The US and Turkmenistan continue to have a strong bilateral relationship, Stephen Guice, Public Affairs Officer of the US Embassy in Ashgabat told Trend.
He said that the trade between the US and Turkmenistan has increased in 2021 versus 2020.
“Much of our cooperation continued strong throughout the pandemic,” noted Guice.
As he added, some programs, such as those that require travel or the transit of goods or equipment, have encountered delays.
“There are many well-known companies from the United States that have strong and successful commercial relationships with Turkmenistan. They are too numerous to list comprehensively. They include Boeing, Caterpillar, Coca-Cola, General Electric, John Deere, Visa, and many others,” concluded Guice.
