In discussing key collaborative projects, Khamenei stressed the importance of initiatives such as the South-North highway project and the Turkmenistan gas pipeline development, aiming to operationalize these endeavors. He remarked, “The implementation of these big projects with the cooperation of Iranian technicians and experts will bring the close relations between the two countries even closer than ever.”

Berdimuhamedow expressed a familial connection between the two nations, stating, “I had good and constructive talks with the President in Tehran, and I hope that the signed agreements will yield good results.”

He also took a moment to remember the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, acknowledging the efforts made during his administration to enhance Iran-Turkmenistan relations.
