ASHGABAT March 19 (Xinhua) -- Turkmenistan is actively developing regional cooperation in the energy and transport sectors, said Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov here Wednesday.

Berdimuhamedov made the remarks in his address to participants of the international conference "The Role of Interregional Economic Cooperation in Ensuring Sustainable Development" in Ashgabat, local media reported.
