&ldquo;The international exhibition and conference in Ashgabat are significant events not only for Turkmenistan but also for our company.

As the interview highlighted, the implementation of fifth-generation (5G) communication standards will positively impact the development of various sectors of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s economy, including the fuel and energy complex.

&ldquo;In the energy sector, it is crucial for enterprises to operate steadily and without interruptions.

Turkmenistan’s 20-year partnership with “NOKIA” enters a new phase of development

On November 12, in the city of Ashgabat, the XVIII international exhibition and scientific conference &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmentel &ndash; 2025,&rdquo; as well as the international conference and exhibition &ldquo;International Transit and Transport Corridors: Connectivity and Development &ndash; 2025,&rdquo; began their work.

Mekan Meredov, a representative of the Interagency Electronic Communications Department of the state company &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmentelekom&rdquo; under the Ministry of Communications of Turkmenistan, spoke with a correspondent of the electronic newspaper &ldquo;Altyn Asyr&rdquo; about the current state of the electronic data exchange system.

&ldquo;As a representative of the Ministry of Communications, I would like to note that this year has been particularly significant for us. We have achieved important milestones in building an interconnected, reliable and modern e-government system. One of our key achievements in this direction is the newly created national data-exchange platform &lsquo;X-Road&rsquo;,&rdquo; said Mr. Meredov.

As emphasized in the interview, this system is designed to securely transmit data in digital form between various agencies. It replaces paper-based documentation and covers numerous sectors such as healthcare, education, governmental and legal services.

With the development of the e-government system, citizens will be able to obtain necessary certificates and documents from various agencies through a single platform. The main goal of the system is to ensure the availability of digital public services and to enhance convenience for citizens.

Several ministries and sectoral agencies have already been connected to the platform. In the future, integration efforts are planned to be accelerated in order to expand the range of digital services for citizens. This indicates Turkmenistan&rsquo;s readiness to advance to a new stage of digital transformation.

At the International Conference and Exhibition &ldquo;International Transport Corridors: Connectivity and Development &ndash; 2025&rdquo; (ITTC 2025), Director General of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) Sergey Kulikov delivered a report dedicated to the role of classification societies in ensuring the reliability of the global fleet and the resilience of global logistics arteries.

Kulikov noted the fragility of global logistics arteries, emphasizing that a single vessel incident at key maritime chokepoints&mdash;such as the Suez or Bab el-Mandeb straits&mdash;can lead to global economic losses and a cascade of delays. In his view, the solution lies in shifting from reactive measures to preventive ones, where investments in the technical safety of vessels serve as direct investments in strengthening global logistics.

In conclusion, Sergey Kulikov stressed that by supporting a culture of safety and implementing innovations, classification societies act as key system integrators. In doing so, they create a reliable foundation for a safe, efficient, and responsible maritime logistics system.
