One of the priorities of cooperation between Turkmenistan and the People's Republic of China is the fuel and energy sector. This was stated by President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in an interview with Chinese media before his trip to China to participate in the opening of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.
At the same time, the Turkmen leader emphasized that our states have great potential in the oil and gas sector.
“Evidence of this was the construction and commissioning of the strategic gas pipeline Turkmenistan-China at the end of 2009,” Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said.
The Turkmen leader added that “the implementation of this project was an example of a truly partnership based on equality, awareness of mutual advantages, on a large-scale vision of the prospects and opportunities that opened up with the start of the gas pipeline. This is also a real, practical embodiment of the goal of ensuring a balance of interests of all participants in pipeline energy projects – both producers, and transit countries, and consumers.
“Today we are working on increasing the volume of supplies of Turkmen natural gas, taking into account the growing needs of the economy of the People's Republic of China and the possibilities of the resource base of Turkmenistan,” Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said.
“In this regard, we are ready for a substantive discussion of the possibilities of building the 4th pipeline route from Turkmenistan to China,” the Turkmen leader added.
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov also noted that “work is proceeding fruitfully within the framework of the Turkmen-Chinese Cooperation Committee, at a meeting of which in November 2021 5 documents were signed, including the Cooperation Program between the government of Turkmenistan and the government of China for a period of 5 years (2021-2025 years)”.
“We consider this Program as a solid basis for further progress,” the Turkmen leader said.
“Speaking in general, the two states have a huge space and prospects for interaction in politics, economy and trade, transport and energy, investments, high technologies, in the cultural and humanitarian fields,” Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized, answering questions for Chinese Media, including CCTV, CGTN, Xinhua news agency, People's Daily newspaper.
