Hero Arkadag congratulates the President of Turkmenistan on the inclusion of the tradition of breeding alabay dogs in the UNESCO List

The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, delivered a speech at the International Forum in Ashgabat dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent Neutrality.

In his address, Hero Arkadag emphasized the need for constructive mobilization of potential, political maturity, will, and principled commitment on the part of the entire international community. The National Leader of the Turkmen people noted that all states, regardless of their political systems, size, or other factors, today bear responsibility for the future of our planet.

According to Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the key mechanism for such unity is the potential of the United Nations.

Hero Arkadag stated that the capabilities of the UN must be utilized as the only international organization possessing universal legitimacy and a mandate. Cooperation on the platform of Peace and Trust presupposes the existence of recognized political and legal foundations, as well as clear and well-defined principles enshrined in the UN Charter&mdash;equality, mutual respect, and non-interference in sovereign affairs.

The National Leader of the Turkmen people stressed that adherence to these principles is the guarantee of preserving peace and predictability and provides an opportunity to rebuild the foundations of civilized communication with one another.

In addition, Hero Arkadag stated that people&rsquo;s diplomacy should become an important support for official diplomacy.

The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan emphasized that at present, in promoting the concept of Peace and Trust, alongside traditional diplomacy, it is necessary to engage inter-parliamentary channels of communication, as well as women&rsquo;s and youth diplomacy.

&ldquo;Our country is doing much in this regard. Over the past few years alone, Turkmenistan has hosted a number of major events of this orientation, including representative international and regional forums. At the same time, we proceed from the understanding that people&rsquo;s diplomacy can and should become an important support for official diplomacy, possessing additional levers of influence on political decision-making,&rdquo; said the National Leader of the Turkmen people.

Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov also called on the distinguished audience of the forum to use the media exclusively for constructive purposes.

&ldquo;Information dialogue also plays a crucial role in establishing respectful and constructive interstate relations. We view it as an important component of our Peace and Trust initiative, as well as the global formula put forward by Turkmenistan several years ago: dialogue is a guarantee of peace. Mass media must be used exclusively for constructive purposes,&rdquo; stated the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty.

For these purposes, the National Leader of the Turkmen people highlighted the particular need to establish a reliable barrier against cybercrime and the dissemination of biased materials in the media space.

On December 14, Turkmenistan solemnly celebrated the Day of Oil, Gas, and Geology Workers. On this occasion, a conference titled &ldquo;Achievements in the Oil and Gas Sector in the Year of International Peace and Trust&rdquo; was held in the conference hall of the main building of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s oil and gas complex.

The forum, dedicated to the professional holiday celebrated after International Neutrality Day, began with the reading of a congratulatory message from the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, addressed to the workers of independent and neutral Turkmenistan in the oil, gas, and geological sectors. The message emphasized that, thanks to the diligent and purposeful work of oil workers, gas specialists, and geologists, significant achievements have been reached in the industry, and the ongoing comprehensive efforts contribute to strengthening the country&rsquo;s position among the world&rsquo;s leading states in terms of hydrocarbon resources.

It was also noted that the implementation of major international projects is aimed at ensuring that the nation&rsquo;s hydrocarbon wealth primarily serves the welfare of the people, improves the lives of future generations, and benefits neighboring countries. One of the priority tasks of the state&rsquo;s energy policy is to diversify the sector&rsquo;s export capacities and create multipurpose pipeline systems. These measures are intended to strengthen energy security, support regional well-being, and promote economically stable development. The conference participants listened to the President&rsquo;s congratulatory message with great enthusiasm.

The Day of Oil, Gas, and Geology Workers Celebrated with Ceremony

As is well known, every year on December 14 Turkmenistan solemnly celebrates the Day of Workers of the Oil and Gas Industry and Geology. On this occasion, the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, sent a congratulatory message to the country&rsquo;s oil workers, gas workers, and geologists.

