Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze visits Turkmenistan to enhance bilateral ties, discuss trade, transport, and energy, and advance the Middle Corridor project.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze began an official visit to Turkmenistan, engaging in high-level talks aimed at bolstering bilateral ties and exploring opportunities for regional cooperation.
Kobakhidze is scheduled to meet with Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedow in Ashgabat, followed by extended negotiations between Georgian and Turkmen cabinet members. The discussions are expected to cover a broad range of sectors and culminate in the signing of agreements on cooperation between sectoral institutions. Key topics on the agenda include trade, transport, energy, and infrastructure development.
This visit is part of Georgia’s broader strategy to strengthen its relationships with Central Asian nations and solidify its role in the Middle Corridor project. The Middle Corridor, also known as the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, is an ambitious initiative connecting Europe and Asia through Georgia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, and Central Asia. As global trade routes undergo transformation, Georgia aims to position itself as a critical trade and transit hub between Asia and Europe.
In recent months, the Georgian Prime Minister has visited several Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, focusing on enhancing cooperation in trade and logistics. These visits highlight Georgia’s proactive approach in boosting regional connectivity and leveraging its geographic location to facilitate international trade flows.
The Georgian delegation accompanying Kobakhidze includes First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Levan Davitashvili, Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili, Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure Irakli Karseladze, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture Davit Songhulashvili, Sports Minister Shalva Gogoladze, and Head of the Government Administration Levan Zhorzholiani.
As Georgia continues to deepen its ties with Central Asian countries, today’s meetings in Ashgabat could mark another significant step in advancing the nation’s strategic objectives in the region.
