On August 3, on the second day of the visit to the Republic of the Philippines, the delegation of Turkmenistan visited the Clark Freeport Free Zone. This visit became an important stage in deepening cooperation between the two countries, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss prospects for joint projects.
As part of the visit, a meeting was held with representatives of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to explore opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation. The Philippine side presented a detailed presentation on the Clark Freeport Free Zone and the ambitious project to create a new environmentally friendly city. A tour of the Clark territory was also conducted, which allowed the Turkmen delegation to visually familiarize themselves with the achievements and initiatives of the Philippine side.
The Turkmen delegation highly appreciated the project being implemented and expressed interest in exchanging experiences in the creation and management of free economic zones.
In addition, during the meeting, the Turkmen side acquainted their Philippine colleagues with the new "smart" city of Arkadag, which opened just over a year ago. As part of the presentation, its key features and achievements were demonstrated, and plans for the second phase of the city's construction were noted. The Turkmen delegation invited their Philippine colleagues to visit Turkmenistan to learn more about the modern city of Arkadag and establish deeper contacts.
Such exchange of experience and joint initiatives demonstrate the parties' desire to strengthen bilateral relations and implement joint projects in the field of economic development and infrastructure.
