A meeting of members of the third Turkmen-Kyrgyz intergovernmental commission was held at the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan in Ashgabat on July 30.

The participants discussed the creation of joint ventures that will send products to the markets of the European Union, the Eurasian Economic Union and China, Central Asian media outlets reported.

“Today we have all the opportunities to implement joint projects with access to quite large consumer markets, in particular, the ??EU, where we can sell joint products, without any fees,” said Kyrgyz Minister of Economy Oleg Pankratov.

The minister added that goods and services produced with the participation of Kyrgyz enterprises can be exported to the virtually unlimited Chinese market, since there are trade balance arrangements between Kyrgyzstan and China, which already allows the country to significantly increase exports.
