The Administration &lsquo;D&ouml;wletabatgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&rsquo;, operating in the Sarakhs etrap of the Ahal velayat, has confirmed its status as one of the leaders in the gas industry of Turkmenistan. For the first 11 months of 2025, the company demonstrated steady growth in natural gas and condensate production.

These high performance indicators were achieved through extensive production modernization. A multi-stage feedstock preparation system has been implemented at the field: from primary treatment at the wellhead to advanced processing and gas dehydration at the headworks. This ensures that the product meets international standards before being sent to the main gas pipelines.

A key factor in this success was the renewal of the equipment fleet. Using a heavy-duty drilling rig with a lifting capacity of 180 tons, specialists from the State Concern &lsquo;T&uuml;rkmengaz&rsquo; completed the overhaul of approximately 30 wells with depths of up to 5,000 meters. Effective troubleshooting and bottomhole cleaning have restored wells that had previously experienced reduced productivity.

The work successes of the &lsquo;D&ouml;wletabatgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&rsquo; team ensure the stable implementation of the state strategy to expand export potential and strengthen the energy independence of the country.

Strategic partnership with the United Nations is one of the priorities of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s foreign policy, which consistently develops constructive cooperation at the regional and global levels.

Evidence of this includes the outcomes of the fourth meeting of the Strategic Advisory Council &ldquo;Turkmenistan&ndash;UN,&rdquo; held in October in Ashgabat, successfully implemented and ongoing joint projects in various fields, as well as a solid package of bilateral documents aimed at long-term, multifaceted partnership.

An integral component of the productive Turkmenistan&ndash;UN dialogue is cooperation in the humanitarian sphere.

With regard to gender policy, the principle of equal rights and freedoms and the creation of equal opportunities for men and women, in accordance with the Constitution of Turkmenistan and generally recognized international norms, has been defined as one of the priorities of the state strategy of the Motherland.

On December 21, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in an informal summit of the heads of state of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The summit was preceded by a tour of the Hermitage Museum.

The tour began with a visit to the Gold Treasury, which displays gold jewelry from the ancient period. Among the striking exhibits are filigree gold pieces from the Scythians, dating back 2,000 years.

The Central Asia Hall, located on the museum&#39;s second floor, offers an insight into the history of the Great Silk Road: the exhibition offers insight into the intercultural relations that developed over centuries.

Once uniting countries and peoples, the Great Silk Road not only facilitated the expansion of mutually beneficial trade cooperation but also served as a bridge for cultural contacts. The Turkmen land, through which the ancient trade route ran, served as a hub for the unification of East and West: trade caravans passed through it to the countries of the Middle East and Europe. The Great Silk Road also passed through Turkmen cities such as Merv, Koneurgench, and Nusay, centers of science and culture.

The heads of state then visited halls introducing the art of Great Britain and France, which display works by outstanding Western artists and sculptors.

Next, a tour of the Leonardo da Vinci Hall took place, housing over 20 works by the great Renaissance scientist and artist. Each of Leonardo da Vinci&#39;s works is distinguished by its high level of execution and meaningful message.
