Deeming it necessary to fully realize the potential of bilateral trade and economic cooperation, the parties discussed the prospects of development, including the establishment of direct air links, as well as the implementation of joint investment projects in agriculture, textile industry and other fields of mutual interest

Kurbannazar Nazarov said that in the face of Armenia, Turkmenistan sees a friendly nation and a rapidly developing reliable partner. He thanked the Prime Minister for productive work and assured that he would make every effort to enhance cooperation in the political, economic, humanitarian and cultural spheres.
