The development of transport routes through Turkmenistan is opening up opportunities for Tajik goods to reach new markets and is strengthening trade and economic ties between the two countries. This was stated by Vafo Alibek Niyatbekzoda, Tajikistan’s Ambassador to Turkmenistan, in an article for the newspaper ‘Neutral Turkmenistan’, according to the news website Turkmenportal.

According to the diplomat, the volume of rail and road transport through Turkmenistan increased in 2026. He highlighted the country’s geographical location and its transit potential.

Economic cooperation is also developing. In March, the 14th meeting of the Joint Inter-governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation took place in Dushanbe. In July, the second meeting of the Tajik-Turkmen Business Council was held.
