Turkmen President calls for ministerial-level transport dialogue within CICA

Turkmenistan's President Serdar Berdimuhamedov proposed activating dialogue on transport issues at the level of heads of relevant ministries. He made the proposal in Baku at the 7th Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA).

The President called for more effective use of key transport routes, including the East-West and North-South corridors. He also urged wider international cooperation in logistics and the simplification of trade procedures.

"We believe that within the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, it would be expedient to develop dialogue on transport issues at the ministerial level," Berdimuhamedov said. He argued that such a format would allow countries to share national experience, identify existing obstacles and develop practical recommendations in the interests of all interested states.
