On October 21, the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, inspected the projects of new buildings under construction and planned for implementation, as well as preparations for a nationwide greening campaign, in the city of Arkadag.

Hero-Arkadag first headed to the site of the nationwide greening campaign in the new city. The National Leader of the Turkmen People emphasized the importance of ensuring active participation in the greening campaign, which is traditionally held annually and is crucial for improving the country&#39;s ecology. Preference is given to evergreen tree seedlings that are suitable for the local soil and climate conditions, including those that are heat- and frost-resistant.

The Chairman of the State Construction Committee of the city of Arkadag, D. Orazov, and the mayor of Arkadag, G. Mammedova, briefed the public on preparations for the greening campaign. As reported, during the upcoming nationwide campaign in the smart city, it is proposed to plant Turkmen juniper seedlings grown by experienced gardeners.

Having approved the first juniper planting in the new city, scientist Arkadag made a number of recommendations for establishing systematic care for the seedlings in accordance with agricultural practices.

Then, doctor Arkadag inspected the construction of the new city&#39;s medical cluster facilities. Quality remains the primary requirement for the construction of the industrial complex. The same applies to the raw materials used in production. Regarding industrial waste management, proper disposal is paramount. Emphasizing the need to establish production processes that will not impact the lives of city residents, Hero-Arkadag made a number of relevant recommendations.

Next, Hero-Arkadag visited the site where the second phase of construction is underway and reviewed the design work.

This included the design for the building of the Road Police Inspection Service, the Service for Determining the Technical Condition and Registration of Vehicles of the Arkadag Police Department, and the interior design of the museum under construction, including exhibition hall layouts.

After reviewing the designs, Hero-Arkadag made a number of comments and made the necessary adjustments, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the requirements for the construction of social and industrial facilities, as well as the improvement of adjacent areas.

Then, the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, held a working meeting with the participation of D. Orazov, Chairman of the State Construction Committee of Arkadag under the President of Turkmenistan, and G. Mammedova, mayor of Arkadag.

During the meeting, at the instruction of the head of state, issues related to the use of colored markings compliant with international standards on road transport infrastructure and in other areas, as well as aspects related to the specifics of their application, were discussed to ensure the well-being of citizens.

Hero-Arkadag also reported that during his recent visit to Afghanistan, to launch the next stage of construction of the Serhetabat-Herat gas pipeline, our Afghan brothers, left homeless by the earthquake, asked for assistance. The National Leader of the Turkmen People instructed the Chairman of the State Committee for the Construction of the City of Arkadag under the President of Turkmenistan, D. Orazov, to prepare proposals on this matter and submit them to the head of state for consideration. After consulting with Hero Arkadagly Serdar on this matter, following the wise saying, &quot;Ky&yacute;amat g&uuml;ni goňşudan,&quot; it is necessary to extend a hand of friendship to the Afghan people and provide them with assistance.

Hero-Arkadag emphasized that this will reflect the Turkmen people&#39;s inherent humanistic principles and their desire to perform good deeds aimed at supporting their neighbors. Throughout history, our people have followed their primordial good traditions, which are now being worthy of continuation.

On October 20, the National Leader of the Turkmen People and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, inspected the progress of construction in Afghanistan of the Serhetabat-Herat section, known as &quot;Arkadagyň ak &yacute;oly,&quot; which is part of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project.

Hero Arkadag arrived in the Afghan province of Rabat-Sangi, to the construction site of the Serhetabat-Herat section of the gas pipeline. There, the National Leader of the Turkmen People was warmly welcomed by members of the official delegations of our country and Afghanistan.

This is fully demonstrated by the work carried out by the State Concern &quot;T&uuml;rkmengaz&quot; to build new gas pipelines of international significance.

As Hero Arkadag noted, a solid material and technical base has been established for the implementation of the aforementioned project: this process is supported by more than 200 units of modern and powerful equipment. Afghan citizens will also be involved in the project, and its full implementation will create new jobs for the Afghan people.

