TAPI presents an opportunity for regional cooperation at an unprecedented scale linking the economies of the 4 countries together.
The Central Asia Regional Cooperation's (CAREC) Strategy for Regional Cooperation in the Energy Sector identifies TAPI as one of the links in the inter-energy relationship among CAREC countries. Aims of TAPI are strategically aligned with CAREC's objectives of ensuring (i) energy security through balanced development of regional infrastructure and institutions, (ii) stronger integration of markets, and (iii) economic growth through enhanced energy trading.
TAPI is a high priority flagship project in the energy sector under CAREC 2020.
For India, the South Asia's Regional Cooperation Strategy and Programs (SA RCSP) of 2011-2015 also focuses in the energy sector as a priority area.
