The pharmaceutical industry of Turkmenistan is strengthening regional cooperation: an agreement has been signed in Tashkent combining the scientific potential of Uzbek universities and investments from Turkmen businesses. This was reported by the news agency Orient.

The document provides for the joint production of medicines, technology transfer and the training of Turkmen personnel at relevant educational institutions in Uzbekistan.

The key partner is the Pharmaceutical Technical University within the framework of ‘Tashkent Pharma Park,’ a modern international-level educational, scientific and production cluster. The ‘Altyn Kanun Maslahat’ division will be responsible for project support, providing consulting and support to businesses and students.

The partnership will allow Turkmenistan, which is developing a medical cluster in Arkadag, to integrate more quickly into the regional drug safety system and build on existing development models.
