The Minister of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Korea, Kim Young-hyun, conducted a high-level working session with ambassadors representing Central Asian nations in Seoul. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Turkmenistan to the Republic of Korea, B. Durdyev, participated in the strategic assembly. The multilateral conversation focused heavily on establishing technological standards and legal frameworks to enhance interregional connectivity.

The diplomatic gathering served as an essential preparatory phase for the upcoming first-ever "Central Asia – Republic of Korea" heads of state summit. The agenda was specifically centered on advancing a comprehensive multilateral Memorandum of Understanding designed to upgrade joint operations within the intellectual property sector. This upcoming institutional agreement is expected to simplify cross-border technology transfers and safeguard industrial innovations across member states.

Minister Kim Young-hyun presented South Korea’s historical economic trajectory, emphasizing how modernizing structural protections for patents and patents ownership functioned as a core mechanism for long-term domestic GDP growth. He expressed confidence that pairing Central Asia's vast natural resource matrix with Korean high-tech capabilities offers deep possibilities for mutual commercial benefit. International analysts have already described the joint platform as the "initial phase of building an Intellectual Property Silk Road."

Turkmen Ambassador B. Durdyev thanked the host nation for facilitating the discussions and reaffirmed that Turkmenistan places significant importance on the upcoming presidential-level summit. Regarding the draft regulatory document, the diplomat stated that the Turkmen administration views South Korea's initiative to sign a unified intellectual property pact with total approval. This engagement highlights Ashgabat's active foreign policy inside Central Asian regional forums and its commitment to expanding its bilateral roadmap with Seoul.
