Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei expressed on Wednesday Iran's readiness to strengthen ties with Turkmenistan in the energy and transportation sectors, Iranian news agency Mehr reported.

During a meeting with Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the chairman of the People’s Council of the National Assembly of Turkmenistan, Sayyed Khamenei said Iran and Turkmenistan are two brotherly countries with numerous cultural similarities, emphasizing that these cultural similarities are a crucial foundation for further increasing partnerships in different sectors, particularly energy, and transportation.

The Iranian leader stressed that "these cultural fields should not be underestimated."

Sayyed Khamenei hailed Berdimuhamedov's special focus on cultural and religious files, as well as his initiatives to build more cultural centers and mosques.

"In the field of commercial issues, there are more potential to expand cooperation, especially in the road sector and areas related to water, electricity and gas. The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to cooperate in these sectors," he indicated.

In response to Berdimuhamedov's request for the participation of Iranian professionals and experts in constructing a highway from the Iran-Turkmenistan border to the Caspian Sea, Sayyed Khamenei affirmed that "Iran's Ministry of Roads has the capability to build this highway."
