- Please tell us about yourself and your speech at the scientific conference on the Turkmen and Korean relations?
- I am the first in Turkmenistan. It is a very nice and clean city. We think relations with Korea and Turkmenistan are not very big, but I think our relations will still develop in positive directions. I think economic and environmental relations will develop further.
- As you told you in the first in Turkmenistan. How did you like Turkmenistan?
- Here the view is quite different to compare with other cities. It's very clean and all white. People here are kind.
- What will you tell us about the academic relations between the two countries?
- The relationship between teacher and students should be developed. I think there are very few students from Turkmenistan in Korea, but I know that a lot of students want to study in Korea. I think there are chances, but both States should help them.
- What kind of relations do you think Turkmenistan and Korea should develop?
- I think Turkmenistan needs modern Technology, and Korea can help with this. We already know that Turkmenistan has very good natural resources.
