ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, April 13. Turkmenistan
has called for more effective use of existing potential to increase
trade turnover with Austria, Trend reports via the press service of the Turkmen
Government.
The statement was made by Chairman of Turkmenistan’s Halk
Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov during his meeting with
President of Austria Alexander Van der Bellen, which took place in
Vienna as part of Berdimuhamedov’s visit to participate in the
International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum.
During the talks, Berdimuhamedov proposed holding the next
meeting of the Turkmen-Austrian joint commission in June in
Ashgabat.
He also highlighted the role of the commission as a key
mechanism for advancing bilateral trade and economic
cooperation.
For reference, Turkmen-Austrian relations are primarily focused
on diplomatic and institutional cooperation, with an emphasis on
political dialogue and multilateral engagement, particularly within
the UN framework and international forums. At the same time,
bilateral trade and economic ties remain relatively limited in
scale compared to the level of political contacts.
