The state concern &quot; T&uuml;rkmengaz &quot; is carrying out large-scale work on the stage-by-stage development of the area of the giant gas field &quot; Galkynyş &quot;. Within the framework of the current phase of the field&#39;s operation, the Administration &quot; T&uuml;rkmengazburawla&yacute;yş &quot; on the order of the Administration &quot; Marygaz&ccedil;ykaryş &quot; drilled well No. 264 with a depth of more than four thousand meters.

As a result, a productive horizon was opened, located in the depth interval between the levels of 3852 and 4011 meters, and a natural gas inflow with a daily flow rate of 2 million 240 thousand cubic meters was obtained. According to experts, this gas well in the future can play a significant role in strengthening the industrial potential of the country&#39;s fuel and energy complex.

The reserves of the Galkynyş field exceed the size of the gas deposits of all the fields currently being developed in Turkmenistan and allow it to be included in the top four most grandiose centers of &quot;blue fuel&quot; on the planet. In terms of total reserves, it is second only to South Pars (located on the territory of Iran and Qatar, reserves are 28 trillion cubic meters) and, in fact, is the second largest in the world.

The work carried out at the field demonstrates the success of measures aimed at developing the domestic fuel and energy complex, expanding production capacities, the effectiveness of geological exploration of the subsoil, strengthening the export potential of the country&#39;s natural gas. This is also facilitated by the introduction of innovative technologies and advanced methods in the development of geological formations promising for hydrocarbon reserves, expanding the vectors of international cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, and the formation of long-term and mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners.

They informed about the main areas of work of the scientific centers they represent.

In his speech via digital communication, the President of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan noted the effective development of Azerbaijani-Turkmen relations in the field of science. As emphasized, science, culture and art in Turkmenistan have achieved great success in recent years. Scientific cooperation between scientists of the two countries covers a wide range of areas and is constantly strengthening.

In Azerbaijan, special attention is paid to the work of the great Turkmen poet Makhtumkuli Fragi and his study from a scientific point of view. The works of the great Eastern thinker have been repeatedly published in the Azerbaijani language. The preparation for publication and publication by the staff of the Academies of Sciences of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan of a new anthology of the poet based on the collection of poems by Makhtumkuli Fragi published in Bukhara in 1913 became a contribution to familiarizing the world community with Turkmen classical literature. The opening of the &quot;Magtymguly Fragi Research Center&quot; at the Nizami Ganjavi Institute of Manuscripts under the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan testifies to the intensification of relations at the level of the Academies of Sciences of the two countries.

In addition, the speeches emphasized the important role of science and innovation in modern society. Science has now become an integral part of everyday life, and achievements in this area have a major impact on the development of society, the economy, healthcare, and other areas. Science shapes ideas about the world around us, helps solve pressing problems, and opens up new horizons. The forum touched on one of the important issues for the region, which is related to the assessment and forecasting of seismic risks.

Effective research work in this area allows us to identify potentially seismically hazardous zones and develop effective steps to reduce damage. Engineering surveys and analytical forecasts make it possible to implement modern anti-seismic technologies. Constant monitoring of seismic risks and implementation of preventive measures contribute to increasing the sustainability of the economy and ensuring the well-being of the region.

The participants&#39; reports also focused on the importance of new technologies, including digitalization and artificial intelligence, for ensuring economic growth. It was noted that advanced technologies currently serve as one of the main conditions for the development of an innovative economy. The introduction of new technologies, including robotics, and automation of production processes contribute to increased labor productivity, efficient use of resources, and adaptation to market changes.

Modern technologies also contribute to the emergence of new business models. The development of e-commerce, platform solutions, digital services and financial technologies opens up opportunities for creating innovative products and attracting investment. In addition, new technologies play a major role in the further development of science, education and medicine, which ultimately contributes to the long-term growth of economic potential. Investments in research and development create opportunities for new technological achievements and gaining leading positions in the global innovation space. The speakers emphasized that new technologies are not just a tool for modernizing the economy, but a driving force that contributes to sustainable development, competitiveness and well-being of society in the modern world.

The forum also emphasized the importance of the Great Silk Road, which is currently being revived in a new format at the initiative of Turkmenistan. This large-scale transnational project, linking the countries of Europe, Asia and Africa with transport, infrastructure and economic corridors, not only promotes the development of trade between countries, but also becomes an important bridge for the exchange of knowledge, innovative technologies and cultural values.

The formation of transport and logistics routes along the Great Silk Road allows participants to accelerate trade turnover and increase the efficiency of export and import of products. Advanced technologies used in the construction of railways, ports and logistics centers contribute to the modernization of related industries and the exchange of experience between the countries participating in the project. In addition, the revival of the Great Silk Road will open up broad opportunities for mutual enrichment of cultures. Holding international exhibitions, festivals, scientific conferences and other events will bring peoples closer together, intensify the dialogue of cultures and strengthen mutual understanding between countries, and joint educational programs and research work will ensure innovative development. In general, the Great Silk Road is a unique project, which, being a powerful engine of mutually beneficial economic cooperation, makes a great contribution to the development of the world economy and culture.

&nbsp;

The current state and development opportunities of scientific cooperation between the member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States were also discussed at the forum. As noted, the partnership covers many areas, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, information technology, and is one of the important conditions that contribute to the development of science and technology in the CIS. The implementation of joint research projects is among the priorities of scientific cooperation in the CIS. Such initiatives allow for the unification of the intellectual potential of the Commonwealth states, which in turn increases the effectiveness of scientific research.

International conferences with the participation of scientists from different countries are also of great importance for the development of scientific cooperation. They serve as an effective platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience, promoting new scientific ideas and strengthening professional contacts. In this regard, it was noted that the development of scientific cooperation in the CIS is an important step towards strengthening the scientific potential of the participating states. Combining efforts and implementing joint projects will increase the competitiveness of the scientific and technological capabilities of the Commonwealth countries in the world. In the context of global threats, in particular climate change, scientific cooperation is becoming a necessary factor in sustainable development in the region.

In addition, during the international scientific conference, reports were heard concerning work in other areas of science. The participants were unanimous in their opinion on the need for further development of scientific cooperation and expressed gratitude to the President of Turkmenistan and Hero Arkadag for the high level of organization of the forum and the conditions created for its work.

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.

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.
