On November 10, an online meeting took place between representatives of the Ministry of Communications of Turkmenistan and the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO). The parties discussed future steps to advance their cooperation, including the establishment of a joint working group, the attraction of investment, support for startups, and the development of a "Central Asia–Europe" digital corridor.

Following the meeting, the Turkmen side invited the Digital Cooperation Organization to participate in the "Turkmentel-2026" exhibition. In turn, representatives of the Digital Cooperation Organization expressed their intention to send an official invitation to the Turkmen side to attend a meeting of the DCO Council of Ministers, scheduled to be held in Islamabad in March 2027.

The Digital Cooperation Organization was established in November 2020. It is an international multilateral organization headquartered in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The DCO’s supreme body is the Council of Ministers, which comprises representatives from the ministries responsible for communications and information technology in the member states. The organization is led by Secretary-General Deemah Al-Yahya.

The activities of the Digital Cooperation Organization are focused on ensuring universal digital prosperity, narrowing the digital divide, and accelerating the development of an inclusive digital economy. The organization places particular emphasis on expanding opportunities for youth, women, and entrepreneurs, as well as on developing cross-border data exchange and strengthening cybersecurity.
