Turkmenistan to suggest RF more constructive way of cooperation.
ASHGABAT, December 20 (Itar-Tass) - Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov intends to suggest Dmitry Medvedev "a more constructive approach to defining formats of cooperation" between Turkmenistan and Russia.
"A regular Turkmen-Russian summit is called upon to become an
important move for deepening the traditional dialogue with Russia, given
now a new impetus, and more constructive approach to defining formats of
cooperation, taking into account all available opportunities for
partnership," said the Turkmen president on Saturday at the cabinet
meeting.
The presidential press service reported on Sunday that the meeting
discussed a programme of the coming working visit by the Russian president
to Ashgabat on December 22.
"Russia is an important strategic partner of Turkmenistan,"
Berdymukhamedov emphasised at the meeting. "The talks will discuss
important aspects of strengthening interstate cooperation in some priority
areas. Turkmenistan intends, in future too, to develop all-round and
traditionally friendly as well as good-neighbourly relations with the
Russian Federation," the Turkmen president noted.
The main topic of the talks is cooperation in gas supplies,
interrupted in April. Up to this time, the sides cannot agree a price and
volumes of deliveries for 2010. The sides will also examine possibilities
of deliveries of oil products and other Turkmen goods to the Russian
market as well as prospects for more active participation of Russian
industrialists in Turkmen economic reforms.
Medvedev will visit Turkmenistan for the second time this year. In
September, the Russian president flew to the Caspian port of Turkmenbashi
where the final leg of the motor rally "Silk Road-2009"
(Russia-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan) was flagged off.
Berdymukhamedov visited Moscow twice this year: it was a state visit
in March and a working one in late October. The presidents met quite
recently at the CIS informal summit in Alma-Ata.
During the visit, the two presidents plan to participate in the
unveiling ceremony of the Turkmen-Russian general secondary school named
after the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, whose construction was
funded by Russian Gazprom.