The congratulatory message of the President of Turkmenistan states:

&ldquo;Dear oil workers, gas workers, and geologists!

I sincerely congratulate you on the Day of Workers of the Oil and Gas Industry and Geology, which is widely celebrated in our independent, permanently neutral Motherland.

Thanks to the results of your devoted and purposeful work, great achievements are being attained in the oil and gas sector of our economy. The comprehensive activities carried out in this field help strengthen our country&rsquo;s position among the world&rsquo;s leading states in terms of hydrocarbon reserves. By launching major international projects in this area, we set important objectives to ensure that hydrocarbon resources primarily serve the prosperous life of our people, future generations, as well as the well-being of the peoples of neighboring countries.

Based on the initiatives of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag, on December 14, 2009, the Turkmenistan&ndash;China international gas pipeline was put into operation. This date, written in golden letters in the pages of history, acquired special significance as the Day of Workers of the Oil and Gas Industry and Geology in our country. In accordance with the national and state programs adopted for the comprehensive development of our stable Motherland, during the era of the Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State, large-scale work is being carried out to create major industrial complexes, gas transportation systems, and to develop promising oil and gas fields.

Among the achievements of the sector are the discovery of new oil and gas fields in various regions of our country, the operation of the Turkmenistan&ndash;China and East&ndash;West gas pipelines, as well as the implementation of the project of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India international gas pipeline. In the Year of International Peace and Trust, the blessing given by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag, for the construction of an important section of this project&mdash;the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat gas pipeline along the &ldquo;White Road of Arkadag&rdquo;&mdash;became another example of our commitment to ensuring the long-term development of countries and promoting sustainable growth in the region.

Dear oil workers, gas workers, and geologists!

The Galkynysh gas field, discovered as a result of the dedicated exploration efforts of Turkmen geologists and occupying one of the leading positions in the world in terms of fuel resource reserves, has enormous economic significance for both our country and the region as a whole. The phased development of this field opens up new opportunities to expand the geography of exports of Turkmen natural gas to international markets. At present, the number of countries expressing interest in Turkmen energy resources is steadily increasing. World-renowned companies and international financial institutions are showing great interest in establishing cooperation with our country in this area and directing investments into it. The creation of a favorable investment environment for the effective development of licensed offshore blocks in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea is also distinguished by its attractiveness.

In accordance with the &ldquo;Program of Socio-Economic Development of Turkmenistan for 2022&ndash;2028&rdquo; and the &ldquo;National Program of Socio-Economic Development of Turkmenistan for 2022&ndash;2052 &lsquo;Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State,&rsquo;&rdquo; the implementation of comprehensive measures aimed at further increasing productivity in the country&rsquo;s oil and gas industry is envisaged. The successful development of oil and gas fields in our Motherland, which is extremely rich in natural resources, demonstrates the high pace of work being carried out in this sector. Ensuring compliance with environmental protection requirements during the development of fields, extraction, processing, and transportation of hydrocarbons, carrying out these activities in accordance with high environmental standards, and reducing their impact on climate change are among the most important tasks. I am firmly confident that the workers of the oil and gas industry and geology, mastering advanced global experience, will continue to make a worthy contribution to fulfilling Turkmenistan&rsquo;s obligations in this field.

Dear workers of the oil and gas industry and geology!

Independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan seeks to direct its natural resources not only toward national interests but also toward promoting the well-being of the peoples of the region and the world. Therefore, developing the export potential of the sector through diversification and creating a multi-vector pipeline system are among the priority areas of our state&rsquo;s energy policy. The projects we are implementing are aimed at ensuring energy security, improving the welfare of the countries of the region, and forming a foundation for sustainable economic development. We will continue this work consistently in the future.

Dear oil workers, gas workers, and geologists!

