Experts from the International Trade Centre have prepared a Roadmap for Turkmenistan to simplify trade procedures in preparation for accession to the WTO, according to Dmitry Shlapachenko, UN Resident Coordinator in Turkmenistan, as reported by the news website Turkmenportal.

He noted that over 50 employees of national ministries had been trained in WTO rules and agreements, and a delegation of 10 government officials had studied Kazakhstan's experience in the process of joining the organization.

An analysis of national legislation for compliance with WTO requirements is also continuing, and the country's regulatory framework for investment promotion is being assessed.
