President of Turkmenistan participates in ceremonies for laying foundations and opening key facilities

On November 3, President Serdar Berdimuhamedow congratulated participants of the International Exhibition and Conference &ldquo;Development of the Construction, Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Sectors of Turkmenistan,&rdquo; held in the National Tourist Zone &ldquo;Avaza.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The international exhibition and conference, organized on the eve of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent neutrality, are of great importance for demonstrating the industrial potential of our homeland, implementing priority programs for the development of the national economy through diversification of the construction and industrial sectors, and expanding and creating new capacities for existing production of goods in high demand on global markets. Therefore, I am firmly convinced that this important event held in Avaza will contribute to the industrialization and socio-economic development of the regions, the introduction of modern technologies in the sector, and the active implementation of the digital economy concept in the era of the Renaissance of a new epoch of a powerful state,&rdquo; the president noted.

&ldquo;Turkmenistan is a nation of builders, a powerful state. Construction projects carried out in all regions of our homeland clearly demonstrate to the world that our independent country is strong and developing in all directions. Currently, modern residential complexes meeting advanced contemporary standards are being built across the country. New model cities, towns, and modern villages have emerged, embodying in their architecture the creative spirit of our era. Educational and sports facilities, residential buildings, parks, luxury hotels, sports and medical centers, sanatoriums, high-speed highways, large industrial and production complexes, as well as other buildings and structures, have been constructed. The impressive scale of construction serves as a vivid example of care for the people and the successful implementation of the principle of the Hero Arkadag: &lsquo;The State is for the People!&rsquo;

It is especially worth noting that the history of the beautiful city&mdash;the heart of our homeland&mdash;is marked by great achievements and successes. In the new era, the white-marble city of Ashgabat, the capital of independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan, has been transformed before our eyes into one of the most beautiful and well-organized cities in the world. We attach special importance to the implementation of the large-scale urban development program and to creating a unique appearance for the country&rsquo;s capital, rightfully called the Pearl of Asia.

Our homeland develops day by day and, over the years of independence, has become a vast construction site. In particular, the rapid construction of the city of Arkadag, which has no analog in the region, serves as a vivid example of the great achievements of independent Turkmenistan,&rdquo; emphasized Serdar Berdimuhamedow.

The head of state wished participants of the exhibition and conference good health, long life, family well-being, a peaceful and happy life, and great success in their work for the further economic prosperity of the country.

President of Turkmenistan congratulates participants of the International Exhibition and Conference on the Development of Construction, Industrial, Chemical, and Energy sectors

On November 3, President Serdar Berdimuhamedow congratulated workers of the construction and industrial complex on their professional holiday.

&quot;At present, in accordance with our economic strategy aimed at developing the country&rsquo;s economy through diversification, colossal progress is being achieved in all its sectors. Turkmenistan is confidently taking its place among the industrially developed countries of the world.

Workers of the construction and industrial complex, along with representatives of other sectors, make a worthy contribution to the large-scale reforms being carried out in our country and to the grand achievements being attained.

In the new historical era, the construction and industrial complex has become one of the priority segments of the national economy. Its key sectors&mdash;industrial, construction, chemical, energy, as well as road construction&mdash;are developing at a high pace,&quot; the head of state noted.

&quot;Electric power also plays an important role in the development of the national economy. The dynamic development of this key sector lays the most important foundations for forming a new industrial-innovative profile for our country, increasing its economic potential, and improving the welfare of the people.

Today, our sovereign homeland has become one of the leading energy powers not only in the region but also in the world. Currently, as part of the large-scale reforms being implemented in this sector, work is underway to ensure reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply to domestic consumers, diversify Turkmen electricity exports to foreign countries, create new energy capacities, improve the technical condition of distribution networks, and establish a looped connection of the existing unified national energy system,&quot; the president emphasized.

The head of state wished workers of the construction and industrial complex good health, happiness, prosperity, and great success in their work.

&ldquo;Green&rdquo; education is a comprehensive approach primarily aimed at developing in younger generations the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, values, and culture of behavior to create a sustainable society and pass the environment on to future generations in good condition. This concept involves not only teaching the fundamentals of ecology and sustainable development but also implementing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions in educational institutions.

Respect for nature and the development of ecological culture are the main directions of &ldquo;green&rdquo; education. Therefore, at all levels of education, concepts related to climate change, the rational use of natural resources, and sustainable development are widely integrated. In addition to introducing specialized ecological subjects into curricula, extracurricular and mass events are regularly held.

