President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov met with Iranian Energy Minister Abbas Ali Abadi and Chairman of the Central Bank of Iran Mohammadreza Farzi. During the visit, the sides discussed the expansion of bilateral cooperation in the oil and gas sector and diversification of energy supplies to world markets, TDH reported.
As it was noted, fraternal and good-neighborly relations between Turkmenistan and Iran go back to ancient times and today traditionally develop on the basis of mutual respect and understanding both in the bilateral format and within the framework of international organizations.
Trade and economic cooperation is one of the priority areas of bilateral relations. Iran occupies an important place in Turkmenistan’s foreign trade turnover.
As is well known, Turkmenistan supports diversification of energy supplies to the world markets. Currently, our country is working with its partners on the implementation of several significant energy projects. Emphasizing that these activities are carried out taking into account environmental safety, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov reaffirmed Turkmenistan’s readiness to support initiatives and proposals aimed at further development and strengthening of bilateral relations.
