At the Investment Forum in Awaza, Turkmenistan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ahmet Gurbanov presented the country’s long-term strategy to position itself as a reliable and predictable partner for international business, Orient.tm reports.
Gurbanov emphasized that Turkmenistan’s investment appeal is not built on short-term incentives, but on a state-backed, long-term development roadmap extending to 2052 — ensuring stability and continuity for global investors.
Four Pillars of Investment Stability:
Political Predictability
Turkmenistan’s permanent neutrality and commitment to good neighborliness create a uniquely stable environment for long-term projects — a critical advantage amid global volatility.
Economic Modernization
The country is systematically expanding its private sector, diversifying beyond hydrocarbons, and accelerating digital transformation — with a strong focus on green economy and renewable energy.
Priority Investment Sectors:
- Energy: Vast natural gas reserves + the TAPI pipeline (Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India) + emerging hydrogen and solar power initiatives.
- Transport: Positioned as a transcontinental hub linking East-West and North-South corridors.
- Agribusiness: High-tech, eco-friendly production for global export markets.
- Digital Economy: E-governance, smart infrastructure, and startup-friendly policies.
Innovation & Sustainability
Turkmenistan is actively investing in renewables and hydrogen technologies, opening new frontiers for international collaboration in clean energy.
“We are not just offering a market — we are offering a partnership for decades to come,” Gurbanov declared, underscoring that political stability and systemic planning are the bedrock guarantees for investors.
The Awaza Forum has become the launchpad for Turkmenistan’s new investment era — one where traditional energy resources converge with technological innovation, and neutrality transforms into a strategic competitive edge.
