Afghanistan - an important partner of Turkmenistan in Central Asia
Afghanistan is an important partner of Turkmenistan in the Central Asian region. This was stated at the Turkmen-Afghan business forum by the Minister of Trade and Foreign Economic Relations of Turkmenistan Dovran Orazmyradov.
The forum was held within the framework of the 7th Regional Economic Cooperation Conference on Afghanistan (RECCAVII).
How many states in the world can say that a country with a long-standing internal conflict is their reliable partner? But Turkmen Minister reinforced his statement with facts.
According to him, the trade turnover between the two countries reached 513 million dollars and grew by 22 percent. In total, 94 investment projects and contracts with the participation of Afghan companies were registered in Turkmenistan.
Such turnover, significant for the region, was created due to the export of production of fuel and energy complex, agriculture and other branches of the economy of Turkmenistan to Afghanistan.
There are also projects for the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan railway.
Turkmenistan has always believed that partnership and creation are stronger than war and destruction.
