Today, a meeting of the heads of the State Concern «Türkmengaz» with a delegation led by the General Director of the Turkish company «BOTAŞ» Abdulvahid Fidani was held in the capital, during which issues of cooperation in the gas industry were discussed.

As noted, the initiatives of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Hero-Arkadag to develop the fuel and energy complex of our country through diversification are currently being successfully implemented under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. At the same time, great importance is attached to increasing the export potential of this industry.

Consistent expansion of interaction with members of the world community, international organizations and leading energy companies is among the priorities of state policy. In this regard, special attention is paid to enhancing partnership with the Republic of Türkiye.

The ties between the Turkmen and Turkish peoples date back thousands of years and are developing on the principles of mutual respect and understanding. Türkiye is one of the main and reliable trade and economic partners of our country. In this regard, cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, as well as the process of energy exports, is among the priorities of bilateral relations based on equality and taking into account the interests of each party.

It should be noted that during the working visit of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Türkiye in March of this year, documents were signed that allowed to bring bilateral relations to a qualitatively new level and formed the legal basis for expanding cooperation in the oil and gas industry. Among them are the Declaration of Intent on Cooperation in the Field of Hydrocarbon Resources between Turkmenistan and the Republic of Türkiye; the Memorandum of Mutual Cooperation on the Development of Partnership in the Field of Natural Gas between the State Concern «Türkmengaz» and the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Türkiye. At the end of the meeting, confidence was expressed in the further development of interstate partnership in the interests of the fraternal peoples of both countries.
