In February this year, the national air carrier Turkmenistan launched a direct flight from Ashgabat to the Saudi city of Jeddah, which should contribute to the growth of passenger traffic and tourism between the two countries.
Also in January, the Office of the Mufti of Turkmenistan and Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah signed an agreement for Turkmen pilgrims to perform Hajj in 2024, strengthening close religious and cultural ties.
