Marking the beginning of the 35th anniversary of state independence, the Resolution of the Mejlis of Turkmenistan on the approval of the motto of 2026 &laquo;Independent neutral Turkmenistan &minus; the homeland of purposeful winged horses&raquo; opens a new page in the country&#39;s history.

The remarkable tradition established by the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, of naming each year, proclaiming in its slogan the key guidelines for national development at a new stage, contributes to the patriotic spirit and the desire of every citizen to be involved and make a personal contribution to the colossal work being carried out in Turkmenistan.

The symbolism of the current motto is determined not only by the people&#39;s historical commitment to their roots, but also by the objective realities of today. The year&#39;s name directly reflects the high pace of progress set in 2025 as part of the implementation &shy;of state programs.

In the context of the Eastern calendar, the coming Year of the Horse embodies energy, nobility, and an unstoppable drive to achieve one&#39;s goals. Since ancient times, graceful Turkmen &shy;horses, like exquisite carpets and filigree jewelry, have been considered the treasure of our people.

Since ancient times, graceful Turkmen &shy;horses, like exquisite carpets and filigree jewelry, have been considered the treasure of our nation. Akhal-Teke horses are the national pride of the Turkmen people, a masterpiece of material culture, nurtured and cultivated by our people over many centuries.

Turkmenistan places special emphasis on developing horse breeding and equestrian sports in the country, training experienced horse breeders, horse trainers, riders, and other relevant specialists, and creating the necessary conditions to improve their social and living standards.

At the same time, the horse-breeding traditions of our courageous ancestors are being revived, and the achievements of Turkmen horse breeding are expanding. The popularity of these &quot;heavenly&quot; horses, renowned worldwide for their speed and beauty, is growing. Given the enormous interest in our marvelous horses abroad, fruitful &shy;cooperation is being established with Akhal-Teke horse breeding associations in various countries.

The active integration of Turkmen horse breeding into the global arena is vividly embodied in the activities of the International Akhal-Teke Horse Breeding Association, whose headquarters are located in Ashgabat.

A special role in the revival of the world fame of Akhal-Teke horses and the preservation of the ancient traditions of hippology belongs to the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.

Thanks to the personal patronage of Hero &shy;Arkadag and commitment to the legacy of his ancestors, horse breeding in Turkmenistan was elevated to the level of a priority area of state policy.

Today, under the leadership of Arkadagly Hero Serdar, much is being done to enhance the global fame of Akhal-Teke horses and increase their numbers, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted at the meeting.

At a meeting with members of the &quot;Galkynyş&quot; National Equestrian Games Group in January 2025, National Leader of the Turkmen People and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, noted the expansion of cultural dialogue with countries around the world, including the Principality of Monaco, and emphasized the extensive work being done to develop national equestrian sports. The &quot;Galkynyş&quot; National Equestrian Games Group was established in 2007. Since then, this group has undergone an impressive journey, becoming a unique cultural phenomenon and a true calling card of our country on the global stage. Over the years, its masters of trick riding have earned recognition at the most prestigious international venues, winning multiple Grand Prix and top awards at circus arts festivals in Italy, China, Russia, and other countries.

Another important milestone in the popularization of the &quot;heavenly&quot; horses can be called the series of fundamental works by Hero Arkadag, which have become reference books for scientists and admirers of the Akhal-Teke horses around the world.

In his works, the author not only reveals the unique history and genetic potential of the breed but also articulates a philosophy of the inseparable connection between the Turkmen people and their faithful companion. These books laid the scientific and ideological foundation for the realization of the 2026 motto, &quot;Independent, Neutral Turkmenistan &ndash; the Homeland of Purposeful Winged Racehorses.&quot;

The inclusion of the &quot;Akhal-Teke Horse Breeding Art and Horse Decoration Traditions&quot; category on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity represents a significant achievement of state cultural policy. This decision, unanimously adopted at the 18th session of the Intergovernmental Committee in December 2023, cemented the status of these &quot;heavenly&quot; horses as a global heritage.

The city of Arkadag, built on the &quot;smart city&quot; concept, has become Turkmenistan&#39;s intellectual platform. A key element of its scientific and educational cluster is the Scientific and Production Center for Horse Breeding, whose comprehensive activities are aimed at preserving the gene pool, studying &shy;, and enhancing the worldwide fame of Akhal-Teke horses, combining centuries-old experience of traditional breeding with the latest advances in modern science.

The research and production center operates in close collaboration with the Aba Annaev International Academy of Horse Breeding. This integration of science and education allows students and young scientists to participate in practical research, ensuring the training of a new generation of specialists capable of working with the most advanced biotechnology.

Furthermore, in 2023, the UNESCO Club &quot;Akhal-Teke Horses &ndash; Ambassadors of Peace&quot; was established at the Aba Annaev International Academy of Horse Breeding. This decision underscores the town of Arkadag&#39;s status as an international center for humanitarian cooperation. The Club also actively collaborates with international associations, organizing international scientific and practical conferences, training seminars for horse breeders and veterinarians, and sharing experiences as part of the UNESCO nomination.

