On March 19, 2025, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov received the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Türkiye Alparslan Bayraktar, who arrived in Turkmenistan to participate in the International Conference “International Year of Peace and Trust: the Role of Interregional Economic Cooperation in Ensuring Sustainable Development”.

Expressing gratitude for the meeting, Alparslan Bayraktar conveyed cordial greetings to the head of state from the President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The head of state, in turn, addressed best wishes to the President of the fraternal country and expressed confidence that the results of the international forum will give a great impetus to the further expansion and strengthening of interstate cooperation in the energy sector.

As the guest emphasized, the fraternal Turkmen-Turkish relations with extensive experience are a solid foundation for the successful implementation of priority tasks in the political, economic, cultural and humanitarian spheres. A clear example of this is the active interaction with the Republic of Türkiye in the energy sector. In this context, it was noted that at present one of the most important issues is the supply of Turkmen gas to the fraternal Republic of Türkiye and other interested states.

Having confirmed Turkmenistan’s readiness to further intensify partnership with Türkiye in the energy sector, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov also expressed the interest of the Turkmen side to consider specific proposals on other issues of interest to our country and to support constructive initiatives of Turkish partners.

At the end of the meeting, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov and Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Türkiye Alparslan Bayraktar expressed confidence that fruitful interstate cooperation will continue to develop successfully for the benefit of the two fraternal states.
