In this regard, the meeting participants discussed the steps which could improve the situation by benefiting both sides.
“It was decided to discuss this issue in the near future,” said the message.
Further, Turkmenistan’s representatives talked about the development of textile industry and its prospects.
Turkmenistan traditionally grows cotton, which serves as the basis for developing the country's textile industry.
The major part of products is exported to the US, Canada, Germany, UK, Russia, Italy, Turkey, China and Ukraine.
