More than 48 billion manat was invested into Turkmenistan's transport and communication sector between 2015 and 2021. This was announced by the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, Mammetkhan Chakyev, at a conference on "Creating Sustainable Infrastructure, Strengthening Connections and Facilitating the Development of Unimpeded Transit Systems for Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs)." The conference was held on Thursday in Avaza as part of the Third UN Conference on LLDCs.
"Turkmenistan has a unique transit position between the East and the West, and the North and the South. In this regard, the country's transport and communication complex is a key factor for economic stability, regional integration, and the expansion of trade flows," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
According to him, the most important international corridors pass through Turkmenistan: the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor (TITR), the International "North-South" Transport Corridor, the Caspian Corridor, a railway connection with Afghanistan, the potential land route from China to Turkmenistan to the Persian Gulf, and others.
Chakyev reported that among the projects implemented are the Ashgabat – Turkmenabat highway, the construction of a bridge across the Karabogaz towards Kazakhstan, the modernization and expansion of the Turkmenbashi seaport, the reconstruction of the Turkmenbashi airport, the construction of a new Balkanabat International Airport, Turkmenistan's integration with the Xi'an – Tehran – India – Kazakhstan container transportation route, and others.
As the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet noted, work is underway on a new logistics hub near Iran and Uzbekistan, and the Caspian transport and logistics platform is being developed jointly with the ports of Baku and Aktau.
"We consider it appropriate to create a unified digital space for LLDCs with an integrated logistics platform that is compatible with electronic certification data and automated customs clearance," he stated.
Turkmenistan proposes the creation of regional funds for infrastructure and digital projects, the promotion of initiatives for a digital architecture for LLDCs, the formation of logistics clusters with the participation of the private sector, and platforms for knowledge exchange, specialist training, and increasing institutional competence. Chakyev urged partners to work together on two programs to further promote the interests of landlocked countries.
