ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, March 17. Turkmenistan
ensured the prompt transit of humanitarian cargo, including
supplies from third countries, said Iran’s Ambassador to
Turkmenistan Ali Mojtaba Rouzbehani,
Trend reports via the press service of the Tukrmen
Government.
The statement was made during a press conference, dedicated to
the current state of bilateral relations and humanitarian
cooperation between the two countries.
According said that Turkmenistan also provided its own
humanitarian assistance to Iran. The diplomat expressed gratitude
to the Chairman of Turkmenistan’s Halk Maslahaty (Parliament)
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, and the
government of Turkmenistan for the humanitarian support
provided.
He noted that four main border crossings along the
1,200-kilometer shared frontier operate in close coordination,
playing a strategic role in cargo transportation across Central
Asia.

good-neighborly ties developing in a spirit of friendship and
genuine partnership. He concluded by noting that, thanks to its
policy of permanent neutrality, Turkmenistan remains one of Iran’s
most reliable and important partners in the region.
