Turkmenistan to provide Afghan railway employees with training scholarships

Ambassador of Turkmenistan to Kabul, Khawaja Awadov, said in a meeting with the chief director of Afghanistan’s Railway Authority, Mullah Bakhtur Rahman Sharaf, that 28 educational scholarships will be given to the employees of this authority.

Detailed discussions were held on cooperation related to the railway sector and the Turkmen ambassador assured the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) of their extensive cooperation.

Reports indicate that Afghan employees will spend four months at a time in Turkmenistan for training.

This comes after the President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said a few months ago that his country is ready to cooperate closely with the IEA.

Berdimuhamedov stated that Turkmenistan follows the policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of foreign countries.
