Turkmenistan: Politics and Government
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the progress by Turkmenistan on climate change, education and gender equality since signing the Cooperation Programme on 23 April 2024.
- Answer
-
We recognise that progress takes time, but the UK continues to work with Turkmenistan on these issues, and regularly discusses them at official and ministerial levels, including at the UK - Central Asian Foreign Ministers' meeting in London, hosted by the Foreign Secretary in February.
We also work to support links with other UK experts in these areas. For example, on climate change, our Embassy in Ashgabat is facilitating an upcoming visit by UK Green Finance, and on education - with the Embassy's support - Nottingham Trent University, Norwich Institute of Language Education, the AQA, Pearson, and the British Council's AELLCA initiative have all signed new partnerships with Turkmenistan.
