President of Turkmenistan sent a congratulatory message to the King of Spain

In recent years, interest in &quot;green&quot; energy&mdash;renewable sources such as solar and wind&mdash;has been growing worldwide, including in Turkmenistan. These sources are not only naturally inexhaustible but also minimize environmental harm.

Under Turkmenistan&rsquo;s state policy in this area, a number of projects are being implemented to utilize alternative energy sources. The 2021 Law &ldquo;On Renewable Energy Sources&rdquo; marked a significant step in this direction. A vivid example is the construction of a 10-megawatt solar and wind power plant in the Gyzylarbat district of Balkan province.

Additionally, the construction of modern combined-cycle gas and steam power plants enhances energy efficiency and conserves natural resources. The newly installed gas turbines at the Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries meet current environmental standards.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy strategy is closely tied to international cooperation. National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, during foreign visits, actively promotes collaboration in green and hydrogen energy, as well as environmental protection. Opportunities for such cooperation have been discussed with France, among others.

Overall, Turkmenistan places great importance on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy. These projects contribute not only to economic growth but also to environmental protection.

Hero-Arkadag of Turkmenistan Congratulated President Serdar Berdimuhamedov on Being Awarded the Honorary Title of "Honored Architect"

On October 10, as part of his working visit to the Republic of Tajikistan, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the regular meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The meeting, chaired by the President of Tajikistan, was also attended by the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and the Russian Federation, the Prime Minister of Armenia, and the CIS Secretary General.

In his opening remarks, the President of Turkmenistan noted that despite current global political challenges, the CIS continues to serve as a platform for respectful and equal cooperation. The organization fosters structured dialogue among its members in areas such as foreign policy, economy, trade, and humanitarian affairs.

Highlighting economic cooperation as a priority within the CIS, President Berdimuhamedov stressed the importance of strengthening the economic and industrial potential of the Commonwealth under current geo-economic conditions. He emphasized that turning the CIS into a strong and attractive partner for other countries and organizations is an urgent task.

&quot;Our main reference point should be the CIS Economic Development Strategy until 2030. Turkmenistan believes it must be fully implemented, supported by the political leadership of our countries, and considered a strategic goal of joint development and cooperation,&quot; the President stated.

Continuing on this theme, Serdar Berdimuhamedov referred to the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, held in Turkmenistan in August 2024, where Caspian Sea connectivity was a key topic. He emphasized that the Caspian transit and logistics potential has taken on a global dimension, with key East-West and North-South routes&mdash;linking the Asia-Pacific region with Europe and the Middle East&mdash;passing through the Caspian region.

&quot;CIS countries should take an active part in shaping the Caspian logistics hub, securing their positions in this project on a mutually beneficial and coordinated basis,&quot; he said, reaffirming Turkmenistan&rsquo;s readiness to cooperate and to offer the use of its port infrastructure on the Caspian Sea for joint interests.

The President also highlighted the importance of mutual trade, creation of industrial and technological chains, and joint production projects involving CIS member states.

He further underlined the need to focus on technology and innovation, calling for the launch of practical technological partnerships, systematic knowledge-sharing, and skills exchange to boost the CIS&rsquo;s economic dynamism and competitiveness.

President Berdimuhamedov reaffirmed Turkmenistan&rsquo;s commitment to broad cooperation within the CIS in the fields of culture, science, education, and sports, and expressed the country&rsquo;s intention to support and promote such ties.

This year, Turkmenistan marks the 30th anniversary of its status of permanent neutrality, an event of historical significance. The CIS countries played a crucial role in the international recognition of this status, actively supporting it at the UN and in other international platforms. Taking this opportunity, the President extended an official invitation to CIS leaders to attend the anniversary celebrations in Ashgabat on December 12, as well as the International Forum for Peace and Trust, noting that their participation would be a valuable contribution to the success of these significant events and would be deeply appreciated by the Turkmen people.

At the conclusion of the meeting, it was officially announced that Turkmenistan will assume the chairmanship of the CIS in 2026 and will host the next CIS Heads of State Council meeting in the country on October 9 next year.

