On June 11, the harvesting season began in the wheat fields of the Dashoguz and Balkan velayats of the country. Inspired by the blessing of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, addressed to all grain growers of the Fatherland at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on May 29, farmers are determined to collect the rich grain harvest in the shortest possible time and without losses.

The start of the mowing in the Dashoguz and Balkan velayats was preceded by production seminars with the participation of representatives of the velayat and etrap khyakimliks, experienced agronomists, machine operators, and tenant farmers. The agenda included issues of proper organization of the harvest, ensuring the clear and coordinated work of the entire grain harvesting conveyor.

The participants of the seminars expressed their sincere gratitude to President Serdar Berdimuhamedov for his constant concern for rural workers, the successfully implemented reforms aimed at the systematic technical re-equipment and modernization of the agro-industrial complex, and the created conditions for a decent life and fruitful work of farmers.

It should be noted that in 2025, the country&#39;s grain growers intend to harvest 1 million 400 thousand tons of food wheat from 690 thousand hectares of land.

The grain field of the northern region is 145 thousand hectares, from which farmers will have to prepare 265 thousand tons of grain. As for the grain growers of the western region, their state order, according to the Decree of the head of state, is 80 thousand tons of grain from 50 thousand hectares of land.

According to a centuries-old good folk tradition, the elders offered a prayer to the Almighty for a successful harvest. Then the respected aksakals, having received sickles from the hands of the younger generation, mowed the first ripe wheat ears with the words &quot;Harmanyňyza bereket, &ccedil;&auml;jiňize bereket!&quot; - &quot;May the harvest of your grain be abundant!&quot; and handed over the symbolic sheaves to the combine operators.

The farmers have done a lot to grow a full harvest, in terms of carrying out measures to care for winter crops and strictly adhering to agricultural standards, giving preference to high-yielding varieties of wheat that have proven themselves well in the soil and climatic conditions of the region.

Grain harvesters, distinguished by their power and high productivity, have entered the fields. Their uninterrupted operation is ensured by a network of repair and mechanical teams with a sufficient number of spare parts, fuels and lubricants.

The delivery of wheat to receiving points, barns and elevators will be provided by trucks. The laboratories of the Main State Service &quot;T&uuml;rkmenstandartlary&quot; are also fully prepared, and their specialists will use the latest equipment to promptly determine the quality of grain coming from the fields. 
Machine operators, drivers and other workers involved in mowing have been given mandatory training on occupational health and fire safety. Appropriate conditions for work and rest have been created for them at field camps, performances by cultural figures and the work of mobile trading points have been organized.

Thus, the beginning of the harvest in the northern and western regions resulted in a bright, memorable celebration &ndash; exhibitions of products from the country&rsquo;s agro-industrial complex were organized, samples of modern agricultural machinery were demonstrated, and a concert of pop artists was held.

In our country, where the oil industry is one of the key sectors of the economy, the State Concern &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmennebit&rdquo; includes not only main departments, but also a number of auxiliary units. One of them is the &ldquo;Burnebitgazhyzmat&rdquo; Department under the &ldquo;Nebitgazburawla&yacute;yş&rdquo; Trust. The main task of this department is to supply enterprises with drilling and casing pipes. The department ensures the timely delivery of pipes to production sites where drilling operations are conducted, as well as their preparation for use, maintenance, technical testing and inspection. It also provides services related to transportation and specialized machinery.

Since the beginning of the year, the &ldquo;Nebitgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&rdquo; Trust of the State Concern &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmennebit&rdquo; has produced 1,278,817 tons of &ldquo;black gold.&rdquo; This achievement is clearly due in large part to the skilled work of experienced drillers. The high volume of oil and gas production directly depends on the scale of drilling operations. Since the start of the year, the drillers of the &ldquo;Nebitgazburawla&yacute;yş&rdquo; Trust have drilled 57,246 meters of production wells and 16,051 meters of exploration wells. The &ldquo;Burnebitgazhyzmat&rdquo; Department has consistently supplied drilling enterprises with the necessary pipes on time. The department operates smoothly with the help of overhead cranes with a lifting capacity of 12.5 tons, truck cranes with capacities ranging from 12 to 25 tons, and powerful specialized vehicles for transporting pipes.

