Turkmen Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov met with newly appointed Tajik Ambassador Vafo Niyatbekzoda, who presented copies of his credentials.
The diplomats discussed prospects for bilateral cooperation in a wide range of areas.
"The progressive development of trade and economic cooperation between the countries in recent years was noted with satisfaction."
Niyatbekzoda has in recent years served as Tajikistan's special envoy for Afghanistan and head of strategic studies at the country's Foreign Ministry.
Ashgabat is linked to Dushanbe on several major economic projects.
Turkmenistan hopes to reach markets in China and from there the Asia-Pacific region through the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan (TAT) railway.
There are also plans to use Tajikistan's territory to build an additional fourth branch of a transnational gas pipeline from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to China.
