Trend reports via the Turkmen MFA.
The discussions took place during a meeting between
Turkmenistan’s Ambassador to Japan Atadurdy Bayramov and President
of the Turkmen-Japanese Scientific and Technological Association
Hideki Koinuma in Tokyo, on April 1.
The project was proposed by a professor at the Chubu University
of Japan and involves converting natural gas into liquefied natural
gas (LNG) for export to global markets, as well as producing helium
from the liquefied natural gas.
Earlier, in March, Ambassador Bayramov and Japan’s State
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ayano Kunimitsu, held talks focused
on the implementation of bilateral agreements and the
identification of strategic areas for further cooperation. Their
discussions largely centered on the achievements made in fulfilling
the agreements reached during recent high-level visits.
The Turkmen delegation also expressed its readiness to
facilitate a visit by Japan’s prime minister to Turkmenistan at a
mutually convenient time.
