Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to make an official trip to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan in the coming days. According to Iran’s MNA news agency, the announcement was made by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei.
The upcoming visit was presented as part of Tehran’s active diplomatic agenda in the region. Alongside comments on the planned trips to Ashgabat and Astana, Baghaei highlighted ongoing consultations with Azerbaijan and future meetings with high-ranking officials from Russia and Belarus.
This diplomatic activity demonstrates Iran’s intention to strengthen ties with its neighbors in the Caspian basin and Central Asia.
Although the purpose of the Ashgabat visit has not been formally disclosed, it is expected that President Pezeshkian's trip may coincide with a major international event. Turkmenistan’s capital will soon host the International Forum for Peace and Trust, which could serve as a potential venue for discussions.
A bilateral meeting between representatives of Turkmenistan and the People's Republic of China focused on agricultural development was held at the Archabil Hotel in Ashgabat. The negotiations took place within the framework of a visit by a Chinese delegation led by Erkin Tuniyaz, Chairman of the People's Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The event brought together heads of the agro-industrial sector, scientists from research academies, and representatives of leading companies from both nations. Discussions centered on integrating digital technologies into agriculture, as well as advancing seed production and selective breeding. Special emphasis was placed on cotton growing, raw material processing, and water conservation technologies.
The Chinese delegation expressed strong interest in implementing joint investment projects and supplying modern agricultural machinery to Turkmenistan. Additionally, both parties agreed to establish regular exchange visits for agricultural experts to facilitate professional knowledge sharing.
Following the sectoral talks, the Chinese delegation met with Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan T. Atahallyev. The meeting summarized the results of the consultations and reaffirmed both nations' commitment to elevating regional agricultural and technical partnership to a higher level.
