During the meeting, they talked about crucial topics such as the transportation of Turkmen gas to Türkiye and Europe, and the construction of a power plant on Turkmenistan’s Caspian Sea coast.

The discussions also highlighted opportunities for Turkish companies to take part in developing several sectors in Turkmenistan, including fuel and energy, mining, transport and communications, agriculture, and investment.
President Berdimuhamedov pointed out that Türkiye is a major partner in Turkmenistan’s foreign trade and that there is significant potential for developing beneficial bilateral and regional relations, according to the Turkmen state agency.
