This step aims to establish a practical mechanism for implementing shared economic priorities, thereby demonstrating a high level of mutual trust and a readiness for collaborative expert work.

Ambassador Esen Aydogdyev emphasized that Ashgabat remains committed to constructive dialogue with international financial institutions. The imperative of the times calls for a focus on concrete, measurable results that will foster the stability and growth of the national economy.

The meeting in Washington confirmed that the partnership between Turkmenistan and the IMF is evolving from a system of standard consultations into a framework of long-term engagement, tailored to address the contemporary challenges of the global economy.
