Türkiye’s Minister of Trade, Ömer Bolat, attended the opening ceremony of the 12th Turkish Export Products Exhibition held in Turkmenistan. During his remarks, he stated that bilateral trade volume between the two countries reached 2.2 billion US dollars in 2025. The long-term objective, he added, is to raise this figure to 5 billion dollars.

Bolat emphasized that economic and commercial relations between the two nations have become more dynamic and diversified as cooperation continues to deepen. Despite ongoing global economic challenges, he described the current trade results as encouraging.
