Ugandan Prime Minister Robina Nabbandja arrived in Turkmenistan to represent her country's interests at the 3rd United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries.
Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Khojamyrat Geldimyradov met at the international airport of the city of Turkmenbashi Nabbanju.
Nabbanja is expected to read a message to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who has also been joined by several heads of landlocked African countries.
At the conference in Avaz, the problems faced by developing countries that do not have access to the sea will be discussed, and solutions will be developed that will allow them to fully reveal their potential and become equal and prosperous countries.

The previous LLDC conference, which is held every 10 years, was held in Vienna (Austria) in 2014. The first conference was held in Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan, in 2003.
