Deputy Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan Mähri Bäşimowa met with Charlotte Adrian, Head of the Central Asia and Afghanistan Unit at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA), to discuss the future of Turkmenistan-EU relations. The meeting, detailed on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, focused on enhancing bilateral ties through a wide range of strategic initiatives aimed at regional prosperity and stability.

Economic cooperation and connectivity were the highlights of the discussion, with both parties emphasizing the development of transport and transit links between Central Asia and the European Union. This collaboration is seen as vital for fostering intercontinental trade and ensuring efficient logistics. The parties agreed that strengthening these infrastructure ties would benefit not only the two regions but also the broader global economic landscape.

Energy cooperation occupied a significant place on the agenda. Turkmenistan and the EU expressed mutual interest in continuing their energy dialogue, with a specific focus on the "green transition" and climate change initiatives. By expanding cooperation in sustainable energy and environmental protection, both sides aim to align their industrial growth with modern ecological standards and climate-resilient strategies.

The dialogue also touched upon cultural and humanitarian sectors, specifically EU-funded programs targeting youth support, digital connectivity, and sustainable energy in Turkmenistan. These projects are designed to facilitate social development and technological advancement within the country. The meeting concluded with a mutual pledge to further strengthen partnership within both the bilateral framework and the "Central Asia — European Union" regional dialogue.
