“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia shares with Turkmenistan the vision of the importance of global energy stability and diversification of energy supplies to world markets through large-scale projects such as the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline,” the diplomat said. - The Kingdom is cooperating in this direction and supports this ambitious project, as it will have a significant positive impact on economic and social development.
