Serdar Berdimuhamedov received the Executive Director of the Turkmenistan-USA Business Council
President Serdar Berdimuhamedov received Eric Stewart, Executive Director of the Turkmenistan-USA Business Council, on Tuesday, December 5, discussing with him the state and prospects of bilateral trade and economic cooperation.
Turkmenistan attaches great importance to the development of friendly relations with the United States of America, the head of state said, noting that the holding of the 10th anniversary joint business forum in Ashgabat is designed to strengthen the Turkmen-American investment partnership. This was reported in the news release of the Turkmen State Television.
Noting the dynamic nature of bilateral cooperation, which is developing on the principles of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit, the parties confirmed the readiness of Turkmenistan and the United States to expand diverse ties on a long-term basis. In this context, the important contribution of the joint Business Council to the development of interstate trade and economic relations was noted.
Over the past 15 years since its foundation, the Council has become an effective instrument of Turkmen-American cooperation, an effective platform for establishing, strengthening and activating contacts between economic entities of the two countries. The large US companies included in it are successfully operating in the Turkmen market in strategically important sectors. At the same time, more and more representatives of American business are showing interest in cooperation with Turkmenistan.
The large-scale projects implemented in the country to diversify the national economy in the presence of the richest natural resources, and the foreign policy course based on the principle of "open doors" create prerequisites for increasing effective cooperation. The oil and gas sector, electric power industry, renewable energy, transport and communications, agro-industrial complex, high technology and others are among the promising areas.
The program of the visit of the US business mission also includes bilateral meetings with officials of the Government of Turkmenistan.
