<\/p>\nBy King\u2019s Office Correspondents<\/p>\n
AWAZA, TURKMENISTAN \u2013 Just a day after the Kingdom of Eswatini and Turkmenistan established diplomatic relations, His Majesty the King wants two major Turkmenistan companies to open their offices in the country.<\/p>\n
The King, accompanied by Inkhosikati LaMotsa, Emazinyane Princess Sikhanyiso, Princes Sicalo, Lindani, Princess Nqobile and Ministers Pholile Shakantu of Foreign Affairs and Chief Ndlaluhlaza of Public Works, toured Turkmenbashy Oil Processing Complex (TNGIZT) and Turkmen Bashi International Seaport to be apprised and establish links with the view to working closely with the Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The King\u2019s tour of these two major facilities took place on the sidelines of the third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs). The experience from these tours is expected to aid in the establishment of the E5.2 billion Strategic Oil Reserve to be built at Phuzamoya in Siphofaneni, commencing before the fall of the year.<\/p>\n
His Majesty the King was taken through the company\u2019s operations by General Director Cishiywe Dovran Gurbangeldiyevich and Deputy Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources Batyr Jumayev, who informed him that it was established in 1943.<\/p>\n
\u201cTNGIZT is involved in the processing of oil and gas condensate, the production of various oil and petrochemical products and their sale in the domestic and foreign markets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe production capacity of the complex of plants includes a number of oil refineries, as well as a number of oil refineries that increase the depth of primary oil refining.<\/p>\n
The company produces over 150 oil products amongst which are types of products produced at the complex includes amongst which is jet fuel purifier,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
diesel fuel water purifier, paraffin, olefin alkylation and light gas isomerizer, production of polypropylene coatings, bitumen, general oil coating, drying oil coating, polypropylene and polypropylene packages,\u201d he said, to name just a few.<\/p>\n
The complex is completed with power-generating gas turbine plants, seawater desalination plants, steam generators, secondary water coolers, pumping stations, tank farms, power plants and other auxiliary facilities.<\/p>\n
Dovran stated that their high-quality oil and petrochemical products produced at the Turkmenbashi oil processing complex are exported to different directions, namely to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
His Majesty the King expressed the country\u2019s interest in partnering with the company and in future considering establishing strong links and sales agreements that would see the company\u2019s products reaching Eswatini.<\/p>\n
The King said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation will soon make follow-ups to see what could be done to ensure that relations between the two countries are strengthened and open more trade opportunities.<\/p>\n
From the Turkmenbashy Oil Processing Complex, the King and his delegation toured Turkmen Bashi International Seaport, where he also had an interest in the possibilities of opening trade routes and further benefit from the company\u2019s experience as a landlocked country in the movement of goods.<\/p>\n
Yunus Kakabayor, the Channel\u2019s director, explained to the King that their port is involved in the movement of millions of cargo per annum to various markets across the world, especially in Central Asia, Europe and neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n
Chief Ndlaluhlaza, the Minister of Public Works and Transport, expressed the country\u2019s interest in learning from Turkmen Bash International Seaport, especially because the country was exploring options of joining the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United Nations promotes that even landlocked countries should have access to the coasts and operate their own seaports. Part of the bilateral agreements we signed with Mozambique would assist in such an endeavour, hence our visit to this seaport here,\u201d the minister said in an interview.<\/p>\n
The companies appreciated His Majesty the King\u2019s gesture to visit each one of them and indicated that it will forever remain in their records that such an esteemed guest visited their facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By King\u2019s Office Correspondents AWAZA, TURKMENISTAN \u2013 Just a day after the Kingdom of Eswatini and Turkmenistan established…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,22,24,25,29,26],"tags":[46,55,49,58],"class_list":["post-1052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","category-eswatini-daily-news","category-future","category-national","category-science-future","category-swaziland","tag-africa","tag-business","tag-human-interest","tag-national","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n
