ISLAMABAD - Pakistan and Turkmenistan have signed five agreements and memoranda of understanding to boost cooperation in the fields of trade, energy, media and culture.
One of the agreements relates to the $7.6 billion Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project under which Pakistan will get 1.3 billion cubic feet per day of gas. The TAPI accord is a follow-up to an inter-government agreement signed by Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and India in December last year.

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani speaking on the occasion said the two countries were strategic partners and Pakistan could provide Turkmenistan corridors over land and sea routes. “Pakistan supports the energy corridor — TAPI — and also wants to import 1,000MW electricity from Turkmenistan.”
