Turkmenistan will continue to strengthen cooperation with Tatarstan within the framework of a strategic partnership with the Russian Federation. This was stated by the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, who arrived on May 15 on a working visit to Tatarstan to participate as an honorary guest in the International Economic Forum “Russia-Islamic World: KazanForum 2024” and the annual meeting of the Strategic Vision Group “Russia-Islamic World”.

“We take this opportunity to reaffirm our intention to continue active work aimed at strengthening multifaceted cooperation with brotherly Tatarstan within the framework of a strategic partnership with the Russian Federation,” TDH quotes the words of the head of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan.

“Holding such significant international events in Kazan aimed at enhancing economic interaction between the Russian Federation and the countries of the Islamic world is an indicator of high authority and great international interest in Tatarstan,” noted Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
