Turkmenistan and the EU see prospects for cooperation in the energy sector

Following the forward-looking scientific and technical policy of the Hero-Arkadag, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, aimed at introducing advanced modern technologies into production, during the Renaissance of a new epoch of a powerful state under the leadership of the esteemed President, conditions have been created for the wide implementation of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress and more advanced technologies across all sectors of the national economy within the framework of the dynamic development of science, education, and the socio-economic sphere.

The development of the oil and gas sector of Turkmenistan, a country rich in energy resources, the diversified supply of natural gas to global markets, as well as the processing of oil and gas resources and the production of high-quality goods that meet international standards, are key directions of the energy strategy of the independent state. The export potential of the country&rsquo;s oil and gas complex is increasing annually. Mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners are being strengthened and expanded.

Today, Turkmenistan is successfully developing effective ties with many countries around the world, major foreign companies possessing advanced technologies, financial institutions, and international organizations. The economic efficiency, social significance, and environmental safety of joint projects constitute the basic principles of this cooperation. A vivid example of this is the long-standing positive experience of cooperation between Turkmenistan and China in the fuel and energy sector, as well as large-scale projects aimed at expanding routes for the supply of Turkmen &ldquo;blue fuel&rdquo; to global markets and strengthening the export capacity of the gas industry. The country attaches great importance to deeper and more comprehensive processing of natural gas.

Turkmenistan has strengthened its reputation as an energy supplier in the global energy market and is qualitatively transforming its capabilities in this field through the diversification of the commodity structure of energy exports and the active development of new forms of international energy cooperation.

Alongside exports, an important task of the fuel and energy complex is to meet the growing domestic demand for energy resources. This is ensured through the accelerated development of key sectors of the national economy, including oil and gas, chemical, electric power, construction industries, and other sectors.

Hero-Arkadag confirmed our country&#39;s readiness to consider the development and implementation of a Roadmap for Turkmenistan&#39;s cooperation with UNIDO for 2026&ndash;2030 in the area of ​​green industrial transition and measures to combat climate change.

In this regard, Hero-Arkadag emphasized Turkmenistan&#39;s priority regional initiatives. It was emphasized that the initiative to establish a Regional Center to Combat Desertification for Central Asian countries is aimed at developing an effective mechanism for coordinating efforts to restore ecosystems and strengthen the region&#39;s environmental resilience.

Turkmenistan is also consistently promoting the development of international legal instruments for transboundary water resource management, including the preparation of regional conventions for the Amyder&yacute;a and Syrder&yacute;a river basins. The country places particular emphasis on promoting the Caspian Environmental Initiative, which aims to unite international efforts to preserve the unique ecosystem of the Caspian Sea.

Furthermore, Turkmenistan is implementing an initiative to establish a UN Regional Climate Technology Centre for Central Asia. This Centre will serve as an effective platform for implementing innovative solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as for expanding international technological cooperation.

In turn, Gerd M&uuml;ller praised the significance of the initiatives put forward by our country, emphasizing that UNIDO views cooperation with Turkmenistan as strategically important and long-term.

At the end of the meeting, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty, Hero-Arkadag, and the Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, Gerd M&uuml;ller, exchanged best wishes.

During his visit to the Republic of Austria, National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, met with the Federal President of Austria Alexander Van der Bellen.

Before the meeting, an official photo ceremony took place against the backdrop of the State flags of the two countries.

The Federal President once again warmly welcomed the distinguished Turkmen guest and expressed gratitude for accepting the invitation.

Expressing sincere appreciation for the warm reception, the National Leader of the Turkmen people conveyed cordial greetings and best wishes from President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to the Federal President of Austria.

In turn, the Federal President of Austria conveyed his greetings to the head of Turkmenistan and noted that he warmly recalls their productive meeting held in New York during the UN General Assembly.

During the constructive exchange of views, Hero-Arkadag emphasized that the current visit to the Republic of Austria is regarded as an important step that will give strong impetus to the intensification of bilateral cooperation in the political, economic, cultural, and humanitarian spheres.

Hero-Arkadag expressed sincere gratitude to the Republic of Austria for its consistent support of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s international initiatives, in particular for co-authoring numerous resolutions of the UN General Assembly.

It was especially emphasized that in modern conditions any disagreements should be resolved exclusively through political and diplomatic means. Austria&rsquo;s active support of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for 2031&ndash;2032 testifies to the high level of mutual trust.

During the meeting, considerable attention was paid to the activities of the Group of Friends of Neutrality established at Turkmenistan&rsquo;s initiative, which Austria joined among the first participating countries. This cooperation is also reflected within the framework of interaction with the European Union.

As noted, contacts between the foreign ministries of the two countries are developing consistently, facilitated by regularly held political consultations. In this context, the important role of inter-parliamentary dialogue, which has intensified significantly in recent years, was highlighted.

While discussing the current state of trade and economic cooperation, the National Leader of the Turkmen people emphasized the need to more fully utilize the existing potential to increase trade turnover. In this regard, the importance of the Joint Turkmen-Austrian Commission was underlined, and it was proposed to hold its next meeting in June of this year in Ashgabat.

Promising areas of cooperation were identified as high-tech sectors, including green energy, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. Turkmenistan shows great interest in Austria&rsquo;s experience in developing urban infrastructure, water treatment technologies, and the banking sector. Joint work in these areas will make it possible to introduce innovative solutions into the national economy, promote its diversification, and ensure sustainable development.

The humanitarian sphere serves as a bridge uniting the two peoples, which is particularly evident in academic exchanges between leading higher educational institutions. Cooperation between Turkmen universities and Graz University of Technology and the Vienna Diplomatic Academy provides a solid foundation for training a new generation of specialists.

Cultural dialogue is also developing consistently. The holding of Vienna Balls in Ashgabat and concerts by the Turkmen-Austrian Symphony Orchestra &laquo;Galkynyş&raquo; has become a good tradition.

Noting that Turkmenistan is always open to long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation with Austria, Hero-Arkadag invited the Federal President of the Republic of Austria to pay a visit to Ashgabat at a convenient time.

Expressing gratitude for the invitation, Alexander Van der Bellen stated with satisfaction that Austrian-Turkmen relations are today being enriched with new content and are successfully developing for the benefit of the two friendly peoples.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, and the Federal President of the Republic of Austria Alexander Van der Bellen exchanged their best wishes.
