Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Ambassador of Turkmenistan to Pakistan Atajan Movlamov in a meeting in Islamabad on Monday discussed the timely completion of Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project.

In a tweet on the meeting, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called the Pakistan-Turkmenistan relations fraternal.

The sides also discussed ways to strengthen trade and economic ties, and energy connectivity.

The TAPI pipeline is expected to carry 33 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas each year along a route stretching 1,800 km from Galkynysh, the world's second-biggest gas field in Turkmenistan, to the Indian city of Fazilka near the Pakistan border.
