​Turkmen Ambassador to Tehran Ahmad Qorbanov has expressed hope for the expansion of bilateral ties between his country and IDRO, particularly when it comes to joint gas projects. The ambassador made the remarks during a meeting with IDRO Chairman Dr. Moazami, where Qorbanov underscored that the chairman’s valuable experiences in the Iranian oil ministry can contribute to the signing of joint gas projects between the sides.  “The Turkmen government is interested in joint gas projects with Iran and fortunately, initial steps have been taken. With new structural changes, we hope Turkmen Gas initiates one project soon,” the ambassador was quoted as saying in the meeting.  Referring to the long-standing ties between Iran and Turkmenistan, the IDRO chairman, for his part, said, “Bilateral cooperation benefits the both sides and can set the scene for cooperation with all other countries, as well.” “We hope that the two sides clear the obstacles to joint gas projects so as to prevent delays,” Dr. Mozami added.
