BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 26. South Korea and
Turkmenistan engaged in discussion on ongoing construction projects
and future cooperation.
This was announced in a report published by the Embassy of the
Republic of Korea in Turkmenistan, following the ambassador Lee
Wonjae's meeting with Ojar Aziya head Muhammetsytdyk Ojarov, a
local partner of South Korea’s S&T Corporation.
“Lee Won-je, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea, visited Ojar
Aziya, a local partner of the Korean corporation S&T,” the
embassy said.
According to the report, the discussions focused on the
implementation of road and housing construction projects in
Turkmenistan, as well as prospects for expanding cooperation with
South Korean companies, including S&T Corporation.
The embassy noted that the meeting also reviewed opportunities
to further strengthen business ties between South Korean companies
and their Turkmen partners in the construction sector.
Meanwhile, South Korea has become one of Turkmenistan's key
partners in developing the country's shipbuilding industry. Since
2023, the Balkan Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Yard has been
cooperating with South Korea's Koryo Shipbuilding Industry
Technology (KSIT) on the design and construction of two
6,100-deadweight-ton dry cargo vessels, while Korean engineers have
trained local specialists and transferred shipbuilding
technologies.
The first vessel, Gadamly, entered service in 2026 as
Turkmenistan's first domestically built dry cargo ship, and a
second vessel, Menzil, is expected to follow, highlighting the
growing role of South Korean expertise in modernizing
Turkmenistan's maritime and logistics infrastructure.
