ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Turkmenistan’s President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov met in Ashgabat on Friday and discussed matters of bilateral interests.

The two sides discussed matters related to Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline and re-establishing of air links between their countries, a statement from the PM House said.

The prime minister is undertaking the visit at the invitation of the president of Turkmenistan, who is co-hosting the conference along with United Nations’ Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.

The conference, likely to be attended by around 1,500 participants including heads of state and government, ministers, civil society leaders and the UN officials, will discuss promotion and the role of sustainable transport towards achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

“Pakistan is keen to improve connectivity with Central Asian States by establishing transport and communication links.
