Seoul and Ashgabat Deepen Ties After Successful Iran Evacuation

Following the evacuation, President Yoon and President Berdimuhamedow signed a series of bilateral documents aimed at expanding cooperation across energy, transport, and cultural exchange. The two leaders referred to the 2008 mutual‑benefit partnership as a foundation that now includes new initiatives in renewable energy, rail connectivity, and joint tourism promotion. Both officials expressed optimism that the recent collaboration would translate into tangible projects, leveraging Turkmenistan’s vast natural resources and strategic location on the Caspian Sea to enhance South Korea’s access to Central Asian markets.
