The National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, also known as Arkadag, held a telephone conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on 25 June, according to official reports issued by both countries.
During the conversation, the two leaders highlighted the importance of the traditionally productive relationship between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, particularly in the fields of culture, science, education and sports. They also exchanged views on priority issues of bilateral cooperation.
The timing of the call is noteworthy, coming shortly after the landmark state visit of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Azerbaijan earlier this month. During that visit, the two countries reaffirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation across a broad range of sectors, including trade, transport, energy, communications and humanitarian exchanges.
The telephone conversation between Arkadag Berdimuhamedov and President Aliyev underscores the close coordination between the top leadership of the two countries and reflects the strong political will driving the implementation of the agreements and understandings reached during recent high-level contacts.
Relations between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan have gained significant momentum in recent years, supported by regular exchanges at the highest levels and growing cooperation in the Caspian region. Both countries view enhanced connectivity and economic integration as important elements of broader regional development, while maintaining active dialogue on political, economic and cultural matters.
The latest conversation signals continued engagement at the highest level and reinforces the commitment of Ashgabat and Baku to deepen their strategic partnership and translate shared plans into practical cooperation. /// nCa, 26 June 2026
