 Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted that, possessing impressive reserves of hydrocarbon resources, our country is open for fruitful interaction with foreign partners.  Implementing a comprehensive energy strategy, Turkmenistan is betting on a radical modernization of the mining and processing infrastructure of the fuel and energy complex based on the active introduction of innovative technologies, increasing the export potential of the industry, and diversifying energy supply routes to world markets.
