Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan Raja Pervez Ashraf in a meeting with Ambassador of Turkmenistan to Pakistan Atajan Movlamov in Islamabad on Wednesday invited Turkmenistan to benefit the potential of Pakistan's seaports – Gwadar, Bin Qasim, and Karachi.

The Speaker underlined the need to enhance bilateral trade and investment, the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Pakistan said in its press release.

The Turkmen envoy updated the Speaker on the implementation of the projects of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP) power transmission and fibre-optic lines.
