A business delegation from Russia’s Sverdlovsk Region, led by Deputy Governor Dmitry Ionin, has started work in Ashgabat. The mission aims to promote regional companies’ products in the Turkmen market, find partners and sign contracts.
The delegation includes representatives of 15 export-oriented industrial companies from the Middle Urals. They will present Turkmen counterparts with high-tech solutions and equipment for infrastructure upgrades and economic development.
Ionin said the sides intend to establish new industrial cooperation links in the oil and gas and chemical industries, as well as construction. The companies are interested in supplying products to Turkmenistan and potentially localizing production there.
Vyacheslav Yarin, Sverdlovsk Region’s minister for international and foreign economic relations, said mutual trade turnover has been growing annually, while significant potential remains to expand trade and economic ties. He identified industry and construction manufacturing as areas of particular interest.
The visit began with the delegation attending the opening of an international conference and exhibition on the development of Turkmenistan’s construction, industrial, chemical and energy sectors. Meetings with the heads of relevant ministries, state concerns and corporations are also planned.
B2B and B2G talks will be held on the sidelines of the event to discuss equipment supplies, joint infrastructure projects and industrial cooperation. The business mission is part of the national project International Cooperation and Export.
