25.01.2025

Turkmenistan and the European Union will continue active cooperation in the field of transport. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Myahri Byashimova at a briefing on the results of cooperation with the EU in 2024 and plans for 2025. Byashimova noted that transport is one of the key areas of cooperation. Last year, the Global Gate forum was held in Brussels, following which a coordination platform for the development of transport links between Europe and Central Asia was created. In October, the Trans-Caspian Corridor coordination platform was launched in Ashgabat at the level of transport ministers. EU Ambassador to Ashgabat Beata Peksa added that a visit by an EU delegation to Turkmenistan is planned for this year. EU parliamentarians will visit Ashgabat and Turkmenbashy to inspect the Turkmenbashy port, which is an important point in the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and attracts the attention of European investors.
