Speaking at the second Central Asia-Germany summit, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized the importance of economic cooperation between the Central Asian countries and the Federal Republic of Germany. He called the economy a key priority in the development of relations between the regions, noting its potential to become the “locomotive” of relations. This is stated in the TDH report.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov identified a number of key areas for partnership, including transport and logistics, energy, industrial production, chemical industry, mechanical engineering, medicine and pharmaceuticals, agro-industrial complex, as well as developments in the field of information technology. He emphasized the need to move to new methods of doing joint business based on modern requirements and demands.

The head of Turkmenistan also noted the prospects of creating joint production, service and training centers in the Central Asian countries, as well as organizing the training of highly qualified specialists.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov expressed confidence that economic, trade and investment cooperation in the “Central Asia – Germany” format meets the interests of all participants and has good prospects for development and expansion.
