BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 16. President of
Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov arrived in Tbilisi on Thursday
for a two-day state visit to Georgia, the press service of the
Turkmen government says.


According to the press service, the Turkmen leader was welcomed
at the Tbilisi Shota Rustaveli International Airport by Georgian
officials and members of the Turkmen delegation.


The visit's agenda includes high-level talks with the leadership
of Georgia in both narrow and expanded formats. In addition to the
political dialogue, the visit will feature a Turkmen-Georgian
business forum and a traveling exhibition of Turkmen products.


''Visits at the highest level over recent decades remain the
main instrument for developing bilateral cooperation,'' the report
highlights, noting that Turkmenistan and Georgia have maintained
diplomatic relations since July 16, 1992.


Recently, Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili and
Turkmen Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov held a telephone
conversation.


According to the Georgian MFA, the sides reviewed issues related
to bilateral cooperation and preparations for Berdimuhamedov's
planned visit to Georgia.







Moreover, the parties also discussed prospects for expanding
ties between Georgia and the countries of Central Asia.


The ministers further exchanged views on the future development
of Georgian-Turkmen relations and stressed the importance of
maintaining dialogue at the high level, according to the
ministry.


Meanwhile, Turkmenistan and Georgia maintain close cooperation
in the field of regional transport connectivity, primarily through
the advancement of the Trans-Caspian and Middle Corridor logistics
network. This route serves as a vital link between Central Asia,
the South Caucasus, and European markets via the Caspian and Black
seas.


A critical component of this transport system is the Caspian Sea
ferry and port infrastructure. Within this framework, Turkmenistan
operates the Turkmenbashi International Seaport, while Georgia
provides access through the ports of Poti and Batumi. Together,
these facilities support multimodal cargo transportation,
integrating rail, maritime, and road networks to facilitate the
movement of goods between Central Asia and Europe.


Meanwhile, in March 2026, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of
Ministers of Turkmenistan Nokerguly Atagulyev visited Georgia,
where he held discussions with local authorities focused on
logistics and transit infrastructure, including cooperation with
Georgian Black Sea ports such as Poti, which serve as key entry
points for goods imported into Georgia and subsequently supplied to
Turkmenistan via Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea.
