Turkmenistan plans to build marine radars on its area of the coastal territory of the Caspian Sea, the report of the National Committee for Hydrometeorology under the Cabinet of Ministers reads.

Introduction of modern equipment is provided under the newly established National Committee. This issue was discussed at the last government meeting.

Speaking on the introduction of modern equipment in the field of hydrometeorology, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhammadov noted the need for a specific and well-considered approach to this work.

"Construction of the marine radars will allow to obtain accurate data, prepare forecasts, and to send and receive information under the above-mentioned agreement ("On cooperation in the field of hydrometeorology of the Caspian Sea")," he said.

The president instructed to keep this work under strict control.

In addition, Berdimuhammadov said Turkmenistan, being committed to its international obligations, has earned credibility in the international community as a country that always fulfilled its commitments.

The work done during the presidency of Turkmenistan in the Coordination Committee for Hydrometeorology of the Caspian Sea (CASPCOM) in 2013-2014 is a good example of that, he said.

Turkmenistan borders on the Caspian Sea with Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Iran.
