During their meeting, both leaders focused on the friendly relations between Georgia and Turkmenistan, emphasizing cooperation in various sectors. They highlighted the positive trends in the development of political and economic relations between the two nations.
The PM expressed Georgia’s support for Turkmenistan’s efforts in ensuring peace in Central Asia and highlighted Georgia’s peaceful foreign policy. He also expressed his gratitude to President Berdymukhamedov for Turkmenistan's backing of Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders.
The sides agreed to sign agreements across various economic and political sectors to strengthen cooperation in multiple areas. Furthermore, PM Kobakhidze invited President Berdymukhamedov to pay an official visit to Georgia.
