Turkmenistan and Russia Aim to Develop Interstate Cooperation

Our people are celebrating with festive spirit the glorious 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality, as well as International Neutrality Day, which is marked by significant achievements across the country. One of the industrial giants that contributed its labor achievements in honor of this holiday is the State Concern &ldquo;Turkmennebit.&rdquo;

This concern, one of the largest industrial and economic associations in the country, carries out extensive work in the exploration and industrial development of oil and gas fields throughout our great homeland. The activities of the concern&rsquo;s production units in the Balkan region are particularly important in implementing the objectives set forth in the &ldquo;Turkmenistan Oil and Gas Industry Development Program until 2030.&rdquo;

According to experts, among the leading enterprises, the &ldquo;Nebitgazburawlayysh&rdquo; trust of the concern stands out. Recently, the trust&rsquo;s labor collectives successfully completed drilling three wells at the Uzynada field in the Caspian coastal zone and put them into operation, which became a significant labor contribution to the 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality.

Wells 72 and 86 of the &ldquo;Goturdepe&rdquo; Drilling Operations Department produce 44 and 43 tons of gas condensate per day, respectively, much to the satisfaction of the specialists. In addition, well 87 of the &ldquo;Ekerem&rdquo; Drilling Operations Department at the Uzynada field, with a design depth of 6,800 meters, produces over 45 tons of gas condensate per day. After technical and commissioning work, these productive wells were handed over to the oil workers of the &ldquo;Gumdagnebit&rdquo; Department of the &ldquo;Nebitgazchykarish&rdquo; trust.

It is noteworthy that modern ZJ70DB drilling rigs, purchased from the People&rsquo;s Republic of China at the initiative of the esteemed President, were used in the drilling process. This significantly increased the volume of extracted valuable raw materials and had a strong positive impact on the performance of the industry. The high pace of work strengthens specialists&rsquo; confidence that even greater achievements will be reached in the future.

Diligent specialists, equipped with modern drilling rigs and advanced technologies, express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to our National Leader, Hero Arkadag, and Arkadagly Hero Serdar for creating the conditions and opportunities for productive work.

President of Turkmenistan and Foreign Guests laid flowers at the Monument of Neutrality

On December 12, the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, congratulated the nation on International Neutrality Day and on the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent neutrality.

&ldquo;From the very first days of independence, having chosen a foreign policy course and a national path aimed at integration into the system of international relations, Turkmenistan, on December 12, 1995, with broad support from the international community and in accordance with a historic United Nations General Assembly Resolution, acquired the legal status of permanent neutrality. This neutrality has opened new opportunities for our country, located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe in the heart of the Great Silk Road, for developing large-scale cooperation within the framework of our foreign policy strategy, proposing and implementing initiatives that fully support and unite the efforts of the international community in the areas of universal peace, security, and sustainable development.

In a short period in the modern history of our beloved homeland, glorious pages have been written, and our neutral country has become a reliable partner and a center of peacemaking. At the initiative of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag, a UN Regional Center for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia was opened in Ashgabat. Turkmenistan has repeatedly been elected Vice-Chair of the UN General Assembly and has participated in various UN bodies,&rdquo; said the Head of State.

&ldquo;In the era of the Revival of a new epoch of a powerful state, we firmly and consistently adhere to our international obligations and the principles of international law, realize the country&rsquo;s geopolitical and geo-economic potential for the sake of a peaceful life and constructive development, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation. In accordance with our foreign policy strategy, we place great importance on further strengthening relations with reputable international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as with countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Holding the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries at a high level in the National Tourist Zone &lsquo;Avaza&rsquo; and the unanimous adoption of the &lsquo;Avaza Political Declaration&rsquo; at the 18th plenary meeting of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the start of construction of the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat gas pipeline with the blessing of Hero Arkadag, are historic events that confirm the high international authority of our state, which pursues a policy of peace, friendship, fraternity, and cooperation, and the immense importance of our neutrality for the entire international community,&rdquo; the President noted.

Serdar Berdimuhamedow wished the people of the country good health, a peaceful and prosperous life, inexhaustible happiness, and great success in their work for the further prosperity of Turkmenistan.

Large-Scale exhibition opens in Ashgabat in honor of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s Neutrality

A solemn ceremony was held in the capital of Turkmenistan to inaugurate the Monument to the 30th Anniversary of Neutrality and to raise the flags on the square in front of it. The ceremony featured a speech by the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Rashid Meredov.

In his address, the head of the foreign policy department expressed deep gratitude to all the delegations that arrived in Ashgabat to participate in the Forum of Peace and Trust, emphasizing that their presence reflects a shared commitment to the ideals of humanism and justice.

It is worth noting that the Forum holds special significance, as it is dedicated to several key dates and initiatives at once: the International Year of Peace and Trust 2025, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly at Turkmenistan&rsquo;s initiative and unanimously supported by all UN member states; the International Day of Neutrality; and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Neutral Turkmenistan.

It is especially symbolic that the unveiling of this commemorative monument takes place in the year when the UN celebrates its 80th anniversary. The new complex is a tribute to many years of global efforts to promote peace, security, and cooperation. The monument reflects Turkmenistan&rsquo;s concept of neutrality, embodying friendship, mutual understanding, trust, unity, and solidarity.

&ldquo;The opening of the monument also symbolizes the historic path chosen by the country and the fundamental role of neutrality in shaping both domestic and foreign policy. Guided by this principled status, Turkmenistan implements national and international programs aimed at sustainable development, combating climate change, protecting human rights, and expanding multilateral cooperation,&rdquo; said Rashid Meredov.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that although the complex is located in Ashgabat, the capital of neutral Turkmenistan, its message extends far beyond national borders.

&ldquo;It is conceived as an open space for all peoples, a reminder that every nation has the right to peace, security, and development through dialogue rather than confrontation. In international practice, neutrality is often called a &lsquo;bridge of trust,&rsquo; a structure that unites rather than divides. Turkmenistan adheres to this very approach in its foreign policy, guided by the UN Charter, upholding the sovereignty of all states, and promoting a culture of peaceful cooperation,&rdquo; stated Rashid Meredov.
