TURKMENISTAN AND JAPAN SIGNED A SOLID PACKAGE OF AGREEMENTS

The second day of the visit of President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Japan was marked by the signing of an impressive package of bilateral agreements and memorandums. The documents cover a wide range of areas - from industry and energy to education, ecology and water management, which indicates a systematic approach to the development of the Turkmen-Japanese partnership.

The most significant of the signed documents were framework agreements with leading Japanese and Turkish companies for the implementation of large industrial facilities.

These are such significant infrastructure projects for the economy as the construction of a second plant for processing natural gas into gasoline in the Ahal velayat with the participation of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Itochu Corporation and Rönesans, as well as the creation of a new carbamide plant with a capacity of more than a million tons per year in the village of Kiyanly together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation and Gap Inşaat.

The same group of large projects includes the overhaul of the Kiyanly Polymer Plant with the involvement of Toyo Engineering and Rönesans.

The energy agenda with an emphasis on the "green transition" was not ignored either. This is evidenced by the agreement signed between the Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan and Sumitomo Corporation on the transfer of gas power plants from an open cycle to a more efficient combined cycle.

In total, 17 documents were signed during the second day of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov's visit to Japan. Of these, 11 were between government agencies and companies, and 6 were educational and humanitarian in nature.
