A high-level bilateral meeting took place in Ashgabat between Turkmenistan’s Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, Nokeruly Atagulyyev, and Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili. The discussions focused on deepening economic integration and launching joint initiatives that hold regional strategic importance. Both nations expressed a firm commitment to expanding trade volumes and fostering a robust environment for cross-border investments.

Central to the meeting was the strategic utilization of Georgia’s transit infrastructure to facilitate Turkmen exports. The Turkmen side voiced significant interest in establishing dedicated warehouse and logistics facilities within Georgia’s Black Sea ports. This potential infrastructure investment is aimed at streamlining the transport of goods along the Eurasian corridor, ensuring that Turkmenistan’s industrial products reach European destinations with greater efficiency and lower overhead costs.

Technological innovation in maritime operations also emerged as a priority topic. The two delegations discussed cooperating on the implementation of the "National Maritime Single Window" system to digitize shipping documentation and port services. Furthermore, Georgian representatives highlighted their ongoing project to lay a subsea fiber-optic cable across the Black Sea, an ambitious move designed to position the region as a central digital hub connecting Asia and Europe via high-speed telecommunications.

In addition to infrastructure and technology, the dialogue covered tourism development and enhanced cultural exchange. The meeting, which included key officials from Georgia’s railways, foreign ministry, and government administration, underscored the multifaceted nature of the partnership. By coordinating their economic strategies, Turkmenistan and Georgia are paving the way for a more integrated regional market, benefiting from their unique geographic positions at the crossroads of international trade routes.
