Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani have signed an agreement on a strategic partnership between their countries.

Turkmenistan’s State Information Agency said the two leaders signed the document in Ashgabat on February 21 after discussing bilateral trade, energy, and cultural ties.

Berdymukhammedov reportedly said Turkmenistan was ready to try to help bring Taliban negotiators together with Afghan officials for peace talks.

Among other issues they discussed was the ongoing construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India natural-gas pipeline.

Agreements also were signed in a bid to boost cooperation in the energy and transports sectors — including an accord on customs cooperation and construction of a railroad connecting Turkmenistan with Tajikistan via Afghanistan.

    *YES; all the free water from the
    rainfalls and glaciated mountains
    of
    Afghanistan ends up
    in
    Turkmenista and Uzbekistan.
    =====================

    There are lots of shared interest but, unfortunately, no visble commercial connections exist to be able
    to
    mobilize and accommodate
    those common resources for the
    benefits
    of
    all people of the region- the
    bullying powers are excercizing
    their own
    evil and exclusive
    agendas.

    You could only hope a bright future; if and only if, the heavy
    burden
    is
    lifted
    off
    and
    completely
    tossed out.

    A SENSIBLE
    “COMMON ECONOMIC UNION”
    COULD EASILY
    VITALIZE
    THE
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE REGION
    AS A GLOBAL HUB.

    *All the necessary human and natural resources
    are
    regionally available
    in
    there !

    What are you folks
    are
    waiting
    for ?????

    An economic union
    of
    some sort,
    with all the neighbors
    of
    Afghanistan.

    * Let us
    strive
    for
    that
    honorable goal !

    *That way; we would be
    able
    to
    run all murderers; invaders; smugglers; drug dealers, human traffickers and all other forms of exotic exploitations
    out of business- and hopefully, for good.

    Of coarse; it will also
    signify and ensure
    a
    slow but eventual
    endgame
    of
    the regionally-stationed
    dictating strong men
    and
    their unrelenting
    crazy *sponsors.

    The *Albino man
    ignited the
    flames
    of
    destruction throughout
    Afghanistan- but; the ugly rats will
    never be able
    to
    extinguish it !

    Honorable folks,
    of all backgrounds, must strive
    to
    bring a peaceful end to all of the
    already highly-prolonged
    *SAVAGERIES !

    *IT IS
    EVERYBODY’S
    *CIVILIZED RESPONSIBLITY !
