Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are stepping up efforts to expand cooperation across key sectors, with leaders from both countries meeting on the sidelines of the Tashkent International Investment Forum.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with Turkmenistan’s deputy cabinet chair Nokerguly Ataguliyev on Tuesday to discuss ways to strengthen ties in trade, energy, transport, and water resource management.
Both sides agreed to shape a new agenda aimed at boosting economic integration and regional connectivity. Industrial cooperation and joint projects were high on the list, along with plans for a forum of regions and a series of upcoming business and cultural events.
The talks signal growing momentum in Uzbek-Turkmen relations, which both leaders described as rooted in friendship, being good neighbours, and having a strong strategic partnership.
According to official figures, bilateral trade hit $1.14 billion in 2024, continuing a steady upward trend between the two Central Asian neighbours.

The collective-defence agreement between Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signals that regional powers no longer want to rely solely on external security guarantees. Whether it becomes a stabilising deterrent or another axis of rivalry remains unresolved.
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains limited on Thursday, with no increase in vessel crossings as U.S.-Iran talks to resolve the conflict remained stalled. Nine commodity vessels transited the key waterway on Wednesday, unchanged from the previous day, according to Kpler data.
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has slowed, according to the latest data, as uncertainty over the waterway’s reopening kept most shipowners away. Six commodity vessels crossed the strait on Tuesday, down from nine the day before and below the 10-day daily average of 11.
Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the U.S. fulfils the terms of an interim deal, including lifting the maritime blockade and sanctions and releasing Iran’s frozen assets.
