As the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted at the latest meeting of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Arkadag, a «smart» city unique in the country's history, serves as a symbol of a prosperous and happy life. The facilities being built as part of the second phase of the city will help maintain the well-being of citizens.Touching on the topic of the medical cluster, the Hero-Arkadag noted the importance of ensuring the high quality of manufactured products in improving the supply of the national healthcare system with necessary supplies and increasing the export potential of the economy.More than thirty years have passed since the adoption of the State Program «Saglyk». During this time, significant successes have been achieved in the national healthcare system and a number of diseases have been eliminated, as confirmed by the international certificates presented to Turkmenistan, said Doctor Arkadag. Such progressive dynamics serve as clear confirmation of the consistent strengthening of the material and technical base of medical institutions, the improvement of doctors' qualifications, and the high level of domestic healthcare.Continuing, the Hero-Arkadag stated that in recent years complex operations have been successfully performed in Turkmenistan.

In this regard, the need for proper preparation for large festive events, in particular the key-handover ceremony, was emphasized. Along with this, appropriate measures should be taken to improve the work of medical institutions, including disease diagnostics.In this regard, Doctor Arkadag recalled one of the main principles of the era of Independence, that prevention is better than cure, which fully reveals the essence of the motto «The health of the people is the wealth of the country». The Turkmen land is rich in natural resources that have great potential for use in healthcare. Studying them for subsequent use, including through modern practices and the capabilities of AI, is a guarantee of a happy life for future generations, said Doctor Arkadag.The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan also drew attention to expanding the garden areas and increasing the variety of fruit trees around the new city. A number of recommendations were given on this issue. The successful cultivation of fruit-bearing trees adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of this corner of the country, in particular the «Babarap apple tree» variety, is a visible result of the many years of work of local breeders.The mosque «Arkadagyň ruhy metjidi» will carry on creative traditions that go back centuries.Then the National Leader of the Turkmen people inspected the mosque «Arkadagyň ruhy metjidi», designed to accommodate 30,000 worshippers at one time, and the accompanying structures, as well as the doors installed in them, focusing on their quality.Placing emphasis on the selection of finishing materials with regard to the specifics of a religious building, the Hajy Arkadag stressed the importance of the same approach to the design of its exterior and interior and to its lighting system.The Hajy Arkadag also inspected the 1,500-seat sadaka hall.

All of this should enrich the spiritual world of the people who come here, encouraging them to adhere to good traditions: ritual meals will be organized here and good deeds performed, which will ensure the continuity of the principles long established among the Turkmen people. In this regard, it should be noted that respect for the past is a guarantee of a bright future.The Hajy Arkadag also visited the madrasah under construction here. After familiarizing himself with the state of affairs at the site, the Hajy Arkadag noted the need to create proper conditions for study in keeping with national principles.On October 6, the Day of Remembrance will be observed in Turkmenistan, and therefore it is appropriate to pay tribute to the memory of the departed and offer prayers for the well-being of the people and the country, said the Hajy Arkadag.The chief imam of the mosque «Arkadagyň ruhy metjidi» offered prayers for the repose of the souls of the departed. Prayers were also read for the prosperity of the country, the happy life of the people, and for the Hajy Arkadag and Arkadagly Hajy Serdar to be granted good health, long life, and success in their grand undertakings.Taking part in the noble work being carried out today in the new city is a great honor, and honoring the memory of the departed is a deed pleasing to God.

