of the Turkmen approach are the depoliticization of cooperation, moving away from the one-sidedness of energy and transport flows in favor of their diversification and accessibility for broad international participation, Hero-Arkadag noted.
A striking example of this approach is the Turkmen-Chinese energy partnership, emphasized the head of Khalk Maslakhaty.
The commissioning of a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to China in 2009 marked the beginning of the formation of a new architecture of relations in the energy sector on the continent and opened up prospects for other states to join the project on a mutually beneficial and equal basis, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said.
According to him, the same logic is followed by the implementation of another major international project – the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline.
“Today we are working to expand the geography and volume of international supplies of Turkmen natural gas and electricity. Power transmission and fiber-optic communication lines have been laid from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are a number of other major projects on the cooperation agenda in these segments,” emphasized the head of the People’s Council of Turkmenistan.
