The Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries became a platform not only for global discussions, but also for active bilateral diplomacy. Turkmenistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Rashid Meredov held a series of productive meetings and signed important agreements expanding international cooperation. This was reported by the Orient news agency.

Particular attention was paid to new agreements with African countries — protocols on political consultations were signed with Burkina Faso and Malawi. Malawi's Vice President Michael Bizwick Usi noted that this opens up prospects for financing projects in energy and infrastructure.

Diplomatic relations have also been established with the Kingdom of Eswatini, agreements have been signed with Slovakia on economic cooperation, a technical assistance project for customs digitalisation and a plan to prevent extremism in Central Asia for 2025.

Minister Rashid Meredov held meetings with his counterparts from Qatar, Iran and Georgia, discussing the implementation of previously reached agreements, transport and economic cooperation, and the strengthening of trade ties.
