A delegation of six leading Dutch agro-industrial companies led by East-West Trade visited Turkmenistan. The visit was organized with the aim of developing cooperation in the agricultural sector, exchanging advanced technologies and expanding partnerships.
The mission was a return visit after a successful agricultural forum held in Amsterdam last year, at which the Turkmen side presented the country’s agricultural potential, the press service of the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Belgium reports.
During the visit of the Dutch delegation, productive meetings were held with representatives of government departments of Turkmenistan and the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan (UIET). During the negotiations, prospects for bilateral cooperation were discussed, as well as specific areas of interaction in the agricultural sector.
Particular attention was paid to cooperation in the horticultural sector, which is seen as a key area for ensuring food security and rational use of water resources.
Following the negotiations, both sides confirmed their readiness to develop a long-term partnership, including through possible public-private partnerships.
The upcoming visit of the Turkmen delegation to the Netherlands will be a reciprocal step.
