The visit of a National Leader of the Turkmen people, a Chairman of a Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation has concluded.

On May 14, a Hero-Arkadag, as part of his visit to the Republic of Tatarstan, attended an International Equestrian Complex &laquo;Kazan&raquo; and participated in the forum of an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation marking the declaration of Kazan as a Cultural Capital of the Islamic World.

At the Equestrian Complex, the National Leader of the Turkmen people was warmly welcomed by a Deputy Prime Minister, a Minister of Agriculture and Food, and a Chairman of the Federation of Horse Breeding and Equestrian Sport of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov, as well as a Director of the International Equestrian Complex.

There, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and a Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov familiarised themselves with an exhibition of Tatarstan&#39;s agricultural products, organised on the grounds of the complex.

The exhibition featured various types of food products. Specialists introduced Hero-Arkadag to the highlights of the exposition.

The National Leader of the Turkmen people and the Ra&iuml;s of the Republic of Tatarstan also took interest in artworks dedicated to horses. A special place in this section of the exhibition was given to the Hero-Arkadag&#39;s book &laquo;Atda wepa-da bar, sapa-da&raquo; (&laquo;A Horse &ndash; A Symbol of loyalty and happiness&raquo;), published in Russian.

Specialists then introduced the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan to the features of the International Equestrian Complex &laquo;Kazan&raquo; and the facilities available there.

The Hero-Arkadag and the Ra&iuml;s of the Republic of Tatarstan then watched horse races, in which Turkmen riders also took part.

In the races held at the International Equestrian Complex &laquo;Kazan&raquo;, master jockey B. Agamyradov secured a convincing victory. His success inspired the Turkmen representatives throughout the tournament and served as further confirmation of devotion to the ancient national traditions of horse breeding, renowned throughout the world.

The Turkmen riders competing in the races rode horses of the Tatar breed. Competing in a spirited atmosphere, the athletes demonstrated their skill and, as the National Leader of the Turkmen people noted, strength of spirit, earning prize-winning places.

Prizes dedicated to Akhal-Teke horses were established at the races and awarded to Turkmen jockeys.

In another horse race over a distance of 1,800 metres, riders from Turkmenistan demonstrated their professionalism. B. Berdimuhammed crossed the finish line first in this competition.

An award ceremony followed. The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov presented cups to the winning Turkmen jockeys and congratulated them on their success.

The compatriots expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar for the broad opportunities created for the development of national horse breeding and for enabling them to showcase their abilities and skills, pledging to make every effort to further enhance the prestige of the Homeland.

At the jockeys&#39; request, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan and the Ra&iuml;s of the Republic of Tatarstan posed for a commemorative photograph with them.

The Hero-Arkadag then participated in the forum of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation marking the declaration of Kazan as the Cultural Capital of the Islamic World.

Addressing the forum, the National Leader of the Turkmen people warmly thanked the Ra&iuml;s of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnikhanov and the Russian side for the invitation to participate in the international events of &laquo;KazanForum 2026&raquo;, for the warm hospitality extended, and for the excellent conditions created for productive work.

As was noted, &laquo;KazanForum&raquo;, which has gained international recognition, annually brings together high-level delegations from various countries and international organisations, creating an atmosphere and conditions for developing cooperation across the widest range of areas.

This year, as in previous years, a number of important events aimed at strengthening international economic relations and deepening cultural and humanitarian ties are being held in the capital of Tatarstan, said the Hero-Arkadag, specifically highlighting the 15th Session of a General Conference of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO).

&quot;We view this meeting as a good opportunity to intensify multilateral dialogue in the cultural and humanitarian sphere, seeing it as an important factor in ensuring sustainable development, strengthening mutual understanding between peoples, and promoting a culture of peace,&quot; continued the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan.

In the current context of global transformation, the preservation of cultural diversity on the basis of identity and traditional values is of immense importance. In this regard, the work of international organisations and their role in consolidating the efforts of states in the social sphere takes on particular significance.

In this context, it was emphasised that Turkmenistan highly values the work of ICESCO as an authoritative international organisation tasked with promoting broad and effective humanitarian partnership, preserving and enriching the great civilisational foundations of Islam and its humanistic values, and supporting and advancing achievements in science, education, and culture.

It was noted that active efforts to develop the intellectual potential of youth and to connect young people with the rich historical and cultural heritage of the world&#39;s nations are of the highest importance today.

