“It is obvious that our economic partnership will develop successfully and in fact become effective in the presence of modern transport and communication networks that include the entire ECO space,” said the head of Turkmenistan.
Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized the important role of Eurasian transport corridors in ensuring the prosperity of the continent. In this context, ECO plays a key role. Therefore, the construction of roads, bridges, terminals and other facilities is one of the main areas of cooperation.
