TURKMEN-PAK RELATIONS

        In 1991, Pakistan was one of the first countries to take initiatives of recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations with Turkmenistan. Diplomatic relations between Turkmenistan and Pakistan have been developing successfully and rapidly since 1992. Bilateral visits of the heads of the states laid a solid foundation of Pak-Turkmen friendship and mutual understanding. The main economic aspect of Turkmenistan-Pakistan relations is based on realization of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan gas pipeline project. The capacity of 1400 km pipeline, half of which would run via Afghanistan, is estimated between 25 to 30 billion cubic meters gas per year. Realization of gas pipeline project would require basic infrastructure such as road and railway links, which will take the economic and trade cooperation between our countries to new heights.
        However, economy is not the only aspect of Turkmen-Pak relations. Simultaneously political, parliamentarian and social links have also been established. Cultural activities between the two countries are also at full flow in this context every year many Pakistani scholars, scientists and journalists are visiting Turkmenistan to participate in the International conferences, seminars, workshops and exhibitions, which is also playing a dynamic role in further strengthening the brotherly relationships between the two countries.
        The Co-operation in the field of Defence has boosted significantly the Turkmen-Pak bilateral ties. Brotherly Pakistan is providing free training facilities for army, naval and air force officers of Turkmen Armed Forces. It is also significant to quote that Pakistan is organizing free Diplomatic, banking training and English language courses for Turkmen nationals in Pakistan.