Once again, I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday. I wish all of you strong health, family well-being, and great success in your work.&rdquo;

Turkmenistan and Russia Aim to Develop Interstate Cooperation

Based on the Decree of the President of Turkmenistan, the Day of Workers of the Oil and Gas Industry and Geology, celebrated annually in our country since 15 January 2010, carries great historical and political significance. This date is closely connected with the launch of the Turkmenistan&ndash;China gas pipeline, which was inaugurated on 14 December 2009 during the tenure of our National Leader, Hero Arkadag, as Head of State. With the commissioning of this modern gas system, Turkmenistan&rsquo;s blue fuel opened its historic route, and today this day is celebrated as the holiday of the national energy industry.

A long-term vision for energy policy

The energy policy implemented under the leadership of esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov aims at the rapid development of the oil and gas sector &mdash; the backbone of the national economy &mdash; and its successful integration into the international energy space. Energy projects not only generate economic benefits but also play an important role in strengthening regional and global energy security.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s vast hydrocarbon reserves attract great global interest. Therefore, the country is expanding cooperation with leading oil and gas companies and reputable financial institutions. Establishing new infrastructure that meets the modern demands of energy security is one of the key objectives.

&ldquo;Galkynysh&rdquo; &mdash; a field of global significance

The &ldquo;Galkynysh&rdquo; field, one of the largest gas fields in the world, deserves special attention for its political and economic importance. Its phased development expands the opportunities for Turkmen gas to enter international markets. Today, demand for Turkmen energy resources is high, and international companies show great interest in enhancing cooperation with our country. Thus, Turkmenistan&rsquo;s diversified export strategy aligns with increasing natural gas production and expanding gas-chemical output.

Modern gas-chemical complexes built and commissioned in recent years have broadened the country&rsquo;s export potential and paved the way for the production of high value-added products.

Key areas of the Programme until 2030

According to the &ldquo;Programme for the Development of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s Oil and Gas Industry until 2030&rdquo;, work is successfully continuing to expand production capacity, implement new technologies, and widely use digital systems. Innovative solutions are actively applied at oil and gas fields, increasing productivity. Great importance is attached to environmental protection, reduction of methane emissions, and contributing to addressing global climate challenges.

Turkmenistan actively participates in international environmental initiatives. At the UN COP28 Conference in Dubai, the country officially announced its accession to the Global Methane Pledge. This decision set new tasks for the oil and gas sector, and our specialists are diligently working toward these goals.

New fields, new projects, world-class achievements

The newly discovered oil fields in the southwest of the country, the gas pipelines &ldquo;Turkmenistan&ndash;China&rdquo; and &ldquo;East&ndash;West&rdquo;, and the ongoing construction of the international TAPI gas pipeline are important milestones in Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy history.

The number of countries expressing interest in Turkmen energy resources increases yearly, proving the correctness of the country&#39;s multi-vector export policy.

International Forum &ldquo;Turkmenistan Oil and Gas &mdash; OGT 2025&rdquo;: records and achievements

The 30th International Conference and Exhibition &ldquo;Turkmenistan Oil and Gas &mdash; OGT 2025&rdquo;, held in Ashgabat on 22&ndash;24 October 2025 under the slogan &ldquo;Energy. Innovation. Development.&rdquo; clearly demonstrated once again the international success of the country&rsquo;s energy industry.

The participation of more than 1,400 representatives from 70 countries reflects the high level of global confidence. Over 100 companies took part in the exhibition, which is a 45% increase compared to last year.

Speeches by leaders of global energy giants such as DEWA, ENOC, S&amp;P Global, IGU, BOTAŞ, and SOCAR elevated the prestige of the event even further.

The glory of international cooperation dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Neutrality

Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s Permanent Neutrality, the forum once again demonstrated the solid foundation of international cooperation. The development of the Galkynysh field, the TAPI project, and the exploration of new offshore blocks in the Caspian Sea represent effective steps of this policy.