Turkmenistan&#39;s foreign policy is grounded in the principles of positive permanent neutrality, the legal status of which has been confirmed three times by relevant resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, providing a reliable basis for consistently advancing policies of peace, good-neighbourliness, and broad international cooperation, said the Hero-Arkadag.

The neutral status also serves as a key factor in implementing Turkmenistan&#39;s integrated and long-term cultural and humanitarian strategy. Turkmenistan has joined the main international conventions and treaties of a humanitarian nature and, together with the Community of Nations, is working to implement them at the national and global levels.

In this context, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan continued, it should be emphasised that in close cooperation with UNESCO, large-scale efforts have been carried out in the country for many years to protect and preserve the historical, cultural, and natural heritage of the Turkmen people. As a result, more than 1,500 historical and cultural monuments are currently registered on the territory of Turkmenistan.

Of particular significance is the inclusion of the historical sites of Ancient Merv, Kunya-Urgench, and the Parthian Fortresses of Nisa in the UNESCO World Heritage List as outstanding monuments of world civilisation.

Special attention is also paid in the country to the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. A number of nominations &mdash; including &laquo;Turkmen National Art of Carpet Weaving&raquo;, &laquo;A craft of dutar making and an art of performing and singing bagshi&raquo;, &laquo;An Art of Akhal-Teke Horse Breeding and traditions of adorning horses&raquo;, and &laquo;An art of Breeding a Turkmen alaba&yacute;&raquo; &mdash; have been included in the relevant UNESCO lists, said the Hero-Arkadag. In this regard, it was noted that Turkmenistan is today actively promoting a cultural agenda in its foreign policy and working to prepare and implement new initiatives aimed at addressing current issues in the fields of education, science, art, and culture.

&quot;We believe that the positive experience of our joint work within already established projects, which have proven to be effective forms of multilateral cooperation, serves as a solid foundation for building cooperation potential,&quot; stressed the National Leader of the Turkmen people.

Among these, the Hero-Arkadag singled out the &laquo;Cultural Capital of the Islamic World&raquo; project, the implementation of which gives each of the participating countries the opportunity to showcase centuries-old cultural achievements, customs, traditions, and the spiritual and cultural values of their peoples. Taking the opportunity, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan warmly congratulated the leadership of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation on Kazan being awarded the status of &laquo;Cultural Capital of the Islamic World 2026&raquo;.

As the Hero-Arkadag emphasised, Turkmenistan holds the work of ICESCO in high regard and views the development of cooperation with the Organisation as an important direction of its international humanitarian policy. In this context, Turkmenistan confirmed its interest in expanding interaction with ICESCO, participating in the Organisation&#39;s relevant initiatives, and developing practical cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

&quot;Of particular importance to us is the fact that in March 2026, Turkmenistan submitted an official letter on the matter of granting our country observer status in ICESCO,&quot; stressed the National Leader of the Turkmen people. Joining this important international body is seen as a significant step in the development of Turkmenistan&#39;s international engagement in the fields of education, science, and culture. In this regard, the Hero-Arkadag expressed confidence that this would create a new additional platform for Turkmenistan&#39;s systematic and multi-format participation in the Organisation&#39;s programmes, the exchange of best practices, and the further strengthening of ties with the Organisation&#39;s member states.

In this context, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan put forward a number of specific proposals designed to provide constructive impetus and direction for further joint work.

Speaking about historical heritage, the Hero-Arkadag stressed that Turkmenistan proposes to begin developing a long-term ICESCO Strategy for the Preservation and Enrichment of the Cultural and Historical Heritage of Islamic Countries. In this regard, it was noted that it would be advisable to focus not only on study and research, but also on the active promotion of Islamic cultural heritage through the creation of literary and journalistic works, cinematic productions, virtual museums, galleries, and other widely accessible online platforms.

Affirming the importance of education and enlightenment, the National Leader of the Turkmen people announced that Turkmenistan is putting forward the initiative to launch a large-scale programme entitled &laquo;Islamic Poetic Dialogue: Wisdom and the Connection of the Ages&raquo;.

The goal of the project is to provide broad and systematic public exposure &mdash; in our countries and around the world &mdash; to the finest works of the Islamic poetic and philosophical heritage, from antiquity to the present day. The defining historical characteristic of Islamic philosophical thought is its lyrical and poetic expression, said the Hero-Arkadag. As a first step, it was proposed to consider creating a &laquo;World Anthology of Islamic Poetry&raquo;, which would include works by outstanding poets, thinkers, and philosophers of the Muslim world, as well as those authors who feel a connection to Islam, to the Islamic cultural code and worldview.

