A meeting of the Turkmen-Russian intergovernmental commission is
scheduled for May 7 in Ashgabat,
Trend reports referring to the Turkmen government.
Russia and Turkmenistan have recently expressed readiness to
expand cooperation in the Caspian Sea. A ferry service is planned
to be launched between Russia’s Makhachkala and Turkmenistan’s
Turkmenbashi port to transport cargo in 2019.
About 190 companies with the Russian capital operate in
Turkmenistan. ARETI International Group (formerly Itera Group) has
been operating in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea on the
basis of the signed production sharing agreement (PSA) since
2009.
At the same time, the Russian Gazprom PJSC, a traditional
trading partner, completely stopped to buy Turkmen gas in 2016. At
this stage, the negotiations on the conditions for the resumption
of the gas deal are underway.
