Spokesperson of Foreign Ministry of Iran Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday that President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov will visit Iran in the near future with a detailed agenda, the Chinese state media organization CGTN reports.

He added that the Foreign Minister of Pakistan Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and the Speaker of National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan will also pay a visit to Iran this week.

In a telephone conversation in May, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov and President of Iran Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi expressed confidence in the further successful development of bilateral cooperation.

In January this year, Turkmenistan started the swap supplies of its natural gas to Azerbaijan through Iran. Iranian Petroleum Minister Javad Ovji and Minister of Economy of Azerbaijan Mikhail Jabbarov last week in Baku signed a Memorandum of Understanding to double the swap supplies of Turkmen gas to Azerbaijan via the Iranian pipeline system.
