“In this regard, work will continue on the implementation of the proposals submitted earlier by Turkmenistan on the establishment of an open-ended International Expert Group to develop modern UN international legal instruments for regulating sustainable and reliable energy transit,” the Foreign Ministry notes.
It is also noted that “Turkmenistan will renew the proposal to develop, under the auspices of the UN, global strategies for the development of low-carbon energy, in particular, the preparation of an international Roadmap for the development of hydrogen energy.