Bayram Velhanov, a lecturer at the Department of Industrial Ecology of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Ecology at the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University, is studying in a master's programme at the University of Tsukuba (Japan) and carrying out research in the field of hydrogen energy. His studies abroad are part of the «SDGs Global Leader» programme implemented by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The master's programme will run until 31 March 2029. Together with scientists and specialists of the University of Tsukuba, the lecturer will conduct scientific research on producing hydrogen energy from natural gas and on sustainable development systems. In addition, he will study Japan's accumulated experience in the fields of ecology, sustainable energy and clean technologies, and will take part in theoretical and practical classes in the relevant areas.For the purpose of joint research in the field of hydrogen energy and the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable energy technologies, on 7 April of this year the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University was assigned to carry out the tasks arising from the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan and the University of Tsukuba, one of Japan's leading higher education institutions, on cooperation in joint scientific research on hydrogen energy. The faculty of the higher education institution is successfully carrying out this work.In accordance with the Action Plan of the «Roadmap for the Development of International Cooperation of Turkmenistan in the Field of Hydrogen Energy for 2022–2023», approved by a Resolution of the President of Turkmenistan, a Hydrogen Energy Center was established at the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University. Its work plan, agreed with the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan and approved, has been successfully fulfilled.During research at the Hydrogen Energy Center on producing hydrogen fuel from water by electrolysis, green hydrogen fuel was successfully obtained. For the first time, the Center's specialists created a laboratory stand for producing hydrogen fuel from natural gas using an innovative plasma-chemical method. The hydrogen fuel obtained by this method was analyzed on an Agilent Technologies 6890 gas chromatograph. The analysis showed that pure hydrogen and carbon black were obtained from natural gas, which, as noted, fully proves that the method can be classed among innovative zero-emission technologies.

During the first session of the Turkmenistan Investment Forum (TIF 2026), dedicated to energy sustainability and the development of the chemical and oil and gas industries, major investment opportunities for the development of hydrocarbon resources in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea were presented. Batyr Jumayev, Deputy Chairman of the State Concern "Turkmennebit," elaborated on this during his speech, as <a href="https://orient.tm/en/posts/105286">reported</a> by the news portal "Orient."In accordance with the Concept for the Development of the National Oil and Gas Sector, the country's offshore shelf has been divided into more than 30 licensing blocks available to foreign investors. The Law of Turkmenistan "On Hydrocarbon Resources" provides legal protection and guarantees a preferential fiscal regime for investors.Currently, foreign partners are offered a transparent and simplified tax system. Investors only pay income tax and relevant royalties for the right to use subsoil resources. They are fully exempt from other duties, customs fees, and the requirement to register contracts for equipment imports on the commodity exchange.Furthermore, under current legislation, investors have the right to freely dispose of their share of extracted hydrocarbons and process them at the country's oil refineries without obtaining additional licenses. Submitting an official application to SC "Turkmennebit" opens direct, non-exclusive negotiations that can lead to Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs), concession arrangements, risk service contracts, or joint venture agreements.At present, major international companies such as Dragon Oil, PETRONAS, and ADNOC are successfully operating on the Turkmen shelf of the Caspian Sea under PSAs. A vivid example of this partnership is the agreement signed in June 2026 between SC "Turkmennebit," Petronas Charigali (Turkmenistan) Sdn. Bhd., and the State Enterprise "Hazarnebit" for contractual territories "Block 19" and "Block 20."The launch of 2D seismic survey operations in blocks 11, 12, 13, and 14, alongside the signing of new agreements, has elevated offshore geological exploration capabilities to a new level. These advancements once again demonstrate the high effectiveness of Turkmenistan's "open doors" policy.

The Group of Seven (G7) countries, in coordination with the International Energy Agency (IEA), have made a major decision to release 100 million barrels of oil and petroleum products from their strategic reserves into the global market over the next four months. This was announced in an official joint statement by the group's leaders.Under the adopted plan, primary focus will be placed on promptly addressing the diesel fuel shortage in the market. A significant portion of the designated fuel volume will be brought to market within the first 20 days.To prevent a sudden surge in energy prices, the participating nations also put forward several additional measures. Aiming to maintain global market stability, the parties agreed to coordinate maintenance schedules for oil refineries among themselves and to refrain from imposing any restrictions on energy trade.The acceleration of this multilateral decision was notably influenced by urgent measures from Washington. According to reports from the Reuters news agency, the U.S. demanded that France and Germany swiftly utilize their emergency reserves to bring down diesel prices. Furthermore, the U.S. warned that failure to comply with this demand would result in a ban on fuel exports to those countries.
