Turkmenistan’s Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov met on Thursday, August 22, with the President and Chief Engineer of Pakistan’s Frontier Works Organization (FWO) Kashif Nazir.
“The parties considered the possibility of establishing partnerships in the area of urban development, improving road and transport infrastructure, and constructing irrigation systems,” the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
The meeting participants exchanged views on cooperation in view of the planned large-scale projects in Turkmenistan and taking into account FWO’s successful long-term experience.
Frontier Works Organization was founded in 1966 to build an overland link across the world’s highest mountain ranges, the Karakoram Highway, also known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. Since then, it has come a long way to become one of the largest firms in Pakistan today, specializing in numerous areas of civil engineering. The organization has successfully completed construction and rehabilitation projects in Kuwait, Afghanistan, Liberia, and the UAE as well.
FWO’s main areas of activity are: highways, bridges and overpasses, power plants and transmission lines, tunnel works, dams and irrigation, railway infrastructure, airports and ports, etc. /// nCa, 23 August 2024 (in cooperation with MFA Turkmenistan, some passages from Orient and Turkmenportal, pictures credit MFA Turkmenistan)
