Ambassador of Turkmenistan to Belgium Sapar Palvanov joined ambassadors from Central Asian countries and Mongolia Thursday for a meeting with President of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives Peter De Ruwer.

The sides exchanged views on prospects for developing relations between Belgium and the region, including Turkmenistan, focusing on parliamentary engagement and potential cooperation in transport, energy, climate, and education.

They also highlighted the importance of strengthening contacts among people, youth, educational, and cultural circles as a key factor in building a strong and long-term partnership.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives is the lower house of the federal parliament, responsible for adopting legislation, ratifying international agreements, and fostering interparliamentary cooperation.
