Romania is looking for an opportunity to participate in natural-gas exploration in Turkmenistan.
Romanian president Traian Basescu said so yesterday (Tues) before leaving on a two-day visit to that country.
"Our intention is to explore for gas deposits in Turkmenistan and to provide the Turkmen side with drilling equipment," Basescu declared.
Basescu said his visit would be in line with Romania’s foreign policy to improve political and economic ties with states in the Caspian region and in Central Asia.
The visit takes place at an anniversary moment for Romanian-Turkmen relations since it has been 17 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations and 16 years since the Romanian embassy in Turkmenistan began to operate.
Basescu and his Turkmen counterpart Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov will sign an agreement providing for future bilateral cooperation, mainly in the energy sector.
Turkmenistan, with a population of around five million people, has some of the largest natural-gas reserves in the world.
