Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen opened the nation's Turkmen embassy on Thursday, located just 16 miles from the Iranian border in the Central Asian nation's capital, Ashgabat.
Cohen, in the first visit by an Israeli top diplomat since 1994, met with Turkmen President Serdar Berdymukhamedov.
"Ties with Turkmenistan have great importance for security and diplomacy, and the visit will strengthen Israel’s place in the region," Cohen said on Twitter.
