New head appointed to Turkmen representation at OSCE
Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, Aug. 26 / Trend H.Hasanov /
Turkmen President Gurbangulu Berdimuhammedov signed a decree to appoint Silapberdi Nurberdiyev as the new head of Turkmenistan’s mission at the OSCE.
Nurberdiyev also acts as the Turkmen Ambassador to Austria.
OSCE cooperates with Turkmenistan in areas such as border security and border management, energy security, legislative reform and opposition to transnational threats.
Chairperson-in-Office, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Azubalis recently paid an official visit to Turkmenistan. Then, Azubalis emphasized the need to build on what has been achieved in the years of co-operation with the Organization and its Centre in Ashgabat, established in 1999, and to further expand the scope of work in jointly identified areas, such as border security and management, energy security, legislative reforms and addressing transnational threats.
Other areas of continued OSCE support include combating drug trafficking, promoting gender equality, preventing human trafficking and domestic violence and providing environmental information.
Azubalis praised Turkmenistan’s engagement in promoting the creation of an international legal basis for energy security.
"Defining the role of the OSCE in the dialogue on energy security would add value to the ongoing bilateral and multilateral activities of the Organization’s participating States, and is also a priority for our Chairmanship," he said.
At the OSCE Astana Summit in 2010, Berdimuhammedov underscored that "the most important area, on which the Organization should focus the efforts is the security of international energy supplies."
Turkmenistan is a significant player in the energy market in the Caspian region. The country is the fourth largest country in the world after Russia, Iran and Qatar on the volume of the largest natural gas reserves.
The Turkmenistan-China gas pipeline was launched in 2009 and an additional pipeline branch to Iran was launched in January 2010, thus expanding the energy sale market.
An additional pipeline to Russia (Trans Caspian Pipeline - through Kazakhstan), Europe (Nabucco - on the Caspian Sea through Azerbaijan), and India (TransAfghan- via Pakistan,) are among the most considered projects.
