Turkmenistan and Iran agreed to establish a joint trade center aimed at facilitating economic ties between the two neighboring countries.

 Welcoming the proposals of the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkmenistan to establish a joint business center, Iran's minister said: "We have established business centers in 16 countries and this is a good way to expand economic relations."
The two sides also agreed to draft a one-year roadmap for economic cooperation.
During the talks, Batyr Atdayev also called for the reopening of the joint trade exhibitions and border markets.
The talks were held ahead of the Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov’s official visit to Iran.