At the OGT Awards Gala ceremony, companies contributing to innovation and consistent cooperation were honored. It was also announced that preparations for OGT 2026 have begun, with priority directions such as artificial intelligence, hydrogen energy, and renewable energy to be highlighted at the next forum.

The Day of Oil and Gas Industry and Geology Workers is not only a professional holiday but also a shining reflection of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy development, international cooperation and economic prosperity.

Thanks to the dedicated work of thousands of specialists, the country&rsquo;s energy projects are turning into achievements of global scale.

We wholeheartedly congratulate all oil workers, gas industry employees and geologists of Turkmenistan on this great holiday and wish them continued success, new milestones and new major projects!

The great holiday of the Oil and Gas industry — the glorious day of Turkmenistan’s energy development

Our people are celebrating with festive spirit the glorious 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality, as well as International Neutrality Day, which is marked by significant achievements across the country. One of the industrial giants that contributed its labor achievements in honor of this holiday is the State Concern &ldquo;Turkmennebit.&rdquo;

This concern, one of the largest industrial and economic associations in the country, carries out extensive work in the exploration and industrial development of oil and gas fields throughout our great homeland. The activities of the concern&rsquo;s production units in the Balkan region are particularly important in implementing the objectives set forth in the &ldquo;Turkmenistan Oil and Gas Industry Development Program until 2030.&rdquo;

According to experts, among the leading enterprises, the &ldquo;Nebitgazburawlayysh&rdquo; trust of the concern stands out. Recently, the trust&rsquo;s labor collectives successfully completed drilling three wells at the Uzynada field in the Caspian coastal zone and put them into operation, which became a significant labor contribution to the 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality.

Wells 72 and 86 of the &ldquo;Goturdepe&rdquo; Drilling Operations Department produce 44 and 43 tons of gas condensate per day, respectively, much to the satisfaction of the specialists. In addition, well 87 of the &ldquo;Ekerem&rdquo; Drilling Operations Department at the Uzynada field, with a design depth of 6,800 meters, produces over 45 tons of gas condensate per day. After technical and commissioning work, these productive wells were handed over to the oil workers of the &ldquo;Gumdagnebit&rdquo; Department of the &ldquo;Nebitgazchykarish&rdquo; trust.

It is noteworthy that modern ZJ70DB drilling rigs, purchased from the People&rsquo;s Republic of China at the initiative of the esteemed President, were used in the drilling process. This significantly increased the volume of extracted valuable raw materials and had a strong positive impact on the performance of the industry. The high pace of work strengthens specialists&rsquo; confidence that even greater achievements will be reached in the future.

Diligent specialists, equipped with modern drilling rigs and advanced technologies, express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to our National Leader, Hero Arkadag, and Arkadagly Hero Serdar for creating the conditions and opportunities for productive work.

President of Turkmenistan and Foreign Guests laid flowers at the Monument of Neutrality

On December 12, the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, congratulated the nation on International Neutrality Day and on the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent neutrality.

&ldquo;From the very first days of independence, having chosen a foreign policy course and a national path aimed at integration into the system of international relations, Turkmenistan, on December 12, 1995, with broad support from the international community and in accordance with a historic United Nations General Assembly Resolution, acquired the legal status of permanent neutrality. This neutrality has opened new opportunities for our country, located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe in the heart of the Great Silk Road, for developing large-scale cooperation within the framework of our foreign policy strategy, proposing and implementing initiatives that fully support and unite the efforts of the international community in the areas of universal peace, security, and sustainable development.

In a short period in the modern history of our beloved homeland, glorious pages have been written, and our neutral country has become a reliable partner and a center of peacemaking. At the initiative of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag, a UN Regional Center for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia was opened in Ashgabat. Turkmenistan has repeatedly been elected Vice-Chair of the UN General Assembly and has participated in various UN bodies,&rdquo; said the Head of State.

