The year 2025 &mdash; the International Year of Peace and Trust &mdash; has gone down in the new history of our Independent Motherland as one of the most glorious years, marked by profound meaning, large-scale transformations, and major initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of the people. In the final days of this auspicious year, the Turkmen people welcome the new year &mdash; 2026 &mdash; with great spiritual enthusiasm.

The coming year, 2026, according to the Eastern calendar, is the Year of the Steed. This designation has become a symbol of the lofty goals, cherished dreams, and aspirations of our people, closely associated with the Akhal-Teke horses &mdash; the nation&rsquo;s pride. The celebrations of the New Year, proclaimed under the motto &ldquo;Independent neutral Turkmenistan &minus; the homeland of purposeful winged horses&rdquo;, are further enriched by the achievements attained along the country&rsquo;s path of development.

In 2025, the state initiatives put forward by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero Arkadag, were successfully implemented under the leadership of Arkadagly Hero Serdar. Programs aimed at strengthening the country&rsquo;s economic potential and improving the living standards of the population yielded positive results across all sectors.

Among these achievements, major projects implemented in the fuel and energy sector hold a special place. The commissioning of a new port facility within the Turkmenbashi Oil Refining Complex, as well as the launch of construction works along the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat section of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India (TAPI) gas pipeline, clearly demonstrate the consistency and foresight of the country&rsquo;s energy policy.

During the days of widespread celebrations, the acquisition of new gas flows as a result of systematic work carried out within the relevant structures of the State Concern &ldquo;Turkmengaz&rdquo; showed that the sector has embarked on a path of balanced development. The industrial-scale production of natural gas from new production wells drilled at the Galkynysh gas field once again confirms the country&rsquo;s rich hydrocarbon resources.

In addition, the obtaining of new gas inflows at the Toparjulba gas field, located within the Central Karakum group of gas fields, was received as a labor gift in honor of the New Year. These successes clearly indicate that the sector is being developed on a scientific basis, with modern technologies and digital solutions being successfully introduced into production.

In 2025, the commissioning of major oil and gas infrastructure facilities expanded Turkmenistan&rsquo;s export potential and further strengthened energy cooperation in the region. The 30th International Conference and Exhibition &ldquo;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &mdash; 2025&rdquo; brought together representatives from dozens of countries, providing a broad platform for discussing key issues related to investment, innovation, and the energy transition.

The Turkmenbashi Oil Refining Complex concluded the International Year of Peace and Trust with high production indicators. During the reporting period, more than 4.506 million tons of oil were processed, with the plan fulfilled by 106.7 percent. Gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, polypropylene, liquefied gas, and other products were supplied to both domestic and foreign markets.

The year 2025 became another glorious chapter in the development path of Independent Turkmenistan. The achievements attained, projects implemented, and the high morale of the people create firm confidence that 2026 will be a year of new heights and new victories. May the New Year begin with new goals, new milestones, and dynamic, steed-like progress!
