Turkmenistan and Georgia held high-level discussions to enhance their economic partnership, zeroing in on expanding trade turnover, investment opportunities, and transport connectivity. The dialogue took place in Tbilisi between key economic officials from Georgia and the Turkmen Ambassador, reflecting a shared interest in strengthening practical cooperation.
The meeting followed last month’s visit by Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development to Ashgabat, where strategic issues such as transport and logistics were highlighted. President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized the significance of transit routes like the Caspian Sea-Black Sea corridor, the Lapis Lazuli corridor, and the Green Port initiative as vital links for regional trade.
Georgia positioned itself as a critical gateway to Black Sea ports and European markets, underscoring its role in facilitating cargo flows along the Middle Corridor—an international transit route connecting Asia with Europe. Both nations explored ways to increase investment and improve trade infrastructure, focusing on transport, logistics, and energy sectors to amplify economic ties.
The talks concluded with the signing of a final protocol aimed at consolidating cooperation across multiple fronts, particularly transport and logistics, trade, energy, and investment. This agreement affirms commitments to develop the Middle Corridor and enhance connectivity via Caspian-Black Sea links, fostering smoother movement of goods and deeper regional integration.