The department maintains pipe yards at production sites in Goturdepe, Korpeje, Ekerem, and Akpatlawuk. It also supplies pipes to drilling areas in places such as Barsagelmez and Uzynada. Within the department, four operational sections are in place, where effective restoration of casing pipes used in drilling is carried out. These pipes are straightened, cleaned, and sent to the drillers. Powerful &ldquo;ASW-1050&rdquo; and &ldquo;ASW-700&rdquo; units available at the facility make it possible to accurately assess the condition and pressure resistance of the pipes before they are dispatched to the drilling teams. All pipes entering the industry&mdash;whether new or previously used&mdash;are inspected and certified by the technical control department of the pipe repair shop. It is worth noting that this is the only such unit within the State Concern &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmennebit&rdquo; that performs such a responsible task.

Among the department&rsquo;s priorities are ensuring the high quality of services provided to successfully fulfill oil and gas production plans, reducing the time required for drilling and well construction, establishing control over the efficient use of pipes, and preparing drilling and casing pipes for use with minimal labor and material costs. All these tasks are accomplished thanks to the dedicated efforts of the highly motivated specialists of the &ldquo;Burnebitgazhyzmat&rdquo; Department. The enterprise regularly supplies the drilling operations departments in Korpeje, Ekerem, Goturdepe, and Nebitdag with drilling and casing pipes, heavy-weight drill pipes, square kellys, drill and casing pipe connectors, check valves, and subs.

The Department&#39;s Labor Protection and Safety Division attaches great importance to strict compliance with labor discipline and ensuring safe working conditions. Throughout the year, inspections are regularly carried out in workshops and sections according to the schedule of the continuously operating occupational safety commission. All necessary working conditions are provided in the workshops. Workers are promptly supplied with special clothing and personal protective equipment.

The properly organized work of the &ldquo;Burnebitgazhyzmat&rdquo; Department testifies to the fact that its workforce is on track to complete the Year of Peace and Trust with high production results.

&nbsp;

Today, cycling is gaining more and more followers in the world. World Bicycle Day is a holiday that unites countries and peoples, promotes the widespread popularization of this sport and the promotion of environmental culture in society.

Using a bicycle as the main means of transportation helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the environment, thereby ensuring environmental well-being. In the current climate change environment, the transition to environmentally friendly modes of transport is one of the important tasks. In this regard, the bicycle is one of the most effective and accessible modes of transport, with a number of additional advantages.

Cycling opens up new horizons for tourism, allowing you to combine physical activity with outdoor recreation at any time of year. This sport is available to people of all ages. Regular cycling helps strengthen the human cardiovascular system and overall endurance. Cycling and bike rides are great leisure activities, including family or friends.

Cycling has a positive effect on the healthy development of children, promotes their social adaptation and helps them find new friends with whom they can go for walks and share experiences.

Strengthening children&#39;s health in Turkmenistan is a priority. Particular attention is paid to our young citizens who need support from the state. Large-scale activities in this direction are carried out by the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Assistance to Children in Need of Guardianship, created on the initiative of the Hero-Arkadag.

A bicycle is not just a means of transportation, but also a symbol of a sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Its regular use makes it possible to reduce harm to the environment and improve public health. In light of global environmental challenges, a bicycle as a means of transportation is an important step towards creating a cleaner, safer and healthier future for all. Such mass events, by drawing attention to the development of cycling and environmental issues, inspire people to choose this efficient and useful means of transport.

Over the millennia, the Turkmen people have developed unique traditions of caring for nature, living in harmony with it. As a result of annual greening campaigns, the area of green spaces in the capital and throughout the country is expanding. The forest zones and parks created have a beneficial effect on the local microclimate.

Today, as a result of the noble undertakings of Hero Arkadag in the field of ecology, issues of careful preservation of the nature of the Fatherland, further improvement of the environment, social and living conditions of the population are among the priority areas of state policy, carried out under the leadership of Hero Arkadagly Serdar.

