Turkmenistan is set to become the first Central Asian country to gain access to Gwadar port under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Pakistan and Turkmenistan will soon sign an agreement in this regard. The government has constituted a committee to examine the draft agreement between Gwadar Port and Turkmenbashi Port under CPEC.

The two countries are already working on various joint projects including TAPI pipeline, rail track and fiber connectivity to connect the regions of South and Central Asia.
