As the report "The opening ceremony of the Belt and Road Eurasian Rule of Law Seminar was held in our school" and the report "Turkmenistan Held the Closing ceremony of training course for young diplomats" showed, Turkmenistan is grouped with Central Asian states and other countries in the Eurasia region within the training programs provided by PRC. While few training programs were directly solely for Turkmenistan, we rated 4 in this case because of dictatorial nature of the Turkmen government and PRC playing a role in strengthening it. Though it is observed by reviewer that few officials in Ashgabat seemed to know anything about these trainings that took place in China, so their effectiveness of influencing governance is questionable. However, sticking with 4 because Turkmens have few choices of foreign training, limited only to Russia and Turkey. The fact that Turkmens find themselves grouped with other Central Asian states also show PRC preference to create Central Asian regionalism.
