Central Asian gas deliveries to Europe are at stake as Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev visits Turkmenistan at the invitation of the Turkmen president.

This would help bring the rich gas resources of the region to the European market.

The project was proposed in 2007, but has suffered delays over a number of technicalities.

Among other issues expected to be discussed are agriculture, transport, telecommunications, industrial co-operation and delivery of machinery manufacturing products.

This the fourth visit to Turkmenistan by the Russian president. The previous one was about a year ago.
