The President also drew attention to the fact that for the development of one of the leading sectors of the national economy – fuel and energy complex – large-scale projects are implemented in the country. The interest of foreign partners is due, first of all, to the large-scale reforms implemented in the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan and the high level of cooperation with the world’s leading oil and gas companies, President Berdimuhamedov said.
