Liu Chuanwu, founder of the Silk Road Economic Alliance and Head of ‘Huahe International’, addressed the International Forum on Private Sector Investment ‘Investing in the Future of Turkmenistan’ (‘IFT 2026’) in Ashgabat. This was reported by IIC.

He emphasised Turkmenistan’s strategic role as a consistent and reliable investment partner. The Chinese delegation, comprising more than twenty executives from leading companies, expressed its readiness to invest in key sectors of the country’s economy.

Investors’ interests span smart agriculture, seed production, energy equipment manufacturing, satellite communications and IT. Liu Chuanwu noted that the technological capabilities of Chinese companies align with Turkmenistan’s plans for industrialisation and private sector development.

Particular attention was paid to the cooperation between ‘Huahe International’ and the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan: strengthening interaction with state bodies, establishing permanent trade channels and organising regular business missions. According to Liu Chuanwu, ‘IFT 2026’ could serve as a starting point for the practical implementation of agreements and a new level of investment partnership between Turkmenistan and China.
