During his visit, the Prime Minister is expected to hold bilateral meetings with Turkmenistan President Sardar Berdimuhamedow and engage with leaders from other countries attending the forum. Discussions will focus on mutual cooperation, regional stability, economic partnerships, and the progress of energy projects, including the critical TAPI gas pipeline initiative.
