Today, March 18th, the international forum "Investments in the Future of Turkmenistan" (IFT-2025) took place at the “Ýyldyz” Hotel in Ashgabat, bringing together representatives of business and government structures from around the world. Among the active participants was a delegation from Kazakhstan, headed by the co-chairman of the Kazakh-Turkmen Business Council, Aidar Kazybayev. According to him, more than 30 Kazakh companies representing various industries arrived in Ashgabat to participate in the forum.
The visit is given particular significance by the participation of the Akim (Governor) of the Mangystau Region, which underscores Kazakhstan's commitment to strengthening economic cooperation with Turkmenistan. As Aidar Kazybayev told a correspondent of "Orient" numerous business meetings and negotiations took place within the framework of the forum.
One of the key areas of discussion was the supply of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals for the Cardiology Center of Turkmenistan. Agreements were also reached with pharmaceutical companies to expand the range of Kazakh medicines on the Turkmen market.
Among other initiatives was the signing of an agreement on the development of a project to launch a Financial Academy on Sustainable Development in Turkmenistan. Furthermore, cooperation is planned in the field of ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) and environmental modeling.
Aidar Kazybayev also noted that Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are setting ambitious goals for the future:
— We are currently discussing the launch of direct flights, the simplification of visa regimes and trade procedures. The Turkmen side is showing active interest in the negotiations, and we hope to create comfortable conditions for business on both sides.
