Bilateral relations between the two countries and regional issues came up in the meeting.
The two-day Global Sustainable Transport Conference begins in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan on Saturday to highlight the fundamental role of sustainable transport in fighting climate change.
The conference will discuss role of integrated and sustainable transport including rail, aviation, ferry and maritime in supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
Pakistan is keen to improve connectivity with Central Asian States by establishing transport and communication links.
These links will be conducive to tapping the potential of trade, economic interaction, people-to-people contacts and tourism.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the country will move backward instead of progressing due to one political party’s actions.
Speaking to media in Ashgabat, the Prime Minister regretted that some political parties are doing politics of 1990.
He said the PML-N did not create any hurdle in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) path in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and they were allowed to form the government there.
Nawaz Sharif said his party participated in elections under the General (r) Pervez Musharraf’s interim government and accepted the results wholeheartedly.
