Это партнерство является образцовым примером не только экономических интересов, но и взаимного уважения, равноправия и эффективного взаимодействия.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>В текущем году исполняется 30 лет сотрудничеству между Туркменистаном и компанией &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo;. Это партнерство, продолжающееся с 1996 года, имеет важное значение в освоении колоссальных углеводородных ресурсов в туркменском секторе Каспийского моря. Компания &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; вошла в историю как одна из первых крупных международных энергетических компаний, выразивших доверие к работе и инвестициям на побережье Каспия.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>На протяжении трех десятилетий проекты, реализованные &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo;, внесли весомый вклад в технологическое совершенствование нефтегазовой промышленности Туркменистана, создание новых рабочих мест и расширение экспортных возможностей. В частности, заслуги компании в подготовке высококвалифицированных национальных кадров являются доказательством того, что туркмено-малайзийские отношения активно развиваются и в гуманитарном направлении.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Недавний прием уважаемым Президентом Сердаром Бердымухамедовым малайзийской делегации, в том числе председателя Консультативного комитета по политическим вопросам при Премьер-министре Малайзии Тан Шри Мохд Хассана Марикана и руководителя группы компаний &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; Тан Шри Тенгку Мухаммада Тауфика, дал старт новому этапу этого стратегического партнерства.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>В начале встречи гости передали главе нашего государства теплые приветствия и наилучшие пожелания от Верховного правителя Малайзии Султана Ибрагима и Премьер-министра Анвара Ибрагима. Этот дипломатический шаг подтверждает высокий уровень политико-дипломатических отношений между двумя странами и взаимный интерес.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>В ходе встречи глава государства подчеркнул, что развитие отношений с Малайзией является одним из ключевых направлений внешней политики Туркменистана. В частности, позитивный опыт, накопленный с &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; в рамках торгово-экономического сотрудничества, служит прочным фундаментом для будущих проектов.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Эта встреча на высоком уровне охватила не только исторические результаты, но и конкретные перспективные программы. Как отмечалось в ходе переговоров, в рамках визита малайзийской делегации запланировано подписание Протокола о коммерческих условиях между Государственным концерном &laquo;Туркменнебит&raquo; и компанией &laquo;PETRONAS Carigali (Turkmenistan) Sdn. Bhd.&raquo;. Данный документ является показателем готовности обеих сторон углублять взаимовыгодное сотрудничество в новых экономических условиях.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Руководители компании особо отметили, что Туркменистан направляет свои богатые углеводородные ресурсы на благо всего человечества, и заверили, что и впредь будут привержены взятым на себя обязательствам. Это еще раз подтвердило долгосрочный и стабильный характер деятельности &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; в Туркменистане.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Глава государства выразил особую признательность компании &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; за работу по подготовке высококвалифицированных специалистов для нефтегазовой отрасли нашей страны. Туркменская молодежь, получающая образование в Малайзии при поддержке компании, сегодня формирует интеллектуальный потенциал энергетического сектора страны. Технологическое сотрудничество осуществляется не только путем поставки оборудования, но и через внедрение опыта мирового уровня и инновационных методов управления на производственных площадках Туркменистана.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Туркменистан подтвердил готовность рассматривать конкретные и инновационные предложения по всем взаимоинтересным направлениям. Сотрудничество с &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; имеет большие перспективы не только в области добычи углеводородов, но и в таких сферах, как соблюдение экологических норм, внедрение цифровых систем в производство и использование энергосберегающих технологий.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>В итоге эти продуктивные переговоры между уважаемым Президентом Сердаром Бердымухамедовым и представителями Малайзии продемонстрировали укрепление стратегического партнерства, служащего интересам дружественных народов двух стран. Опыт 30-летнего сотрудничества и новые подписываемые соглашения являются гарантией того, что Туркменистан и &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; будут вместе шагать к новым успехам еще на протяжении десятилетий.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>К слову, компания PETRONAS была создана в 1974 году, получив полномочия по управлению нефтяными и газовыми ресурсами Малайзии. В настоящее время компания превратилась в разветвленную международную корпорацию, охватывающую более 100 стран мира. Направления ее деятельности включают разведку и добычу углеводородов, нефтеперерабатывающую промышленность, нефтехимическое производство, торговлю, маркетинг и реализацию инновационных энергетических решений.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>В соответствии со своей целью достижения нулевого уровня выбросов углерода к 2050 году (NZCE 2050), компания реализует новые проекты в таких областях, как улавливание и хранение углерода (CCS), водородная энергетика и возобновляемые источники энергии.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Осуществив свои первые инвестиции в Туркменистане в 1996 году, &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; положила начало сотрудничеству во благо развития нефтегазового сектора страны. Эта компания стала первым иностранным оператором, инвестировавшим в морские месторождения Туркменистана. В мае 2025 года компания подписала новое 25-летнее Соглашение о разделе продукции, подтвердив продолжение своего сотрудничества до 2050 года.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Начальник Управления внедрения цифровых технологий и информационной безопасности Государственного концерна &laquo;Туркменнебит&raquo; &mdash; Ыклым Мырадов</strong></p>"},"tk":{"title":"Türkmenistan we «PETRONAS»: Üç onýyllygyň dowamyndaky strategik hyzmatdaşlyk","description":"<p>T&uuml;rkmenistanyň d&ouml;wlet sy&yacute;asatynyň ileri tutul&yacute;an ugurlarynyň biri bolan &yacute;angy&ccedil;-energetika toplumyny d&ouml;wrebaplaşdyrmak we milli ba&yacute;lyklarymyzy d&uuml;n&yacute;&auml; bazaryna durnukly &ccedil;ykarmak strategi&yacute;asynda Mala&yacute;zi&yacute;anyň &laquo;PETRONAS&raquo; kompani&yacute;asy bilen &yacute;ola go&yacute;lan gatnaşyklar a&yacute;ratyn orun tut&yacute;ar.