Modernizing the educational environment, i.e., creating &ldquo;green&rdquo; schools, is also one of the important steps in this direction. &ldquo;Green&rdquo; education enables young people to increase their understanding of the environment, learn to use natural resources sparingly, and creatively solve ecological problems.

Important steps are being taken in Turkmenistan in this area. Alongside improving ecological literacy, special emphasis is placed on developing international cooperation. A clear example of such cooperation is the Memorandum signed in April of this year between the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan and the UNICEF office in Turkmenistan regarding the joint program &ldquo;Green School.&rdquo; This program, the first of its kind in Central Asia, aims to transition participating schools to a sustainable and energy-efficient environment.

Within the framework of this program, principles of sustainable development are integrated into all aspects of educational institutions&#39; work&mdash;from interactive teaching methods to energy-saving measures.

It is also worth noting the successful implementation of the &ldquo;green&rdquo; education concept in our higher education institutions. Some of our universities have managed to enter international specialized &ldquo;green&rdquo; rankings. The most prestigious of these is the &ldquo;UI GreenMetric&rdquo; ranking created by the University of Indonesia, which evaluates universities on their work in sustainable development and environmental well-being. This ranking considers indicators such as natural resource management, energy efficiency, waste management, and the development of ecological educational programs.

According to the results of 2024, 11 higher education institutions of Turkmenistan were included in this ranking. Among them, the Oguzhan University of Engineering Technologies and the S.A. Niyazov Turkmen Agricultural University succeeded in entering the top 500 universities worldwide.

Educational reforms carried out in the country also broadly open the way for &ldquo;green&rdquo; education initiatives. New educational buildings are constructed in accordance with international ecological standards, providing young people with wide opportunities in ecological fields. For example, the new building of the Turkmen State Energy Institute opened on September 1, 2025, in the city of Mary, equipped with solar panels and a scientific-production center for &ldquo;Renewable Energy Sources,&rdquo; demonstrates the successful implementation of the country&rsquo;s &ldquo;green&rdquo; energy policy.

President of Turkmenistan Congratulated Banking System Employees on Their Professional Holiday

As Turkmenistan approaches the 30th anniversary of its permanent Neutrality, the country is actively implementing a broad energy policy. Comprehensive efforts are underway to develop the oil and gas sector and enhance its integration into the global energy system. Major projects focused on the extraction, processing, and export of hydrocarbon resources are being successfully realized.

The Balkan province is one of the richest regions in terms of oil and gas reserves. Industrial operations for the exploration and development of deposits in this area are carried out by the relevant departments of the State Concern &ldquo;Turkmennebit,&rdquo; including drilling, extraction, and overhaul divisions. Under the leadership of Arkadag Hero-Serdar, modern technologies are being widely introduced into the sector.

Turkmenistan holds leading positions globally in terms of hydrocarbon reserves. Accordingly, special attention is given to the stable development of the oil and gas complex, which is considered the backbone of the national economy.

In September of this year, the Turkmenistan Investment Forum was held in the &ldquo;Avaza&rdquo; National Tourist Zone. This event became a significant driver of economic growth, contributing to the implementation of strategic objectives such as strengthening the country&#39;s industrial capacity, promoting production through diversification, launching new manufacturing lines for high-demand goods, and enhancing the efficiency of existing enterprises.

On the Occasion of the 30th Anniversary of Neutrality, Turkmenistan Continues Advancing its Oil and Gas Sector

In the era of the Renaissance of a new epoch of a powerful state, in the International Year of Peace and Trust, each day of our Homeland &mdash; under the leadership of the Hero Arkadag and his worthy successor, the Arkadagly Hero Serdar &mdash; is filled with glorious events, celebrations, and festivities.

The esteemed President pays special attention to the dynamic development of the oil and gas sector &mdash; one of the key branches of the national economy, along with other industries. Significant investments are being made in this sector, and oil and gas production on Turkmenistan&rsquo;s fertile land is steadily increasing. Our valiant oil workers dedicate labor achievements as gifts to all national holidays.

During the celebration of the 30th anniversary of our Neutrality, we witnessed another joyful event. The esteemed President presented the Cementing Department of the &quot;Nebitgazburawla&yacute;yş&quot; Trust of the &quot;T&uuml;rkmennebit&quot; State Concern with 30 cementing units manufactured in the United Arab Emirates.
