The Turkmen authorities expect to launch the East-West transport corridor, which will unite Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq and Turkey, Serdar Berdimuhamedov told Turkmenistan, addressing the participants of the II International Conference "International transport and transit corridors: interconnection and development - 2023". This is reported by the publication "Turkmenistan today".
The world community actively supports the positive undertakings of Turkmenistan in the field of transport, Berdimuhamedov said.
Due to the advantageous geographical location, Turkmenistan is turning into one of the main centers of crossing of transcontinental routes, the President of Turkmenistan noted.
“Today, Turkmenistan has an impressive potential for the development of all types of transport. Targeted measures are also being taken to attract large investments to improve the position of our country as a key transport and transit hub, create new transport and transit corridors and specialized infrastructure,” Burdimuhamedov said.
Turkmenistan pays special attention to the systematic improvement of the country's railway infrastructure.
“Turkmenistan, having access to the open sea, is actively integrating into the trans-Caspian communication routes and strives to maximize its potential in this area.”
The Turkmen leader said that the connection of the high-speed highway connecting the eastern region and the center of the country to the Ashgabat-Turkmenbashi highway will provide access for trucks from Uzbekistan to the International Seaport in the Caspian Sea, and from there to the Caucasus, Europe, southern Russia and northern Iran, to Persian and Oman straits along the sea routes.
