In total, eleven agreements and memoranda were concluded during the visit.

According to official reports, the President of Turkmenistan held meetings in Tokyo with executives of leading Japanese corporations, focusing on long-term economic and technological partnership. These discussions led to formalized agreements covering transportation, energy, communications, finance, education, and industrial development, highlighting the broad scope of cooperation involving Turkmenistan.

The signed documents include memoranda and agreements between Turkmenistan’s state institutions and major Japanese companies such as Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Sony, Mizuho Bank, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Special emphasis was placed on digital transformation, the application of artificial intelligence in Turkmenistan, and the advancement of modern communication and media technologies.

A separate group of agreements addresses academic and scientific collaboration. Universities of Turkmenistan and Japan agreed to expand institutional partnerships, implement joint educational initiatives, and promote student exchange programs, supporting the development of skilled professionals in Turkmenistan.

In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.

The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
