A meeting of the Pakistan-Turkmenistan Interparliamentary Friendship Group was held in Islamabad with the participation of Atajan Movlamov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Turkmenistan to Pakistan. This was reported by the Orient news agency.

The meeting, chaired by Pakistani MP Sanjay Perwani, served as a platform for presenting Turkmenistan's potential.

The Ambassador of Turkmenistan provided parliamentarians with information about the country's political system and foreign policy, which is based on permanent neutrality.

The main focus was on the economy and logistics – the development of transport links and trans-regional trade routes. Tourism opportunities were also discussed, including natural attractions and Ahal-Teke horses as a national symbol.

Sanjay Perwani emphasised the role of parliamentary friendship groups as a tool for strengthening bilateral dialogue. The parties expressed their intention to intensify the exchange of delegations and expand people-to-people contacts.

Pakistan is considered by Turkmenistan to be an important partner in the southern direction, and the development of parliamentary cooperation is intended to promote major regional initiatives.
