Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has invited energy companies of Turkmenistan to establish operations in Pakistan. Addressing an event in Ashgabat, he expressed optimism about the realization of the Turkmenistan-to-Pakistan Gas Pipeline project, which would allow Turkmenistan’s energy resources to reach Pakistan and beyond.

He highlighted that the project would contribute to regional energy security and support Pakistan’s green energy transition, essential for coping with climate challenges and ensuring sustainable, accessible energy for all. Ahsan Iqbal also identified significant opportunities for collaboration in meat, fish, fruits and other agri-based products. He noted the potential for strong industrial cooperation between Turkmenistan’s cotton production and Pakistan’s textile industry.
