WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a landmark event for bilateral relations, the Turkmen American Business Cooperation Association (TABCA) participated in the Turkmenistan-American Business Forum held in November 2025. This high-level gathering, coinciding with the C5+1 Summit, served as a critical platform for expanding economic ties and fostering a new era of “Commercial Diplomacy” between the United States and Turkmenistan.
A New Chapter in Economic Cooperation
The forum was marked by the presence of senior government officials and executives from world-renowned American companies, including John Deere, General Electric, SpaceX, and Oppenheimer Holdings Inc.. Discussions focused on integrating Turkmenistan further into the global financial system and leveraging American innovation to support Turkmenistan’s socio-economic development.
Key strategic focus areas included:
