President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov instructed Deputy Prime Minister Myratgeldi Meredov, who oversees the oil and gas industry, to further modernize the country's oil and gas complex and expand cooperation with foreign companies during the video conference session of the Cabinet of Ministers on Thursday.

All this opens up great opportunities for investment and productive cooperation with representatives of foreign business circles, according to the President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
The Head of State also instructed the Deputy Prime Minister to expand cooperation with foreign companies operating in Turkmenistan, including Petronas, Dragon Oil, China National Petroleum Corporation, Kawasaki, Sojitz, TOYO, Mitsubishi, ITOCHU, LG, Hyundai, Eni, MitroInternational, Petrofac, Tatneft, and Rönesans Holding.