National Leader of the Turkmen People blessed the implementation of the next stage of the Serhetabat-Herat gas pipeline

From October 22 to 24, 2025, the capital city of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, will host the international conference &ldquo;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2025&rdquo; (&ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo;), one of the most significant events of the year in the country&#39;s energy sector. This international forum will bring together leading representatives of the global energy industry, heads of international financial institutions, research centers, government agencies, and major oil and gas companies for broad discussions on key issues in the global energy agenda.

The main goal of the conference is to widely promote the current state, opportunities, and development directions of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s oil and gas industry at the international level, attract new investments, and open up new areas of cooperation. The event will not only highlight the achievements of the country&#39;s energy strategy but also affirm Turkmenistan&rsquo;s confident position in the global energy market.

In recent years, Turkmenistan has implemented large-scale reforms in the oil and gas sector. Modern technologies are being introduced in hydrocarbon extraction, processing, and export to international markets. The industrial development of the &quot;Galkynysh&quot; gas field, the construction of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India (TAPI) pipeline, and the launch of modern oil and gas processing plants are strengthening the country&#39;s economic potential. These initiatives contribute not only to national economic growth but also to regional and global energy security.

Turkmenistan currently ranks among the top countries in the world in terms of natural gas reserves. Comprehensive political, economic, and technological measures are being implemented at the state level to ensure the sustainable and efficient use of this wealth. Under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, state programs in the country are paying special attention to digitalization of the energy sector, transition to green energy, and environmentally friendly production. This positions Turkmenistan as a country open to modern trends in the global energy landscape.

The &ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo; international conference will offer broad opportunities to present these initiatives to the global community. During the various sessions, participants will discuss current trends in the modern energy market, new prospects for natural gas in international markets, the hydrogen economy, renewable energy sources, and energy security. Negotiations will also be held with partner country officials, investors, and representatives of international organizations on new economic cooperation projects.

Hosting this international forum will further increase foreign investors&#39; interest in Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy market. Such events enable global companies to establish direct communication with the national energy sector and initiate joint projects. This, in turn, paves the way for the introduction of new technologies, digital solutions, and advanced expertise into the national economy.

Today, the energy sector serves as a key driver of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s economic development. Revenues from hydrocarbon production and export not only enhance the country&rsquo;s economic strength but also contribute to job creation and improved social welfare. State-led efforts in this area stimulate the growth of other sectors such as industry, transport and logistics, construction, and services.

The &ldquo;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2025&rdquo; international conference is of not only economic, but also political and strategic importance. The forum clearly demonstrates the implementation of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s foreign policy based on openness, cooperation, and peace. Through this event, Turkmenistan shows the international community that it uses its natural resources not only for economic gain but also for the broader goals of sustainable and mutually beneficial development.

Thus, the upcoming &ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo; international conference in Ashgabat will mark a new stage in the country&rsquo;s large-scale energy reforms, international cooperation, and economic growth. This important forum will further solidify Turkmenistan&rsquo;s position in the global energy market and serve as clear evidence of the successful implementation of its strategy based on peace, sustainable development, and mutually beneficial partnership.

In the Year of International Peace and Trust, significant steps are being taken to protect the natural wealth and beauty of our country, preserve the environment, and develop an economy based on ecological sustainability.

Today, industrial enterprises and social facilities built in line with the principles of the &ldquo;green&rdquo; economy are equipped with modern, innovative technologies. The construction of the city of Arkadag serves as a clear example of an innovative approach not only to improving the socio-economic system but also to environmental protection. As the region&rsquo;s first &ldquo;smart&rdquo; city, Arkadag fully meets ecological standards and integrates harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

Raising public environmental awareness is also a vital aspect of sustainable development. Regular tree-planting ceremonies and community clean-up campaigns aimed at protecting nature clearly reflect ongoing efforts in this field.

The participation of the Honorable President in several of these initiatives demonstrates the Head of State&rsquo;s special attention to environmental protection. Tasks such as establishing forest belts, combating desertification, and preserving biological diversity are being successfully addressed through tree planting and care. Furthermore, the creation of the &ldquo;Altyn Asyr&rdquo; Turkmen Lake in the Karakum Desert has positively influenced the regulation of pasture use and the improvement of the overall ecological situation in the region.
