Turkmenistan's role in building new Silk Road

By Chinar Rustamova | China Daily | Updated: 2016-11-24 08:12

Formation of modern road and transport infrastructure is one of the priority directions of the policy of Turkmenistan, and is aimed at progressive social and economic development and the establishment of broad regional and international cooperation.

Turkmenistan is at the crossroad of Europe and Asia, with convenient geographical location, on the new Silk Road. Rich natural oil and gas reserves and a stable political climate allow our country to implement national transport resources for ensuring the Euro-Asian links.

Turkmenistan was the first among the countries of the region to demonstrate at the end of the last century qualitative new approaches for the revival of the ancient Silk Road. The striking example is commissioning of an international railway (Tedjen-Serahs-Meshed) in May 1996, which opened for the countries of Central Asia the shortest way to the transport networks of Iran, Turkey, the Middle East and the Far East.