&ldquo;In the era of the Revival of a new epoch of a powerful state, we firmly and consistently adhere to our international obligations and the principles of international law, realize the country&rsquo;s geopolitical and geo-economic potential for the sake of a peaceful life and constructive development, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation. In accordance with our foreign policy strategy, we place great importance on further strengthening relations with reputable international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as with countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Holding the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries at a high level in the National Tourist Zone &lsquo;Avaza&rsquo; and the unanimous adoption of the &lsquo;Avaza Political Declaration&rsquo; at the 18th plenary meeting of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the start of construction of the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat gas pipeline with the blessing of Hero Arkadag, are historic events that confirm the high international authority of our state, which pursues a policy of peace, friendship, fraternity, and cooperation, and the immense importance of our neutrality for the entire international community,&rdquo; the President noted.

Serdar Berdimuhamedow wished the people of the country good health, a peaceful and prosperous life, inexhaustible happiness, and great success in their work for the further prosperity of Turkmenistan.

Large-Scale exhibition opens in Ashgabat in honor of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s Neutrality

A solemn ceremony was held in the capital of Turkmenistan to inaugurate the Monument to the 30th Anniversary of Neutrality and to raise the flags on the square in front of it. The ceremony featured a speech by the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Rashid Meredov.

In his address, the head of the foreign policy department expressed deep gratitude to all the delegations that arrived in Ashgabat to participate in the Forum of Peace and Trust, emphasizing that their presence reflects a shared commitment to the ideals of humanism and justice.

It is worth noting that the Forum holds special significance, as it is dedicated to several key dates and initiatives at once: the International Year of Peace and Trust 2025, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly at Turkmenistan&rsquo;s initiative and unanimously supported by all UN member states; the International Day of Neutrality; and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Neutral Turkmenistan.

It is especially symbolic that the unveiling of this commemorative monument takes place in the year when the UN celebrates its 80th anniversary. The new complex is a tribute to many years of global efforts to promote peace, security, and cooperation. The monument reflects Turkmenistan&rsquo;s concept of neutrality, embodying friendship, mutual understanding, trust, unity, and solidarity.

&ldquo;The opening of the monument also symbolizes the historic path chosen by the country and the fundamental role of neutrality in shaping both domestic and foreign policy. Guided by this principled status, Turkmenistan implements national and international programs aimed at sustainable development, combating climate change, protecting human rights, and expanding multilateral cooperation,&rdquo; said Rashid Meredov.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that although the complex is located in Ashgabat, the capital of neutral Turkmenistan, its message extends far beyond national borders.

&ldquo;It is conceived as an open space for all peoples, a reminder that every nation has the right to peace, security, and development through dialogue rather than confrontation. In international practice, neutrality is often called a &lsquo;bridge of trust,&rsquo; a structure that unites rather than divides. Turkmenistan adheres to this very approach in its foreign policy, guided by the UN Charter, upholding the sovereignty of all states, and promoting a culture of peaceful cooperation,&rdquo; stated Rashid Meredov.

&ldquo;Turkmenistan, as a country with the legal status of permanent neutrality, recognized three times by the United Nations, makes a worthy contribution to ensuring peace and sustainable development on the planet. Over the past 30 years, permanent neutrality has become an important instrument for strengthening our sovereignty and shaping the foreign policy strategy of the state.

The country&rsquo;s efforts to strengthen global security and develop international cooperation are reflected in its initiatives on the international stage.

The high international authority of independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan and its significant contribution to ensuring peace, security, and sustainable development facilitate the successful implementation of state and national programs aimed at the prosperity of the Motherland, as well as progressive reforms in all spheres of the country&rsquo;s life. Our neutral homeland, rapidly developing, implements these programs while participating in large-scale projects of international significance. This is a vivid example of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s commitment to strengthening long-term and multilateral cooperation,&rdquo; the President emphasized.

The Head of State wished the participants of the exhibition good health and great success in their noble work in strengthening international cooperation, friendship, and brotherhood.
