On August 7th, the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, who is on working leave, took an early-morning bicycle ride along the shore of the Caspian.During the bicycle ride, the Arkadagly Hero Serdar admired the beauty of the National Tourist Zone «Awaza», whose appearance has changed beyond recognition in recent years. As a result of the consistent efforts of the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov to implement a large-scale project for the creation and development of a world-class seaside resort, the National Tourist Zone «Awaza» has also become a center for holding international conferences, forums and other events, including sporting ones.The good tradition established by the Hero-Arkadag of regularly organizing mass bicycle races in Turkmenistan has received the universal support of compatriots, who take part with great enthusiasm in sports and environmental campaigns. This contributes to strengthening people's health and, at the same time, to instilling in young people a sense of careful attitude toward nature. An important aspect is also that mass physical culture and sporting events contribute to strengthening the health of the people.As is known, every year on June 3rd the international community widely celebrates World Bicycle Day, established at the initiative of Turkmenistan by the corresponding Resolution of the UN General Assembly. This clearly demonstrates the recognition on the world stage of the noble initiatives of the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan. In Turkmenistan, priority importance is given to stimulating the physical culture, wellness and sports movement, and to ensuring ecological well-being as a key factor of sustainable development both at the national and global levels.A vivid confirmation of this is the comprehensive work being carried out in the National Tourist Zone «Awaza». In this regard, unwavering attention is paid to maintaining cleanliness and a favorable ecological situation throughout the entire territory of the National Tourist Zone «Awaza», which in turn strengthens its status as an international center of tourism and health resort recreation.During the bicycle ride, the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov admired the picturesque expanses of the Caspian. The light sea breeze, the seagulls soaring over the water, and the clean, healing air create a special atmosphere that has a beneficial effect on people.The man-made forest belts and parks formed on the territory of the National Tourist Zone «Awaza» form a unified harmony with the beautiful buildings that have become the main adornment of the Caspian coast. As a result of the annual mass planting of tree saplings, the areas of green plantations here are expanding.

Optimal conditions for excellent recreation are provided here. This is also yet another confirmation of the social orientation of the state policy pursued by the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, the goal of which is the prosperity of the beloved Motherland and ensuring a happy life for the people.In the modern era, here, as throughout Turkmenistan, great importance is attached to the development of the physical culture and wellness movement. As the doctor Arkadag emphasizes, movement, taking walks and active leisure in general are among the essential conditions for strengthening human health. A special role in this belongs to the most environmentally clean form of transport – the bicycle, which enjoys great popularity.Bicycle rides, being very beneficial for health, also make it possible to contemplate the beauty of the surrounding environment. Active outdoor recreation, especially in the morning hours, lifts the mood and adds strength. In this regard, it is notable that in recent years the number of cycling enthusiasts in Turkmenistan has been increasing. This is a visible result of the efforts undertaken at the state level to develop this sport.The comfortable tourist and resort zone created on the shore of the Caspian, whose infrastructure includes magnificent sanatoriums, hotels with medical and rehabilitation departments, children's health centers, and cottage complexes intended for family recreation, offers Turkmen citizens and guests of the country high-quality service year-round. Multipurpose sports complexes and grounds combine all the conditions for conducting training sessions and organizing international competitions, which also raises the status of the National Tourist Zone «Awaza» as an international sports center.This reflects the successful steps being taken under the leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov aimed at strengthening human health, increasing life expectancy, and enhancing people's activity levels.&nbsp;

The oil and gas industry is considered one of the most critical and stability-ensuring sectors of Turkmenistan's national economy. Year after year, drilling and extraction of crude oil based on modern technologies, discovery of promising new oil fields, and efforts to increase hydrocarbon production volumes continue at a rapid pace. Along with this, the state supports and consistently expands activities aimed at industrial processing of raw materials to manufacture high-value-added products and regularly export them to global markets.During the years of independence, vast opportunities have been created in the country not only for raw material extraction but also for high-quality processing and a substantial increase in export capacities. Currently, at the Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries (TCOR) and the Seydi Oil Refinery, hydrocarbon raw materials are processed into finished products—such as high-quality fuels, various types of lubricating oils, and other domestic and industrial products—and regularly dispatched to domestic and international markets. Among the primary products meeting global standards derived from oil are eco-friendly gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil (mazut), and road bitumen. The main export destinations for crude oil and refined products include the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Turkey, the Republic of Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Afghanistan, and other nations. Furthermore, transport services to promptly deliver oil and petroleum products to global consumers are being systematically expanded through the modern logistical capabilities of the Turkmenbashi International Seaport.During the expanded meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on July 10, 2026, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov announced with great satisfaction that the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate reached 6.3 percent during the reporting period. It was noted that within the framework of this stable growth, special attention is being paid to increasing the country's export potential and widely integrating digital technologies into production sectors.At the meeting, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Guvanch Agajanov delivered a detailed report on the concrete results achieved in the oil and gas sector from January to June 2026. The State Concern "Turkmennebit" fulfilled its oil production plan by 108.3 percent. Additionally, the oil refineries under the concern's jurisdiction met their oil production and refining plans by 104.1 percent.In his report, Guvanch Agajanov also announced specific figures for petroleum product output. According to him, during the reporting period, the gasoline production plan was met by 116%, diesel fuel by 111.4%, polypropylene by 100%, high-quality lubricating oils by 119.4%, and liquefied gas by 118.5%. Meanwhile, the natural and associated gas production plan was achieved at 107.6%.Dovletgeldi Amanmuhammedov, Chairman of the State Committee on Statistics, disclosed the exact physical production volumes achieved by the country's ministries and sectoral departments during the first six months of the year at the government meeting. According to the precise statistical data of the State Committee's head, sustainable growth was ensured in the country's industrial sector based on the results of January–June 2026, with 39 billion 147.2 million cubic meters of natural gas and 4 million 129.8 thousand tons of oil extracted during the reporting period.Dovletgeldi Amanmuhammedov also provided comparative figures against the same period of the previous year. He stated that the indicators for January–June 2026, compared to the corresponding period of 2025, showed a high rate of growth: diesel fuel production increased by 0.7%, lubricating oils by 7.2%, road and industrial bitumen by 39.9%, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by 64.5%.During the meeting, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov assigned specific tasks to the leaders of the oil and gas complex and reiterated that developing the country's energy sector—particularly diversifying natural gas supplies to world markets—remains one of the most vital tasks of state policy. The Head of State emphasized the necessity of maintaining a strong momentum in oil and gas extraction, processing them to commercial standards, marketing them on favorable terms in foreign markets, and systematically and effectively developing the "Galkynysh" gas field, one of the largest gas fields in the world. The President gave concrete instructions on modernizing sectoral enterprises, consistently increasing production capacity, intensifying geological exploration, enhancing the efficiency of identifying new hydrocarbon deposits, and manufacturing environmentally friendly products.In the current era of profound energy and environmental transitions in the global energy sector, interregional cooperation serves as the primary guarantee for ensuring energy security, driving sustainable economic growth, and encouraging long-term investments. In the Eurasian space, partner states and leading global energy companies are paying special attention to strengthening strategic partnerships and jointly implementing interregional pipeline and logistics infrastructure projects. This helps sustain the economic stability of not only individual national economies but also the entire Eurasian region.As a state possessing some of the world's largest proven natural gas reserves and recognized internationally as a reliable energy partner, Turkmenistan consistently implements its visionary policy aimed at developing interregional and international cooperation. This stable policy, grounded in the principles of mutual benefit and equality, provides an impetus for expanding economic dialogue with neighboring states and foreign partners, maintaining energy stability, and shaping a new architecture for global energy security.Currently, the Caspian region serves as one of the most active and dynamically developing hubs of international energy cooperation. Rich hydrocarbon resources, the development of stable transport and communication corridors, and the growth of international investments are elevating cooperation among Caspian states to a new strategic level. In this context, Turkmenistan continues to put forward international initiatives focused on strengthening interregional dialogue, developing innovative technological cooperation, and forming modern port and pipeline infrastructures.In the development of interregional economic relations, the construction of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) gas pipeline—one of the largest transnational projects connecting Central and South Asia in terms of energy—holds special significance. This colossal project not only resolves energy issues in the region but also serves as a powerful foundation for creating new jobs, ensuring social stability, strengthening peace, and elevating cross-border economic cooperation to a new level.Technological innovations and digital transformation