06.04.2024

According to Central Asia columnist Vadim Shagiakhmedov, Turkmenistan is confidently moving towards becoming a transcontinental transport bridge linking the European, Asia-Pacific and South Asian economic systems.

The expert notes that the country is actively working on the development of transport infrastructure in the East-West and North-South directions. New bridges are being built, modern high-speed motorways and railways are being laid, and air and sea routes are being developed. Turkmenistan consistently supports the expansion of mutually beneficial multilateral cooperation in the transport sector.

Shagiakhmedov emphasizes that Turkmenistan has a unique geographical location that allows the country to integrate naturally into international transport corridors. The huge resource potential and developed logistics infrastructure define Turkmenistan as one of the largest participants in world trade and commodity exchange.

According to the observer, Turkmenistan regularly takes initiatives to create transcontinental transport corridors at the global level. This opens up good prospects for turning the transport segment into one of the engines of global economic development.трудничества в транспортной сфере.
