Welcome to Europa House website

The EU and Turkmenistan have been partners since country's independence, sharing a dialogue, which has continually expanded and consolidated. In 1998, the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement was signed and in April 2009, it was ratified by the European Parliament. Since 2004, after the resuming of its Joint Committee meetings the EU and Turkmenistan have strengthened the bilateral cooperation. A new start of cooperation as strategic partners was done during the President Berdymuhamedov's visit to Brussels in 2007, where he held meetings with the high-ranking EU officials. Just after the 5 months, after the President Berdymuhamedov's visit to Brussels, the European Commission opened Europa House in Ashgabat in April 2008, which is the focal point for all EC assistance and EU initiatives in Turkmenistan. Another achievement of the EU-Turkmenistan cooperation was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in the field of Energy.

Now Turkmenistan participates in several EU regional programmes. In addition, the EU supports Turkmenistan by national level programmes. For more information please visit EU-Turkmenistan page.
