They stressed the importance of activating partnership in many areas in the context of agreements reached earlier between Presidents Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Rustam Minnikhanov.

Representatives of JSC "Zelenodolsk plant named after A.M.

The video conference of the heads and representatives of the Agency "Turkmen airlines" and the Public joint stock company "Kazan helicopter plant" also discussed the prospects for cooperation.

As part of the working visit of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Tatarstan in June 2019, a "Memorandum of understanding" was signed between the state concern "Turkmenhimiya" and "KER-Holding" LLC, reflecting the desire of the parties to mutually beneficial cooperation in the implementation of promising investment projects for the development of the chemical industry of Turkmenistan.

This company became the winner of the international tender held by the state Concern "Turkmenhimiya" for the design and construction of the "turnkey" installation with a capacity of 170 thousand tons of products per year.

The corresponding Framework Agreement on the implementation of this project was concluded at the first Caspian economic forum, held in August last year in the national tourist zone "Avaza".

During the current videoconference, various aspects related to the preparation of the project for the construction of a new production complex were discussed in detail.

Prospects for cooperation were discussed during a video conference between the heads and representatives of the Agency "Turkmenawtoulaglary" and the Public Joint Stock Company "KAMAZ". At the same time, the positive dynamics of partnership in the transport sector was highlighted.

Currently, in accordance with the Decree of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov signed in June last year, work is underway to send high-performance vehicles and special equipment of this world-famous brand to the ministries, industry departments and other enterprises of our country.

Underlining that the market of Turkmenistan is one of the key markets for “KAMAZ”, the company's representatives noted that they will continue to take the most responsible approach to fulfilling their partnership obligations, including the construction of service centers, further training of personnel servicing modern equipment.