Continuing his address, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan noted that Turkmenistan is putting forward the initiative of &laquo;Smart City Diplomacy of the Islamic World&raquo;. The rationale is that the development of smart cities as an area of state policy is actively progressing in a number of our countries, including Turkmenistan.

&quot;Today, the concept of a &laquo;smart city&raquo; is a fusion of intellect, creativity, architecture, culture, science, technology, aesthetics, and social knowledge &mdash; precisely those concepts that form the basis of cooperation within ICESCO. And here we believe it is fitting, at this Organisation&#39;s session specifically, to establish, through Smart City Diplomacy, partnership and professional mechanisms for the exchange of experience, knowledge, developments, and plans between Islamic countries in this promising area of development,&quot; said Hero-Arkadag, expressing confidence that the proposals and ideas put forward would be given careful consideration.

Reaffirming Turkmenistan&#39;s commitment to the principles of peace and creativity, cultural diversity and sustainable development, the National Leader of the Turkmen people expressed the conviction that education, science, and culture are universal values capable of uniting states and peoples.

&quot;Turkmenistan is ready to continue contributing to the development of inter-civilisational dialogue, strengthening trust and mutual understanding, and to actively participate in advancing humanistic ideals and values in interstate relations,&quot; declared Hero-Arkadag, expressing confidence that the outcomes of the 15th Session of the ICESCO General Conference would contribute to achieving these goals.

Noting the significance of the proposals put forward by the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, the forum participants expressed full support for them.

At the 15th Session of the ICESCO General Conference, which opened in Kazan on May 13, Turkmenistan was granted observer status in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation for Education, Science and Culture.

It should be particularly noted that in the address of the Organisation&#39;s Director-General Salim Al-Malik, it was stated that consideration is already being given to declaring Turkmenistan&#39;s capital &mdash; Ashgabat &mdash; the Cultural Capital of the Islamic World Countries in 2028, and that relevant work in this direction has commenced.

Upon completion of the visit programme in the Republic of Tatarstan, the National Leader of the Turkmen people and the Ra&iuml;s of the Republic of Tatarstan travelled together to Kazan&#39;s Gabdulla Tuqay International Airport.

The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov once again expressed his gratitude to the head of Tatarstan for the hospitality shown and, having bid him farewell, departed for home.

Several hours later, the National Leader of the Turkmen people&#39;s airliner landed at the International Airport of the capital. Official representatives of Turkmenistan were on hand to welcome the Hero-Arkadag.

Thus, the visit of the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Tatarstan confirmed that strengthening relations with the regions of the Russian Federation is among the key vectors of Turkmenistan&#39;s foreign policy, and opened new opportunities for expanding economic and cultural dialogue.

As part of the &laquo;KazanForum 2026&raquo;, an exhibition &laquo;Russia &ndash; Islamic World: Cooperation EXPO&raquo; is being held in Kazan, in which Turkmenistan is also participating with a national pavilion.

The exposition of our country offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the achievements made in various economic sectors as well as in the private sector. In particular, products of the oil and gas complex, chemical industry, food and textile industries, and construction materials are on display. The national pavilion also highlights achievements in areas such as transport and communications, healthcare, and tourism.

The electronics industry is steadily developing in the country. The achievements of this sector are prominently showcased at the exhibition through a variety of electronic equipment.

Also on display are traditional works of national art, which form an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Turkmen people. These include the celebrated Turkmen carpets created by talented weavers and magnificent jewellery crafted by skilled artisans, which are rightfully regarded as works of art and are world-renowned for their beauty and craftsmanship.

A special place in the exposition is occupied by the multi-volume scientific and encyclopaedic work of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, &laquo;Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan&raquo;. Translated into various languages of the world, this work has been recognised internationally as a guide of immense importance for practitioners.

Exhibition participants gave high marks to the organisational standard of Turkmenistan&#39;s pavilion. This major showcase demonstrates the country&#39;s achievements and opens broad opportunities for establishing effective relations with all interested foreign partners.

At the &laquo;Fashion of National Costumes of Women of the Muslim World&raquo; festival, held as part of &laquo;KazanForum&raquo;, the national dress of Turkmenistan was presented. The distinctive features of Turkmen national costumes and their variety left a lasting impression on all those in attendance.

