As part of his visit to Georgia, the President of Turkmenistan held a one-on-one meeting with Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili.

An official welcoming ceremony for the President of Turkmenistan was held at the Georgian President’s Orbeliani Palace. The heads of the two states then held one-on-one talks.

During the meeting, the parties exchanged views on the current state and prospects of bilateral cooperation and discussed its priority areas.
