Iran, Turkmenistan to hold joint tourism festival
“The goal of this festival is to foster stronger connections between tourism agencies in both countries, promoting the development of tourism and showcasing the attractions of Iran,” according to Navid Rasouli, Iran’s cultural attaché to Turkmenistan stated, Mehr News Agency reported. International diplomats, senior officials from Turkmenistan’s Ministry of Culture, and Tehran’s ambassador to Ashgabat are among the invitees to the festival, which is now in its second edition.
The festival will feature travel showcases, handicraft exhibitions, and live music performances, Rasouli said. It is part of ongoing efforts to boost cultural and tourism ties between the two nations, which share a 1,000-kilometer border.
Iran and Turkmenistan have enjoyed good relations since the latter’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, cooperating in areas such as economy, transportation, infrastructure, and energy.
