The sides discussed priority areas of cooperation, in particular the trade and economic sphere, fuel and energy sphere as well as education, the Turkmen State News Agency (TDH) said. The head of state welcomed the decision of the Petronas University of Technology to increase a quota for Turkmen students from 10 to 15 people.
At the end of talks the sides signed an agreement on avoidance of double taxation and tax evasion.