In order to ensure environmental well-being at the national and global levels, a comprehensive and long-term National Forest Program is being successfully implemented in Turkmenistan. In connection with the rapid development of industrial infrastructure, transport and communications systems, the expansion of cities and the creation of new settlements, the program provides for the formation of green zones and forests. In recent years, the mass planting of tree seedlings in various parts of the country, including around the capital, has become a good tradition. Every year, during the relevant large-scale events held in the spring and autumn with the active participation of the public, millions of seedlings are planted.

Turkmenistan is also actively developing international cooperation in the field of ecology. Having joined dozens of UN environmental conventions, our country responsibly approaches the solution of the problems facing the world community in the field of sustainable development.

...Following the planned route, the caravan of cyclists continued moving along the wide avenues of the capital. The fresh air of the early morning, the magnificent views of the Kopetdag foothills, the unique architectural appearance of Ashgabat - the pearl of Asia, one of the most beautiful and comfortable cities in the world to live in - lift the spirits of the participants of the bike ride.

Sports activities help people use their time more effectively. Physical exercises have a positive effect on thinking abilities and memory, and develop such qualities as perseverance and diligence. Health is a great value not only for an individual, but also for society as a whole.

Sports play a major role in raising a physically strong and spiritually rich young generation &ndash; the future of our Motherland. The participation of the President of Turkmenistan in sports events held in the country further increases their importance.

During the bike ride, the head of state, as always, demonstrated good physical and athletic fitness.

Hero Arkadag and President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, who have designated strengthening the principles of a healthy lifestyle in society as one of the strategic directions of state policy, regularly engage in sports, setting an example for their compatriots. This inspires our athletes to win international competitions. Their success confirms the effectiveness of measures implemented in the country in this direction and increases the prestige of Turkmen sports in the international arena. The President of the National Olympic Committee of Turkmenistan, the head of state also attaches great importance to the development of the Olympic movement in our Fatherland.

The peace-loving policy of neutral Turkmenistan and the initiatives of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov can be characterized as a vivid reflection of the famous words of the founder of the modern Olympic movement Pierre de Coubertin in his &quot;Ode to Sport&quot;, which extols the goals of peace, creation, progress, joy and a healthy lifestyle, as well as the spirit of youth, the desire to win with the words &quot;Oh, sport! You are peace!&quot; The motto of the Olympic Games &quot;Faster, higher, stronger - together&quot; confirms the important role of sport in strengthening solidarity and friendship between peoples.

The construction of the unprecedented Olympic Village in Ashgabat contributed to the rise of Turkmen sports to a qualitatively new level. It was here that the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games were successfully held in 2017, opening a new page in the history of national sports. Thanks to their holding, Turkmenistan entered the ranks of countries that have all the conditions for organizing high-level competitions, demonstrating the success of sports diplomacy implemented in the interests of global peace and prosperity. Today, our state has extensive experience in training specialized qualified specialists, improving the skills of athletes, and holding regional and world sports events.

It should be noted that Turkmenistan, famous for its historical and cultural monuments and beautiful nature, has great potential in the field of tourism. Ashgabat, striking with its unique architectural style, well-kept parks and fountains, attracts many foreign tourists.

&hellip;During the bike ride, the President of Turkmenistan instructed the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers T. Atahallyyev, who oversees the agro-industrial complex, to keep under review the implementation of the National Forestry Program, which includes long-term tasks, in order to further improve the environmental situation in the country.

In turn, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers B. Annamamedov, who oversees the capital, reported to President Serdar Berdimuhamedov on the measures being taken for its further development and improvement.

The head of state, drawing attention to the importance of successfully implementing the tasks outlined in the Ashgabat Development Concept, ordered that work on modernizing the city&rsquo;s infrastructure, ensuring a healthy ecological environment, and creating comfortable living conditions for citizens be kept under constant control.

The head of state completed the bike ride, finishing at the Rukhyet Palace.

Here, the participants of the bike ride noted the significance of the Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on the initiative of Turkmenistan to declare June 3 of each year World Bicycle Day and, taking the opportunity, sincerely congratulated President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and Hero Arkadag on this wonderful holiday.

The head of state said a warm farewell to the participants of the mass bike ride, wishing them health and success.

The event on the occasion of World Bicycle Day, which occupies a worthy place in the calendar of the United Nations, united our society in achieving a common goal and once again demonstrated that Turkmenistan is a country of health and inspiration.

Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov leads mass bike ride in Ashgabat

The Esteemed President of Turkmenistan pays close attention to the prioritized development of the country&rsquo;s oil and gas sector and makes key decisions in this area. His tireless efforts enable large-scale progress in the exploration and increase of hydrocarbon reserves across the country.

Inspired by this national mission, the dedicated and cohesive team of the &ldquo;Lebapnebitgazgozleg&rdquo; expedition under the State Corporation &ldquo;Turkmengeologia&rdquo; actively contributes to this vital work. Their determined efforts are bearing fruit.

Recently, the explorers brought joyful news to the people: a research well drilled at the Northern Gazlydepe field by a team led by Aganyyaz Akyyev produced a strong flow of natural gas. Experts report the well&#39;s production rate reaches 420,000 cubic meters of natural gas and 5 tons of gas condensate per day.

&ldquo;This field has been producing gas for many years, so existing wells are considered low-pressure. However, specialists believe that the field is still rich in resources. Our work is based on that assumption. In our research well, we uncovered large gas reserves between depths of 3,085&ndash;3,089 and 3,108&ndash;3,123 meters. This confidently confirms the significant future of this field,&rdquo; says expedition chief geologist Syunnet Khatamov.

Indeed, the hard work of Lebap region geologists has brought well-deserved results. They attribute their success to the favorable conditions and comprehensive support provided by the Esteemed President for high labor productivity. The drilling team leader proudly highlights that each member of the crew has contributed to this achievement. In particular, the contributions of geologist Shohrat Ishangulyyev and drillers Durdy Ilmyradov and Serdar Gulnazarov deserve special recognition. With their high professional skill and competence, they serve as role models and motivate colleagues to work with dedication.

It is also worth noting that large-scale geological exploration is being carried out in the resource-rich Unyuzangyr region of the Karakum steppe. These efforts are part of a 2024&ndash;2026 plan developed and approved jointly by the State Concern &ldquo;Turkmengaz&rdquo; and the State Corporation &ldquo;Turkmengeologia.&rdquo; The program includes drilling of exploration, evaluation, and development wells at sulfur-free gas fields. Last year, industrial gas flows were obtained from wells drilled at the Chartak and Tachmyradov sites. This year, high performance continues &mdash; in addition to the Northern Gazlydepe well, a productive flow was obtained from a well at the Hazarli site. Currently, new drilling is progressing rapidly at the Tebigy and Northern K&ouml;seşor fields.

These achievements signal that skilled drillers will contribute to the success of the International Year of Peace and Trust.

​Within the framework of the International Conference and Exhibition &quot;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2024&quot;, a plenary session was held on the topic: &quot;New trends in the global energy market and prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation&quot;, which was addressed by Maksat Babayev, Minister of State of Turkmenistan and Chairman of Turkmengaz Group of Companies.

In his speech, he noted that Turkmenistan is actively implementing the strategically important Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline construction project. Since September 11 of this year, construction has begun on the Afghan section of the gas pipeline, which will stretch from Serkhetabat to Herat. This 1,853-kilometer gas pipeline will supply up to 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas from our Galkynysh gas field to three sampling points in Afghanistan, three sampling points in Pakistan and on the Pakistan-India border for supplies to the Indian market.

Maksat Babayev also stressed that the OGT conference provides a unique opportunity to share relevant news and ideas in the field of the Turkmen energy sector. The 2024 agenda reflects the realities of the changing global energy landscape and the need to accelerate the energy transition, as well as attract investment in new gas fields to ensure clean energy supplies to global markets.

Speaking about current activities, Maksat Babayev also noted that Turkmenistan is actively developing its deposits on the shelf of the Caspian Sea and on land in the Balkan region. Currently, several leading international oil companies, such as ENI, Dragon Oil and Petronas, are producing oil and gas at our contract sites. This year, special attention will be paid to attracting investments in offshore blocks, optimizing production at mature fields and the next phase of development of the Galkynysh field, the world&#39;s largest onshore gas field.

In conclusion, Maksat Babayev expressed confidence that cooperation with international partners will be the key to the successful development of Turkmenistan&#39;s energy sector and ensure sustainable growth in the region.
