Record growth was noted in the non-oil trade of Turkmenistan and the UAE and a photo from the diplomatic reception
On the occasion of the 51st National Day of the UAE, which is celebrated in honor of the unity of the seven emirates, the embassy of this country in Ashgabat gave a solemn reception.
On behalf of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the government of Turkmenistan, Deputy Prime Minister Batyr Atdaev delivered a congratulatory speech at the reception on Friday evening.
He noted that the UAE has received wide recognition in the world for its great achievements in the socio-economic sphere, in strengthening the state structure, and improving the well-being of the people.
Friendly and fraternal relations between Turkmenistan and the United Arab Emirates are distinguished by a high level of mutual understanding and close cooperation. This is evidenced by the growth in trade between the two countries and the participation of Emirati investors in a number of major projects being implemented in Turkmenistan.
In this context, the recent official visit of President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov to the UAE (November 21-22) and the meetings and negotiations held within its framework, which laid the foundation for a new stage in bilateral relations, were noted.
Currently, the United Arab Emirates is a major trading partner of Turkmenistan, with bilateral non-oil trade reaching $653 million in the first nine months of this year, a record growth of 296% over last year. UAE Ambassador Ahmed Al-Khai Al-Hameli said this.
