Turkmenistan is actively developing its shipbuilding potential in the Caspian Sea, leveraging global technologies, including advanced expertise of the Republic of Korea.

Recently, Kim Jun-chul, Chargé d'Affaires of the Republic of Korea, visited the Balkan Shipyard to review the progress of a joint project, as reported on the website of the Korean Embassy in Turkmenistan.
