Today, the working visit of Chairman of the Khalk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation began.

The main goal of the trip is to participate in the XVI International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum", which traditionally brings together representatives of more than 80 countries.

For Turkmenistan, this forum is an important international platform where key issues of trade and economic cooperation, attracting investments, developing cultural and humanitarian ties between Russia and the Islamic world are discussed.

Turkmenistan's active participation in the event reflects the country's strategic course on strengthening foreign economic relations and expanding international cooperation.

Turkmenistan, as is known, participates in the work of such organizations as the Islamic Development Bank and the Islamic Organization for Food Security, which has received high praise from the international community. Turkmenistan is ready to share its positive experience with partners, including within the framework of forum events.

Tatarstan is a key partner among Russian regions

Special attention during the visit was paid to interaction with Russian regions. The Republic of Tatarstan occupies an important place in the Turkmen-Russian partnership due to its powerful industrial potential, developed scientific and educational base, as well as historically strong ties between the peoples.

In recent years, cooperation between Turkmenistan and Tatarstan has reached a new level. Joint projects in the fields of industry, trade, transport, agriculture and food industry are being successfully implemented. Interest in developing cooperation in science, education and culture is growing.

From constructive cooperation to new projects

A significant aspect of the forum is Turkmenistan's participation in the discussion of issues of interaction with the Islamic world. The Turkmen side is actively promoting its initiatives within the framework of the Islamic Cooperation Organization, the Islamic Development Bank and the Islamic Organization for Food Security. The high assessment of the Turkmen experience by partners confirms the demand for this area.

One of the central events of the forum is traditionally the international exhibition of the halal industry "Russia Halal Expo 2025". Turkmenistan presented one of the largest national expositions there.

The exhibition showcases a wide range of products from Turkmen enterprises representing various industries and agriculture. Experts note the high quality of Turkmen goods, their compliance with international standards and the steady growth of demand in the Russian market.

Products from Turkmen enterprises, including light and food industry goods, agricultural products, are in high demand and meet the best world standards.

Experts note the steady growth of Turkmen exports to Russia and other countries, which opens up new prospects for business cooperation.

A visit that strengthens strategic partnership

Experts believe that the participation of National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in the KazanForum opens new horizons for economic cooperation and humanitarian interaction.

As part of his visit to Kazan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov will hold important meetings and negotiations. It is expected that they will discuss current issues of bilateral cooperation, the implementation of joint projects and the expansion of interaction on international platforms.

The upcoming negotiations are intended to strengthen the strategic partnership between Turkmenistan and the Russian Federation, as well as to promote the development of ties with the Islamic world on the principles of respectful and mutually beneficial dialogue.
