Ashgabat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday pitched for early implementation of the USD 10 billion TAPI gas pipeline project during his talks with


Turkmenistan President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov as both countries inked seven pacts to ramp up engagement in key areas, including defence.

During their comprehensive talks, both leaders resolved to step up efforts against cross-border threats of terrorism, organised crime and illegal drug-trafficking as they their reaffirmed their commitment for a stable Afghanistan.

The Prime Minister identified terrorism as a major threat facing the region and said, "We have shared interest in a peaceful and stable Afghanistan and Central Asia. We have also common purpose in combating terrorism and extremism in our region."

Terming TAPI (Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) project as a significant initiative in relationship between the two countries, Modi said he conveyed to Berdymukhammedov that multiple options including the possibility of land-sea route through Iran for the pipeline should be explored.

The TAPI gas project is an over 1,800-km pipeline with design capacity to supply 3.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per annum from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

The pipeline is expected to be operational by 2018 and will carry gas from Turkmenistan's Galkynysh field that holds gas reserves of 16 trillion cubic feet.

Modi also emphasised the need for enhancing connectivity, calling it a key aspect of the relationship. He also proposed that Turkmenistan becomes part of International North South Transport Corridor.

Noting that the pipeline project could transform regional economic cooperation and bring prosperity along the route, Modi underlined the need to implement it "quickly" besides expressing readiness for India's long-term investment in the energy sector in Turkmanistan.

"I convey our interest in long-term investment in the energy sector in Turkmanistan," the Prime Minister said.

Modi arrived here last evening after his three-day visit to Ufa in Russia where he attended the BRICS and SCO Summits besides holding bilateral talks with leaders of Pakistan, Russia and China.

Modi has already visited Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and is going to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as part of his eight-day visit to Central Asia.

useless project

The TAPI gas project is an over 1,800-km pipeline with design capacity to supply 3.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per annum from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

The processed natural gas may then be used for residential, commercial and industrial uses.

You are talking to a class of intellectual retards whose sole purpose is to get up in the morning, go to work and sit on PDF and have some hate filled orgasms which makes them feel a sense of achievement in their otherwise repetitive lives that are going nowhere.. You were better off trying to convince a goat that there is more to life than chewing on everything it sees.

On the topic; you have to appreciate the bipolar nature of Modi.. I continue to maintain the man has a pragmatic businessman side and a side that is enslaved to his core hardline hate support. As much as he likes the former and wants to be that leader that changed everything in the region, he remains bound to hateful bigots since they formed the core of his support.

Central Asian Republics wants road access so that they can get Indian goods. And it wont be good for Pakistan to hurt the economy of those nations along with Afghanistan.

Afghans will prefer Indians more than Chinese.
