Possibilities to export Turkmen handmade carpets and carpet products to the Saudi market and further to the markets of Arab nations were discussed along with investment projects in Turkmenistan’s carpet industry. The Saudi side offered to organize an exhibition of Turkmen handmade carpets and carpet products in Riyadh, and establish a working group to address this issue.
