By Huseyn Hasanov - Trend:

Turkmenistan, being a consistent supporter of peace, harmony and stability in the Caspian basin, supports the continuation of a constructive dialogue with the coastal neighboring countries on the basis of national interests, as well as augmentation of the overall effort in the implementation of promising joint projects to protect and preserve the Caspian Sea's ecosystem, Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhammadov said, Turkmen government released a statement Jan. 23.

With the purpose of the region's sustainable development as a whole, Turkmenistan previously made a number of relevant initiatives voiced from the United Nations' rostrum, including the area of transit transport cooperation, said the statement.

A meeting of the interdepartmental Commission on the Caspian Sea will be held in the near future in Ashgabat, according to the statement.

It is planned to discuss the results of the work that was done in 2015 at the next meeting, as well as define the objectives and priorities of the Commission's activity in the near future.

Proposals put forward by the Turkmen side to preserve, enhance and achieve the sustainable use of biological resources of this unique natural basin, ensuring its environmental safety and the development of mutually beneficial regional cooperation also will be taken into account.

Turkmen Parliament approved the draft decision on ratification of the Protocol for the Conservation of Biological Diversity to the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea in May, 2015.

This document was signed in 2014 at one of the forums in Ashgabat. It is expected that the implementation of the protocol will contribute to the development of protected areas and the protection of rare species of biodiversity at the national and regional levels.
