ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, April 11. Turkmenistan
has expressed interest in Austrian experience in developing green
energy technologies, Trend reports via the press service of the Turkmen
Government.
The issue was addressed by Chairman of Turkmenistan’s Halk
Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov during his meeting with
President of Austria Alexander Van der Bellen, which took place in
Vienna as part of Berdimuhamedov’s visit to participate in the
International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum.
In addition, Turkmenistan also showed interest in expanding
cooperation in digitalization and artificial intelligence,
alongside Austrian expertise in urban infrastructure, water
treatment technologies, and the banking sector.
The sides noted that cooperation in these areas could support
the introduction of innovative solutions into the national economy,
contribute to diversification, and ensure sustainable
development.
For reference, Turkmen-Austrian relations are primarily focused
on diplomatic and institutional cooperation, with an emphasis on
political dialogue and multilateral engagement, particularly within
the UN framework and international forums. At the same time,
bilateral trade and economic ties remain relatively limited in
scale compared to the level of political contacts.
