The talks took place in Baku between a Turkmen delegation led by Turkmenbashi International Seaport Director Parahat Jumayev and Baku International Sea Port Director Eldar Salakhov, the Turkmen Foreign Ministry reported Tuesday.
Officials highlighted the strategic partnership between the ports of Turkmenbashi and Baku (Alyat), noting efforts to increase cargo flows, simplify cross-border and customs procedures, and reduce tariffs, which have boosted multimodal transport and container transit.
