President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov held a meeting with representatives of the Japanese business community in Tokyo. During the negotiations, he proposed developing a project to build a plant for processing household and construction waste, according to TDH.

The Head of State noted that the project aims to reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills through sorting, recycling, and reuse.

The President emphasised that Turkmenistan is focused on updating its economic model. Among the priorities are industrialisation, ‘green’ transition, energy diversification and the development of transport and logistics links. It was noted that there are opportunities for Japanese companies to participate in these areas.

During the meeting, the role of Japanese business in the implementation of major projects in Turkmenistan was noted.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov also proposed considering projects to improve wastewater treatment and build mini-plants for recycling PET bottles and household appliances.
