Turkmen entrepreneurs actively participate in the implementation of social projects, supporting education, healthcare and culture. This indicates the formation of socially responsible business in the country, which is aware of its role in the development of society and contributes to the solution of priority tasks, thereby contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the State News Agency of Turkmenistan reports.
Through cooperation with UNDP, UNICEF, UNCTAD and other UN agencies, Turkmen entrepreneurs gain access to advanced knowledge, technologies and best global practices. This helps increase the competitiveness of their products and expand opportunities for entering new markets.
Programs for the development of women's entrepreneurship, innovative projects, and support for start-ups are a striking example of such interaction.
Participation in international exhibitions, forums and trade missions organized with the support of the UN allows Turkmen companies to establish direct contacts with potential partners and investors from all over the world. This contributes to the diversification of the export nomenclature and an increase in the volume of foreign trade turnover.
Important areas of foreign trade include continuous improvement of trade operations in accordance with international standards, implementation of modern technologies and digital systems in work.
This is confirmed by the signing in March 2024 of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Trade and Foreign Economic Relations of Turkmenistan and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) within the framework of the regional project “Trade Facilitation in Central Asia”.
The country's international business relations have been specified in a number of signed agreements and the establishment of partnerships with global business circles, as well as in the opening of trade missions and trading houses abroad.
