"As part of cooperation with Turkmenistan, our enterprises have been successfully supplying pipe products to companies in the fuel, energy and electric power sectors of the country for many years. The new contract for the supply of high-tech products for “Turkmengas” will contribute to the development of the energy infrastructure of Turkmenistan and increase its export potential. We are fully planning to complete deliveries under the contract as early as 2021”.
