Turkmenistan welcomes expanding economic relations with Iran
The Turkmenistan market is ready to expand relations with Iranian traders to develop relations.
The “Iran Project” exhibition has been held over the past 15 years to increase Iran’s share of Turkmenistan’s market, said Hassan Martaji, the chairman of the Board of Directors of Iran International Exhibition Organizers Association (IEOA), according to IRNA.
The trade between the two countries increased from $175 million in 2008 to $1.7 billion in 2015, he added.
The exhibition has led to giant investments in various fields and has paved the way for signing several important contracts as well, Martaji stated.
The official added the exhibition will be held in the fields of oil, gas and petrochemical equipment, water, electricity and energy, construction and technical and engineering services.
He noted that Iran’s trade with Turkmenistan has been more than the total exchanges with the Republic of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan and even Russia.
The “Iran Project” Exhibition will be held in the Turkmen capital of Ashgabat from October 24 to 27.