The participation of Turkmen fashion designers in this prestigious festival held in Kazan provided an opportunity to showcase the harmonious combination of national traditions and customs, a rich cultural heritage, and contemporary fashion trends.

The ceremony was attended by members of a delegation led by Ding Xuexiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and First Vice Premier of the State Council of the People&#39;s Republic of China. This ceremony holds special significance as it coincided with the glorious 20th anniversary of the establishment of strategic cooperation in the gas sector between Turkmenistan and the People&#39;s Republic of China. This opens new horizons in mastering advanced experiences in the oil and gas industry.

The &quot;Lu Ban Workshop&quot; opened in Turkmenistan is becoming a training and production center that will be of great importance in training high-level, sophisticated specialists in relevant fields. The workshop will train high-level young specialists for the oil and gas and other sectoral management bodies in the bachelor&#39;s degree programs &quot;Geology and Prospecting of Mineral Resources&quot; and &quot;Information Systems and Technologies (in the oil and gas industry).&quot; Professional development courses for professors, teachers, and Chinese specialists working in Turkmenistan will also be held.

To implement these tasks, 2 laboratory rooms for geology, 4 information technology rooms, as well as a server room, small meeting rooms, and teachers&#39; rooms have been provided in the &quot;Lu Ban Workshop.&quot;

Currently, the &quot;Lu Ban Workshop,&quot; operating in more than 30 countries, including the UK, Portugal, Pakistan, Egypt, and Central Asian countries, was established and put into operation in our country according to a document signed with the participation of the Yagshygeldi Kaka&yacute;ew International Oil and Gas University, Xi&#39;an Shiyou University, Hebei Petroleum University of Technology, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and the China Education Association for International Exchange. Cooperation was established in training academic and other specialists in areas such as geology, exploration of mineral resource deposits, information systems, and technologies. It is also planned to organize events for exchanging information and conducting scientific research with teachers and students. This project is aimed at training specialists necessary for our country&#39;s economy by strengthening science and education ties between Turkmenistan and China.

This workshop is named after Lu Ban, a historically famous inventor and craftsman in China, who is regarded by the Chinese people as a symbol of craftsmanship, innovative transformation, and diligence. The Chinese state vocational education program is named in his honor. This program is aimed at training specialized personnel worldwide. The initiative of the project was founded by the Chinese government and is a model of international cooperation in the field of vocational education. It makes Chinese standards and technologies accessible to partner countries, creating an environment for interaction between universities, technical vocational schools, and sectoral enterprises.

The first &quot;Lu Ban Workshop&quot; in Central Asia opened in November 2022 in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, with the participation of the Tajik Technical University and the Tianjin Vocational Institute of Municipal Management. By May 2025, the workshop provided education to more than 1,500 bachelors and masters. The workshop is equipped with 377 pieces of equipment and an online classroom. The training is aimed at teaching engineering calculations, cartography, and efficient energy technologies. It helps Tajik students increase their experience by visiting Tianjin.

Three &quot;Lu Ban Workshops&quot; operate in Kazakhstan. The first workshop was opened in 2024 by the Tianjin Vocational Institute and the East Kazakhstan Technical University. The training cycle is based on teaching transport engineering. For this workshop, curricula for special training lessons on the theory of electric vehicle operation, electric transport equipment, automotive engines, driver assistance systems, and the assembly of unmanned vehicles were developed. More than 400 specialists have already been trained here. The second and third workshops were opened in Astana and Almaty, respectively, in 2025. Their work is aimed at training specialists in the field of artificial intelligence and information technologies. Lessons on applied programming, machine learning, and cybersecurity are held here.

In Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, the Lu Ban Workshop began operating on September 7, 2024. The project is being implemented in cooperation with the Tashkent State Transport University with the support of the Tianjin government.

In 2025, a workshop consisting of 14 specialized laboratories was opened at the Kyrgyz State Technical University in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. Its specialized areas are based on hydraulic engineering, robotics, production automation, energy, and mechanical engineering.

Through the &quot;Lu Ban Workshops,&quot; China offers not only training but also an institutionalized model of cooperation that includes academic and technological exchange and cultural communication. The workshops in Central Asia are created based on the specific national priorities of each state&mdash;from transport logistics to energy and digital technologies. Modern knowledge and experience are taught to students and specialists of Central Asia in the workshops. This has a positive impact on the development of the local economy and the further strengthening of cooperation relations between China and the countries of Central Asia.
