Turkmenistan and Italy continue to strengthen relations as they prepare for two important events. As part of this process, a meeting was held between Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Turkmenistan to Italy Toyli Komekov and Italy's Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Edmondo Cirielli, according to the news website Asmannews.

The main topics of negotiation were preparations for a state visit and a large-scale archaeological exhibition. The parties discussed strengthening political, diplomatic, trade and economic ties, as well as expanding cooperation in the cultural and humanitarian spheres.

During the meeting, special attention was paid to the preparation of an exhibition of unique artefacts at the Capitoline Museum in Rome. The exhibition will introduce visitors to the priceless finds of the ancient civilisations of Margiana and Nisa. Among the exhibits, items discovered during joint Turkmen-Italian archaeological expeditions are of particular value. This exhibition will be an important milestone in many years of cooperation and one of the key cultural events of the year.

The main topic of the meeting was the visit of the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, to Italy, which is planned for this year. This visit is seen as an important step in giving new impetus to bilateral relations. The diplomats agreed to hold a series of events with the participation of the heads of relevant departments.

The upcoming events demonstrate the growing importance of the strategic partnership between Turkmenistan and Italy and open up new opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation for the benefit of the peoples of both countries.
