Caglayan was also received by Turkmenistan's President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. Berdimuhamedow said that Turkish entrepreneurs and companies had great contributions to development of his country."Turkey's contributions continue in several areas such as finance, economy, trade and production," he said. In
regard to a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that shook eastern Turkish
province of Van, Berdimuhamedow said they were ready to extend every
kind of support to Turkey. Caglayan recalled that Turkish
companies assumed projects worth 4.5 billion U.S. dollars in
Turkmenistan last year, stating that they would reach a similar figure
this year as well. "Trade volume between the two countries is increasing. We are ready to boost ties with Turkmenistan," he said. After completing his talks in Turkmenistan, Caglayan departed from the country. |
