President Serdar Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan is making his first official visit to Malaysia, focusing on strengthening bilateral ties and exploring cooperation opportunities in various sectors.
The President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, began a two-day official visit to Malaysia today with a formal welcoming ceremony at the Perdana Putra Complex. This is his first trip to the country since taking office in March 2022. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim welcomed him at 9 am, followed by the playing of both national anthems. President Berdimuhamedow inspected a guard of honour mounted by three officers and 103 members from the First Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment.
Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, other Cabinet members, foreign diplomats, and senior government officials were also present. A statement from Wisma Putra yesterday indicated that the two leaders will focus on bilateral matters, particularly trade and investment, oil and gas cooperation, higher education, tourism, and connectivity. They will also exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual concern, including Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship in 2025. According to a Foreign Ministry statement on Wednesday, Berdimuhamedow was accompanied by six deputy prime ministers, including deputy prime minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Rashid Meredov, and five Cabinet ministers, including Minister of Defence Maksat Babayev, Minister of Culture Atageldi Shamyradov, and Minister of Agriculture Charyyar Chetiyev. Trade between Malaysia and Turkmenistan has seen significant growth, with total trade increasing by 74.8 percent from January to October 2024.
