India and Turkmenistan are great ancient civilizations with ties dating back to several millennia. These ties were enriched and strengthened by continued interaction in centuries gone by. There are common strands of history, language, heritage and culture.
India's capital city, Delhi, is dotted with monuments that prove this legacy. One example of it is the all round contribution of Bairam Khan Turkman, and his philosopher son Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khanan, in the reign of Akbar the Great in the 16th century; it is part of school history textbooks in India.
India considers Turkmenistan an extended neighbour, a natural ally and a key partner in Central Asia. There are opportunities in both countries, complementarities in resources and skills and willingness to develop a strategic friendship. We need persistence in the pursuit of mutually beneficial projects, allowing more exchanges of people, ideas and appropriate technologies and devising common strategies on issues of mutual interest.
We appreciate the bold initiatives taken in Turkmenistan towards economic reforms and to attract foreign investment. The ongoing economic reforms will pave the way for a rapid transformation and India would like to be a partner in progress with Turkmenistan.
India on its part is a vibrant and growing economy with significant capabilities in key service sectors and in specific areas of manufacturing industry and R&D. We must interact on the basis of our competitive advantage and locational advantage. Major multi-national companies of the world are based in India and many Indian companies have global operations. Our technically qualified workforce is contributing to their success worldwide.
