Turkmen President Qurbanguly Berdimuhamedow will arrive in Dushanbe tomorrow on a two-day official visit, according to the Tajik MFA information department.
Qurbanguly Berdimuhamedow and his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rahmon will hold a tet-a-tet meeting at the Palace of Nation and their meeting will be followed by enlarged negotiations between the government delegations of the two countries with participation of the leaders of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
The negotiations are expected to result in signing of a number of cooperation documents.
Meanwhile, a conference of representatives of business communities of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan is being held at the Tajik National Library in Dushanbe today.
Turkmen president’s latest working visit to Tajikistan was carried out in September 2014.
Tajik President Emomali Rahmon visited the Turkmen capital, Ashgabat, just recently to attend an official opening of the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
After gaining independence, the political basis of the Tajik-Turkmen relations was formed on January 27, 1993 by signing of the Protocol "On the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Republic of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan."
The Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan has functioned in Ashgabat since February 1993. The Embassy of Turkmenistan operates in Dushanbe as well.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Tajik-Turkmen bilateral relations have traditionally been built on the basis of mutually beneficial cooperation. Generally, Tajik-Turkmen relations successfully develop in political, trade-economic, scientific-technical, cultural and other spheres.
A two-way trade between Tajikistan and Turkmenistan last year valued at some 95 million U.S. dollars.
