According to the head of the Halk Maslahaty, Turkmenistan is ready to make cooperation within the framework of the OTS consistent and long-term, paying special attention to promising areas, including energy.

– Our country considers it necessary to create an effective, reliable, self-sufficient partnership model in the generally unstable conditions of global energy markets. This will meet the growing energy needs of our states.
Turkmenistan, which is one of the largest producers of energy resources, is ready to supply them to fraternal countries and increase supply volumes, noted the National Leader of the Turkmen people. Currently, our country exports electricity to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. In addition, there are plans to implement large projects with the participation of these states to send Turkmen natural gas to the east.
– We also have good opportunities to export Turkmen natural gas and electricity to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Türkiye. We are ready to continue to provide assistance to fraternal countries in ensuring energy security”, - emphasized the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.

The National Leader of the Turkmen people also added that in the future it will be possible to create a permanently operating integrated energy transmission system. In this case, the Turkic states will be able to fully take advantage of the advantages of geographical proximity, resource potential and means of supply.

– Along with this, priority is given to the transport sector in the cooperation of our countries. In this regard, it is advisable to begin to formulate a unified transport strategy. Consolidation of efforts will make it possible to reach agreements with international partners and major investors in this area, said National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