The 2026 motto &laquo;Independent neutral Turkmenistan &minus; the homeland of purposeful winged horses&raquo; represents a comprehensive development program aimed at strengthening the country&#39;s authority on the global stage. It symbolizes fidelity to national roots while simultaneously embracing global progress and technological innovation.

&nbsp;

The motto for 2026 is an expression of national pride and Turkmenistan's aspirations for development

Co-extrusion packaging film is a multilayer material produced by the simultaneous extrusion of two or more polymers in order to achieve unique properties such as high gas and moisture barrier performance, strength, aesthetic appeal, and airtight sealing. It is ideally suited for the food industry and other sectors to extend shelf life and protect products.

The new book by our Honorable President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, titled &quot;Neutrality of Turkmenistan: A Clear Path of Peace and Trust,&quot; published during the days of the widespread celebration of the glorious 30th anniversary of our country&#39;s permanent Neutrality, has sparked great interest among a wide audience of readers. The presentation ceremonies, which explain the significance and profound content of the book in expanding people&rsquo;s perspectives on peace and trust, clearly demonstrate this.

As noted in the speeches during the presentation ceremony held at the assembly hall of the oil and gas complex, through this new work by the Head of State, readers can gain a comprehensive understanding in Turkmen, English, and Russian about the historical roots of Turkmenistan&#39;s peace-loving foreign policy, the high moral character of our people, and the development of traditions of peace and good-neighborliness in culture, art, and life, as well as the international significance of Neutrality. Along with the importance of our permanent Neutrality, which has been recognized three times by the United Nations General Assembly, the book also details the historic initiatives of the Turkmen state aimed at ensuring global peace and trust. Furthermore, it summarizes the high milestones and achievements reached over the 30 years since Turkmenistan acquired its legal status of permanent Neutrality.

Additionally, the speakers noted that the new book by the Head of State has become a valuable guide for a deeper understanding of the ancient humanitarian principles of the Turkmen people and the significance of the Neutrality status. It was emphasized that the acquisition of permanent Neutrality opened a unique path of development for our state. The peace-loving foreign policy of our sovereign state, based on positive Neutrality, originates from the millennial traditions of goodwill of the Turkmen people and further enhances Turkmenistan&rsquo;s prestige in the international arena as a responsible and reliable partner. In this regard, it was noted that our country&rsquo;s energy policy is directed toward the interests of global well-being and regional development. In this direction, our country is implementing important international projects. As our Honorable President notes in his new book, Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy diplomacy, based on Neutrality, is aimed at creating multifaceted infrastructural connectivity. Such an approach helps our country establish multilateral cooperation in the field of energy resource supplies.

As emphasized in the speeches, the principle of &quot;Peace through Development&quot; put forward by our Hero-Arkadag and the philosophy of &quot;Dialogue is a Guarantee of Peace&quot; are being successfully implemented under the wise leadership of our Honorable President. Every citizen of our country and every reader can see this clearly by reading the book dedicated to Turkmen Neutrality&mdash;the clear path of peace and trust.

Our Independence and our permanent Neutrality, recognized three times by the world, are important values that strengthen our statehood and ensure the unshakable unity of our people. Being the first neutral state recognized by the United Nations, this international legal status defines the foreign policy course of our Motherland. The speeches at the presentation ceremony dwelt in detail on the content and sections of the new book. In the chapters &quot;Neutrality in Turkmen Wisdom&quot; and &quot;Looking at the Historical Roots of Neutrality,&quot; historical evidence is used to discuss our people&rsquo;s principles of peacemaking and friendship. A separate section is dedicated to our country&#39;s strategic partnership with the UN. In the chapter titled &quot;Peace and Trust: The Urgency of the Era,&quot; the Honorable President draws attention to the critical issues of modern times, noting that no violation of peace and trust&mdash;considered the &quot;golden rules&quot; for their solution&mdash;should be allowed.

In the chapters &quot;Turkmenistan&rsquo;s &lsquo;Open Doors&rsquo; Policy&quot; and &quot;XXI Century: The Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Strategy of Turkmenistan,&quot; the effective implementation of our country&#39;s national interests in the international arena is discussed. These interests are inextricably linked with the principles of global peace, good-neighborliness, and sustainable development. In the chapter &quot;Peace: The Foundation of Turkmen Civilization,&quot; it is very wisely noted: &quot;To live in harmony, reconciliation, and agreement is the essence of the good prayers and wishes of every Turkmen, not only for themselves or their nation, but for all the people of the world.&quot;

The book concludes with UN Resolutions on the permanent Neutrality of Turkmenistan, historical documents adopted in our country during the International Year of Peace and Trust, and speeches by our Honorable President at various summits and conferences. Participants of the ceremony emphasized that the book does not only provide a comprehensive understanding of how the principles of Neutrality were formed in the Turkmen mindset and how they are exemplarily developed in our current sovereign state, but also serves as a valuable source of information.
