Turkmenistan is a reliable partner of the Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) in energy projects, said Hafiz Mohammad Amin, General Director of Breshna, Trend reports via Central Asia News.
He made the remark during the meeting with Myrat Artykov, Head of International Electricity Projects Department on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP) power transmission line, as part of his visit to Kabul to discuss legal and technical work on TAP.
