Strategy and Policy Dialogue.
An economic report and ADB’s IOS were approved in June 2002. The
three strategic objectives of the IOS were enhancing human and social
development, supporting sustainable and stable economic growth,
and promoting regional economic cooperation. Lending operations
will commence if preconditions are met for each investment project,
including government commitment to undertake reforms to realize
the full benefits of the investment. No policy dialogue has taken
place since finalization of the economic report and the IOS in 2002.
More than 20 government officials attended seminars and workshops
organized by ADB, including the Central Asian regional partnership
building forum on confronting land degradation and the regional
capacity building seminar on customs cooperation. High-ranking government
officials from Turkmenistan participated in meetings of the Steering
Committee on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan- Pakistan natural gas
pipeline project, for which ADB financed a feasibility study.

Loans and Technical Assistance. No loans or technical
assistance projects were approved in 2003.
