The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Turkmenistan are actively engaged in a dialogue on developing sustainable water solutions. This collaboration is crucial for both countries, as they face similar challenges in managing water resources in arid regions.
Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Chief Managing Director of Sustainable Water Solutions (Abu Dhabi), recently visited Ashgabat. During his visit, Al-Shamsi and his delegation held a series of talks with senior Turkmen officials in water management, agriculture, environmental protection, investment, and energy sectors. The goal was to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation and develop relations between the two countries in the field of sustainable water solutions.
