The second meeting on the preparations for the International conference on The Prospects of Developing Transport and Transit Traffic in the Caspian Region and Central Asia to be held in Ashgabat on May 16, 2012 took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan. The meeting was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan and the Ministry of Motor Transport of Turkmenistan jointly with the International Road Transport Union (IRU), reported the State News Agency of Turkmenistan (TDH).

The heads of the diplomatic missions and international organizations accredited in the country took part in the meeting.

President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, who underlined the importance of developing the transport communications with the aim to stir up the economic and trading relations in the regional and continental scale, and reaffirmed the invariable aspiration of neutral Turkmenistan to make a significant contribution to ensure the uninterrupted transport and transit traffic between the countries of the region speaking at the 66th session of the UN General Assembly, put forward an initiative of organizing the conference.

Within the framework of the National Programme on developing the national economy, a number of large-scale projects are implemented in Turkmenistan in order to optimize the traffic flow in Eurasia. Jointly with the countries of the region and the relevant structures of the UN and OSCE, Turkmenistan actively develops such prospective transport corridors as North-South and East-West that will become a bridge of cooperation and development of the trading and economic relations between the countries of the Eurasian continent.

In this regard the meeting participants underlined the urgency of the forthcoming conference in order to develop an optimal solution of the problems in the interest of peoples of the region and the whole world as well. It was also noted that the conference in Ashgabat would become the first practical step in implementation of the constructive initiatives of Turkmenistan in development of the UN Special Programme on developing the transit and transport potential between the Caspian and Black Seas, Middle Asia and Middle East.

The meeting participants exchanged their views on a number of aspects of the forthcoming forum discussing the conference agenda and a number of organizational issues.
