KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 — Malaysia is strengthening its energy partnership with Turkmenistan to unlock new commercial opportunities for companies, particularly in higher-value oil and gas services, technology and specialised engineering, said Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir.

“Our companies are ready to work with Turkmenistan partners not only as suppliers, but as long-term collaborators committed to local value creation,” the minister said in his remarks during the opening plenary of the Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2026 in Ashgabat.

The three-day OGT 2026, which began on Oct 21, brought together 20 Malaysian oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) companies, including Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), according to a statement by the Economy Ministry today.
