The initiatives put forth by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Hero-Arkadag, aim to develop the fuel and energy sector in Turkmenistan through diversification. These initiatives are currently being successfully implemented under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. Furthermore, great emphasis is placed on increasing the export potential of this industry.

The consistent expansion of interactions with the global community, international organizations, and leading energy companies remains a priority of state policy. In this context, special attention is given to strengthening the partnership with the Republic of Türkiye.

The historical ties between the Turkmen and Turkish peoples span thousands of years, developing on principles of mutual respect and understanding. Türkiye is one of Turkmenistan’s main and most reliable trade and economic partners. Therefore, cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, as well as energy exports, is a key aspect of their bilateral relations, based on equality and mutual interests.

It is noteworthy that during the working visit of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, to the Republic of Türkiye in March of this year, important documents were signed. These documents elevated bilateral relations to a new level and established a legal framework for expanding cooperation in the oil and gas industry. Among these documents are the Declaration of Intent on Cooperation in Hydrocarbon Resources between Turkmenistan and Türkiye, and the Memorandum of Mutual Cooperation on the Development of Partnership in Natural Gas between the State Concern “Türkmengaz” and the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Türkiye.

At the conclusion of the meeting, participants expressed confidence in the continued development of interstate partnerships for the benefit of the brotherly peoples of both nations.
