As Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted in his speech, recently Turkmen-Tatarstan relations have been given an additional powerful impetus, bringing them to a new level. Partnership in the economic and investment spheres is successfully developing.
In this context, the activities in Turkmenistan of such large companies from Tatarstan as KAMAZ, Tatneft, KER-holding, Kazan Helicopter Plant, Ak-Bars shipbuilding corporation and others were especially noted. They have proven themselves in our country, which intends to further build mutually beneficial partnerships with them, Hero Arkadag said.
As noted, economic reforms in Turkmenistan imply, first of all, the diversification of industry, the creation of new industries, the production of high-quality and export-oriented products of a wide range.
In this regard, there are great opportunities for partnership in the field of engineering, oil production and oil refining, the petrochemical industry, where Turkmenistan and Tatarstan have serious potential, Hero Arkadag said.
There are also favorable conditions for successful cooperation in the agricultural, food and processing industries, in the fields of science, healthcare, and sports. At the same time, special emphasis was placed on cooperation in the field of high technologies and science-intensive industries.
“Today, this is a priority area for Turkmenistan, and we would like to intensify our cooperation with Tatarstan partners, taking into account the powerful scientific and scientific-production potential available here,” Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted.
This direction is closely related to interaction in the area of education and training of highly qualified personnel. For many years, Turkmenistan has been sending its youth to study in Tatarstan, where today about 5,000 Turkmen students study at leading universities. Our country intends to increase the number of students sent to higher educational institutions of Tatarstan every year, gradually expand the range of training, focusing on specialists in the field of modern high technologies, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said.
