Turkmenistan is interested in the participation of large financial and investment of Qatar in the implementation of the transnational project of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India gas pipeline (TAPI).

This is while in Ashgabat, Qatar Al Qamra Holding and the government of Turkmenistan signed a Memorandum of understanding on financing potential projects in Turkmenistan on June 20 last year.

In this regard, the Turkmen bank held a presentation of major investment projects implemented in the country for the representative delegation of Qatar headed by the Director of Al Qamra Holding Hamad Saleh al Qamra. The parties paid special attention to the expansion of the domestic market, the introduction of innovations and the increase in the volume of exports of goods.

The fuel and energy complex, transport and communication sphere, and chemical and medical industry were named among the main vectors of interaction.
