Tourist railway routes in Turkmenistan have great potential, according to Russian Railways.
The development of tourist railway routes to Turkmenistan has significant potential. This was stated to journalists by Sergey Pavlov, First Deputy General Director and Chairman of the Management Board of Russian Railways (RZD).
“Considering the opportunities and the way Turkmenistan is developing, as well as the history this country possesses, it connects not only the North and the South, but also the East and the West. Therefore, I believe that together we should make very active and effective use of this potential,” he said, adding that interest in such routes is undeniable.
Pavlov made this statement on the sidelines of the 84th meeting of the Council for Railway Transport of the CIS member states, which is being held in Ashgabat on May 13–14. The previous meeting took place in Baku.
In 2026, Turkmenistan assumed the chairmanship of CIS bodies from Tajikistan. The country is presiding over the Council of Heads of State, the Council of Heads of Government, the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Economic Council, the Council of Permanent Plenipotentiary Representatives, and the Commission on Economic Issues under the Economic Council.
