Baku. TurkicWorld:

Turkmenistan is a developing country that is becoming increasingly important to Italy, stated Italian Ambassador to Turkmenistan Luigi Ferrari on the sidelines of the 16th Conference of Italian Ambassadors in Farnesina, TurkicWorld reports.

To illustrate why, he believes that one figure is sufficient: 50 trillion cubic meters of natural gas from the country's projected reserves.

He stated that this places Turkmenistan in the top three or four countries in the world in terms of reserves, and that as a result, there is widespread interest in the country.

The Italian envoy also praised Turkmenistan's foreign policy stance, noting that the country adopted the principle of neutrality 28 years ago and does not participate in military alliances.

Meanwhile, on December 18-19, Farnesina will host the 16th Conference of Italian Ambassadors to the World. More than 130 heads of Italian diplomatic missions abroad are expected to participate.
