BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 8. Turkmenistan and Kuwait discussed prospects for expanding bilateral cooperation in political, economic, and humanitarian areas.
This was reported by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Tajikistan following a meeting between Ambassador to Tajikistan Aymyrat Gochmyradov and Kuwait's Ambassador to Tajikistan Mohammad Rashid Al-Amiri in Dushanbe.
The sides noted that “Turkmen-Kuwaiti relations are consistently strengthening thanks to the personal attention and support of the leaders of the two states.”
Al-Amiri expressed appreciation to the Turkmen side for assistance in organizing the safe transit of Kuwaiti citizens through Turkmenistan amid the situation in the Middle East, the report says.
The sides also noted that the recent opening of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Dushanbe creates additional opportunities to expand bilateral cooperation.
They exchanged views on regional and international issues and confirmed their interest in maintaining constructive dialogue and further strengthening bilateral ties.
For reference, Turkmenistan and Kuwait established diplomatic relations in 1995. Their bilateral ties have developed through political contacts and economic cooperation, with the two countries signing a package of agreements and memorandums in 2018 covering trade, economic and technical cooperation, investment and energy-related areas.
The economic agenda gained additional momentum in February 2026, when a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Turkmenistan visited the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the first time. The sides discussed expanding trade and mutual investment, developing direct business contacts, logistics, food security, industrial cooperation, and energy and petrochemicals. This provides a broader economic context for the latest diplomatic contacts between the two countries.
