Turkmenistan, the world’s fourth-largest natural gas producer, is undertaking new initiatives in the energy sector.

We believe that multilateral cooperation through energy diplomacy will shape the future of global energy. Through this cooperation, natural gas is already being supplied from Turkmenistan to Türkiye, China, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan. I believe that, together with this forum, the potential of the Galkynysh field—one of the world’s largest gas reserves—will be better understood.
