Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has paid a historic visit to Turkmenistan, APA reports.
Cohen made history by being the first Israeli minister to travel to Turkmenistan in 29 years.
"I came to open an Israeli embassy 17 km from the border with Iran, and to hold a series of meetings with the president and other officials. The relationship with Turkmenistan is of great security and political importance, and this visit will strengthen the position of the State of Israel in the region," Cohen said.
