By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:
Turkmenistan is working to increase the supply of electricity to Afghanistan in the direction of Serhetabat-Herat-Turgundi and Ramadasan–Kalinaw, Trend reports with reference to Turkmenistan’s State News Agency.
This was said during the working meeting of Turkmenistan.
The importance of cooperation with neighboring states, first of all, with Afghanistan, to which Turkmenistan provides comprehensive assistance and support in economic recovery, was noted.
The increase in supply volumes, the commissioning of new power lines, create favorable conditions for the opening of new production facilities and the creation of jobs.
Turkmenistan will continue to provide Afghanistan with all possible assistance and support, as well as implement new joint projects, says the report.
Turkmenistan is committed to promoting the socio-economic development of Afghanistan.
Turkmenistan's commitment is shown in infrastructure projects initiated by Turkmenistan, including the construction of social facilities on the territory of Afghanistan on a gratuitous basis.
The construction of the TAPI gas pipeline, electric power and communication lines along the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan route, as well as railway lines connecting Turkmenistan with Afghanistan and other countries in the region is important for the Afghan economy.
The representatives of Turkmenistan and Afghanistan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning Land Acquisition for the Afghan portion of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project.
