Further strengthening of bilateral inter-parliamentary relations became an important topic of the telephone talk held today between Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of the Milli Gengesh of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Chairman of the Senate of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani.

As it was stated, Turkmenistan and Pakistan are currently actively cooperating in the political, diplomatic, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian spheres.

At the same time, both countries are actively involved in major energy and communication projects being implemented in the region, including the construction of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India transnational gas pipeline, as well as the laying of a high-voltage power transmission line and fiber-optic communication along the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan route.

During the conversation, the Hero-Arkadag noted the great opportunities available for establishing and strengthening close inter-parliamentary ties. An important role in this is given to the exchange of experience in the field of legislation through the intensification of cooperation between the legislative bodies of Turkmenistan and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as well as the organization of regular meetings and consultations of parliamentarians. In this regard, they expressed firm confidence that fruitful inter-parliamentary cooperation will complement the multifaceted cooperation between our states.

At the end of the telephone conversation, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of the Milli Gengesh of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Chairman of the Senate of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani wished each other sound health, happiness and success in responsible work, and peace, well-being and prosperity to the fraternal peoples of the two friendly countries.
