Turkmenistan

The contemporary nations of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan are the products of The Great Game in Central Asia between the British and Russian Empires.[1]

Afghanistan depends on Turkmenistan for meeting a large part of the country's electricity needs. At present, Afghanistan imports more than 320 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year from Turkmenistan.

Turkmenistan opened a major railway link to Afghanistan in 2016 to facilitate fuel exports.[2]
