As part of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov’s official visit to Japan, a business meeting was held with executives of leading Japanese corporations. The meeting reaffirmed the long-standing and strategic economic partnership between Turkmenistan and Japan.

In his address, the President of Turkmenistan emphasized that Japanese companies have proven themselves over many years as reliable partners. Cooperation between Turkmenistan and Japan is built on mutual trust, tangible results, and a long-term vision. At the same time, Turkmenistan aims to expand this partnership toward broader and more forward-looking objectives.

Japan was highlighted as a model of high-tech development, innovative economic management, and a balanced approach to industrial growth combined with environmental responsibility. The achievements of Japanese companies in science, manufacturing, industrial management, and corporate governance are viewed in Turkmenistan as valuable benchmarks for modernizing the national economy and enhancing its global competitiveness.

President Berdimuhamedov highly praised the contributions of major Japanese corporations such as ITOCHU, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Sojitz, Toyo, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Komatsu, Toyota, and others, noting their significant role in Turkmenistan’s economic progress. With Japanese participation, Turkmenistan has commissioned major industrial facilities, including gas chemical complexes in Mary and Garabogaz, the polymer plant in Gyyanly, the gas-to-gasoline plant in Ovadandepe, and a gas turbine power station in the Charjew district.

Summing up the results of joint efforts, the President stated that these achievements inspire confidence in future cooperation. Turkmenistan is prepared to provide Japanese investors with attractive conditions for long-term investments and mutually beneficial projects. Priority areas include energy—particularly renewable sources—transport and logistics, high-tech and environmentally friendly industries, water resource management, infrastructure modernization, and workforce development. Turkmenistan also expressed readiness to actively promote Japanese technologies and products in its domestic market.