President of Turkmenistan participates in the CIS Heads of State Council Meeting

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s national principles&mdash;based on humanism, peace, trust, friendly relations, and dialogue&mdash;contribute to the development of mutually beneficial international cooperation. The legal status of permanent neutrality has attracted major foreign investment to our country, which in turn has stimulated the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises, industrialization of production, the introduction of digital systems and advanced technologies, as well as the latest scientific and technological achievements across all sectors of the national economy. Development programs have led to improved public welfare and living standards. A model of a world-class national economy has been established.

The consistent policy of neutrality has played a crucial role in achieving such high results. Over the past 30 years, Turkmenistan&rsquo;s legal status of neutrality has been recognized three times at the international level. Today, the country maintains close relations with nations around the world and with leading international organizations. At Turkmenistan&rsquo;s initiative, the United Nations General Assembly has adopted a number of important resolutions on issues of peace, security, and sustainable development.

Last month, during a plenary session of the UN General Assembly, the President of Turkmenistan proposed holding an international forum titled &ldquo;Central Asia &ndash; A Zone of Peaceful Coexistence&rdquo;, in cooperation with the UN and with the participation of regional countries, other interested states, and international institutions. This event will represent an important step in maintaining global stability.

President of Turkmenistan addressed the second "Central Asia–Russia" Summit

On October 10, the head of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, congratulated healthcare and medical industry workers on their professional holiday.

&quot;Thirty years ago, on the initiative and under the leadership of Hero Arkadag, the State Program &#39;Saglyk&#39; was adopted. And today, in the era of the Renaissance of a new era of a powerful state, we, in accordance with this document, continue to radically improve the national healthcare system, its material, technical, and legal framework. The measures being taken are large-scale and also aimed at improving health and increasing life expectancy for people, who are recognized as the highest value of society and the state, developing physical education and sports, and promoting the principles of a healthy lifestyle. By implementing the goals outlined in this area, we are consolidating the successes achieved.

Today, modern scientific, clinical, and diagnostic treatment centers, sanatoriums, health centers, and facilities producing medicines from local raw materials are being built across the country&mdash;in the capital, Arkadag, and in the regions&mdash;all equipped with cutting-edge equipment. We are thus writing glorious pages in the history of our independent Fatherland. The work being carried out in this area is exemplary and has been recognized by international organizations, including the World Health Organization. We also attach great importance to expanding scientific and medical cooperation in key areas such as exchanging experience through telemedicine, particularly teleconsultations, introducing the latest methods into applied medicine, and improving the qualifications of physicians,&rdquo; the president noted.

&ldquo;Today, thanks to the introduction of more modern treatment methods in the country, the population is now receiving virtually all the services available in global medicine. With the launch of the Arkadag Medisina Klasteri Management enterprise in Arkadag, the country has established the production of various medical products based on environmentally friendly local raw materials, which, I am confident, will eventually occupy a significant niche in global markets.

Domestic doctors are regularly sent to undergo advanced training at leading specialized centers in Europe and other countries. Close ties are also being established with renowned medical institutions and research centers, as is fully demonstrated by the traditional Turkmen-German Medical Forum.

The Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Assistance to Children in Need of Care also does a great deal to fulfill its primary mission: caring for very young citizens in need of social support. The Foundation regularly allocates funds to cover the costs of various surgeries and treatments for young Turkmen citizens in capital and regional hospitals, as well as to purchase the necessary medical supplies. To date, hundreds of children in need of care have undergone surgeries and other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures using the Foundation&#39;s funds,&quot; the head of state emphasized.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov wished healthcare and medical industry workers good health, family well-being, and new achievements in the noble cause of protecting human health.

Proposals such as the &ldquo;Culture of Peace and Trust&rdquo; and legal diplomacy reflect Turkmenistan&rsquo;s contribution to solving some of today&rsquo;s most pressing global issues.

<h3>Sustainable Development on the Path of Revival</h3>

Under the leadership of the Head of State, large-scale national programs are being successfully implemented to improve the living standards of the people, diversify the economy, and ensure sustainable growth.

Numerous state-level initiatives, new policies, and international cooperation clearly show that Independence is not just a historical milestone, but also the foundation of modern state-building, development strategy, and people-oriented governance.

As President Serdar Berdimuhamedov has emphasized in his speeches, Independence is a sacred value for our people.