are becoming an inseparable part of the modern energy sector. The wide integration of digital systems and artificial intelligence, a significant reduction in harmful emissions (particularly methane), environmental protection, and improving production cost-efficiency represent the most modern directions of international cooperation. Turkmenistan, in turn, attaches great importance to implementing advanced green technologies and digital management methods in its energy industry.International financial institutions, technology providers, engineering companies, and major service organizations view a stable and transparent investment climate as a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable development. Turkmenistan's state policy, focused on the systematic development of international economic cooperation, combined with its rich natural resources and highly favorable geographical location, guarantees excellent conditions for attracting foreign investments into major projects aimed at developing hydrocarbon resources, expanding the gas processing and gas-chemical industries, and modernizing energy infrastructure.For international investors, strengthening interregional cooperation translates into reduced investment risks, secured access to new markets, enhanced transport and logistics efficiency, and the stable implementation of long-term projects. Consequently, high-level international forums serve as the most effective platform for exchanging experience, discussing new projects, and establishing long-term strategic partnerships among government agencies, national and foreign oil and gas companies, international energy corporations, investors, and leading technology companies.Tawus BazarowaChief Specialist of the Contract Department of the Foreign Economic Relations Directorate of the "Turkmennebit" State Concern

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Romania has initiated a proposal to resume the AGRI project, which would open a direct route for Turkmen gas to the European market. This was announced by the President of the Romanian CCI, Mihai Daraban, during a meeting with the Ambassador of Turkmenistan, Annamammet Annayev.During the talks, the parties discussed prospects for energy cooperation and interaction between the ports of Constanța and Turkmenbashi. According to Daraban, Turkmenistan already possesses a pipeline reaching the Caspian Sea, creating a technical foundation for the project's implementation. As the head of the Romanian CCI noted in a comment to «Capital» publication, the port of Constanța could serve as the entry point for Turkmen gas into Europe via the transport infrastructure of Azerbaijan and Georgia, with subsequent connection to the BRUA pipeline (Bulgaria–Romania–Hungary–Austria).Daraban emphasized that implementing the project requires forming a business core capable of uniting energy sector companies from both countries, noting that energy remains one of the most relevant areas of cooperation in the current European context.In turn, Turkmen Ambassador Annamammet Annayev reported that the country's GDP grew by 6.3% in the first half of 2026, and that Turkmenistan holds the world's fourth-largest proven natural gas reserves. According to the ambassador, cooperation between the ports of Turkmenbashi and Constanța, as well as the creation of a zonal distribution center for Turkmen goods in Constanța, could serve as a strategic pillar for economic relations between the two nations.The AGRI (Azerbaijan–Georgia–Romania Interconnector) project was developed in the early 2010s and envisaged the delivery of natural gas via pipelines from Azerbaijan to Georgia, followed by liquefaction on the Black Sea coast and tanker transportation to Constanța. There, the fuel was to be regasified and fed into Romania's gas transmission network, and subsequently onward to Hungary and other European countries.&nbsp;Source: Embassy of Turkmenistan in Romania

Turkmenistan is carrying out extensive work on natural gas preparation, purification, and processing, applying modern technologies that reduce the environmental impact. Special attention is being paid to developing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas fields, which allows for the extraction of valuable chemical raw materials without harming the atmosphere.The country has established production of export-grade commercial gas purified from organic and inorganic impurities, which is of major importance for transporting «blue fuel» via pipeline. As a result of gas processing, the main product obtained is commercial gas, along with a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons and sulfur.The comprehensive processing of enriched natural gases and associated petroleum gases is of particular interest, as their components serve as raw materials for the production of polymer products, synthetic fibers, surfactants, and synthetic detergents.Hydrogen sulfide gas deposits are typically located at depths of 3–5 kilometers, where reservoir pressure and temperature are significantly elevated. Despite their complex composition, such deposits are of great importance for the country's energy sector and industry.An example is the «Galkynyş» gas field, where enormous plants have been built capable of processing tens of billions of cubic meters of gas annually. At these facilities, toxic hydrogen sulfide is not released into the atmosphere but is instead chemically processed: the gas is neutralized, and pure sulfur is extracted, preventing air pollution from sulfur compounds.Highly sensitive automatic sensors and monitoring systems capable of promptly detecting gas leaks have been installed around the fields and plants.Thus, the development of hydrogen sulfide gas deposits in Turkmenistan is being carried out using modern high technologies, closed production systems, and strict environmental controls, without causing harm to the environment.&nbsp;Source: «Nebit-gaz» newspaper
