CIFA sign MoU with Turkmenistan Logistics Association

The MoU outlines that both sides will deepen their cooperation based on the principles of mutual benefit, openness, and shared interests. Areas of collaboration include the exchange of industry information, professional talent development, exhibition and forum cooperation, as well as member exchange visits.

According to data, total trade between China and Turkmenistan reached $12.2 billion in 2024, representing an 8.4 per cent increase year-on-year. China imports natural gas, chemicals, cotton, and other resource-based products from Turkmenistan, while exporting machinery, electronics, building materials, and consumer goods, indicating the wide-ranging nature of bilateral cooperation. Logistics, as a critical component in trade relations, plays an essential role in stabilising supply chains and enhancing trade facilitation, CIFA said on its website.

At present, China-Turkmenistan cooperation in areas like the China-Europe Railway Express, cross-border road transport, and Central Asia multi-modal transport routes is becoming increasingly mature. The logistics cooperation between China’s Horgos and Alashankou ports and Turkmenistan’s ports continues to strengthen, laying a solid foundation for promoting connectivity and logistics integration across Central Asia.
