The head of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov congratulated on the Caspian Sea Day, celebrated in our country at a high level annually on August 12 to mark the entry into force of the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea, as well as on the start of the Scientific and Practical Conference &quot;The Caspian Sea - the sea of friendship and peace&quot;!

&quot;Turkmenistan regularly puts forward constructive initiatives to build up trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian ties in the Caspian region, which find broad support among the coastal states. A significant step towards expanding cooperation between our countries is the holding of the first Caspian summit in Ashgabat, which has become a reliable foundation for the development of a comprehensive partnership. At the same time, such a significant event gave a significant impetus to the development of solutions on many issues of building mutually agreed actions in the region. At the same time, the Summit for the first time at the highest level considered the importance of developing documents that will lay the foundation for multifaceted cooperation in the Caspian area. Among them, in particular, are the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea and the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea.

In 2012, at the initiative of Turkmenistan, the first Caspian Environmental Forum was organized in the Avaza National Tourist Zone. It was then attended by delegations from relevant ministries of the countries of the region and authoritative high-level international structures, as well as prominent specialists and scientists. The very fact of holding this event clearly demonstrated the significant efforts made by our state in building up partnership in maintaining environmental well-being in the Caspian Sea.

Turkmenistan also puts forward relevant proposals to intensify energy, transport and logistics, industrial and trade cooperation between the Caspian countries through the effective use of the impressive transport and transit potential of the region. At the initiative of our country, the first Caspian Economic Forum was held in the Avaza National Tourist Zone on August 12, 2019. This event, aimed at expanding trade and economic ties between the littoral states, made it possible to identify new areas of partnership of mutual interest in all segments of the economy. New significant proposals for the continuation and constructive development of cooperation between the Caspian states were voiced during the sixth Caspian Summit, organized at a high level in Ashgabat in 2022,&rdquo; the President noted.

&ldquo;In September 2023, Turkmenistan, on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, made a proposal to create a &ldquo;Caspian Environmental Initiative&rdquo;. It is designed to promote substantive interaction at a high level on a wide range of issues related to the protection of the Caspian environment. We are convinced that the implementation of this initiative will serve as an important tool in consolidating efforts and subsequently taking more effective measures to ensure environmental well-being in the littoral countries.

The Avaza National Tourist Zone, located on the Turkmen coast of the ancient Khazar, is an example of consistent, environmentally sustainable development. Today, it has become a venue for holidays and other celebrations, international forums and official meetings aimed at strengthening and expanding the bonds of friendship, good neighborliness and positive partnership between all states.

Visual evidence of this is the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, which was recently successfully held in this beautiful corner, on the initiative of Turkmenistan.

This event was organized during the International Year of Peace and Trust, marked by the 30th anniversary of our country&#39;s acquisition of neutrality. And therefore, it is very significant in the context of consolidating efforts to continuously maintain peace, trust and friendship in the Caspian Sea,&quot; the head of state emphasized.

&quot;I am confident that the current Caspian Sea Day Forum, as well as the cultural and sports events dedicated to it, will make a significant contribution to expanding cooperation between the Caspian states and interested international organizations in protecting and studying the rich marine ecosystem and unique biodiversity of the Caspian Sea on a scientific basis, as well as significantly strengthening peace, friendship, brotherhood and trust in the region! Once again, I sincerely congratulate you on the Caspian Sea Day! I wish you good health, prosperity and great success in your work!&quot; - Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted in his congratulations.

The Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries was successfully held in the Avaza National Tourist Zone from August 5 to 8, 2025.

The forum has become an important international platform for the discussion of current issues by representatives of 32 landlocked countries. In the context of globalization and a changing world economy, the topic of development and integration of these states is of particular importance.

The Conference adopted the Avaza Programme of Action for developing countries for 2024&ndash;2034, which defines the strategic direction of their development for the next decade, as well as the Avaza Political Declaration. These documents represent international recognition of the problems specific to LLDCs and offer specific solutions aimed at developing infrastructure, trade relations, increasing resilience to climate change, and mobilizing financial resources.

This major UN event, which took place in our country, was widely covered by the world media.

As reported by the website of the National Information Agency of Uzbekistan, the agenda of the Conference included issues related to strengthening mutual transport links and simplification of trade operations, economic reforms, increasing resilience to climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

As noted on the pages of the international news agency Kazinform, the main goal of the Conference is to discuss ways to solve the structural and logistical problems of developing countries that do not have access to the sea, as well as to determine the directions for using their economic and transit potential.

The Forum participants discussed issues of expanding cooperation and comprehensive approaches to solving humanitarian, economic, social and environmental problems faced by landlocked states. As reported by the website of the Chinese news agency Xinhua, following the Conference, the Avaza Action Plan for 2034 was adopted, which is a specific plan to deepen cooperation and create conditions for sustainable development of the countries of the Global South.

The Turkish news agency Anadolu reports that the main goal of the Conference is to help unlock the potential of landlocked countries by expanding cooperation, developing innovative solutions, strengthening strategic partnerships and attracting investment.

The holding of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries in Turkmenistan coincided with the 30th anniversary of our Fatherland gaining legal status of neutrality. This gave the event a special diplomatic significance. As noted by &laquo; EU Reporter &rdquo;, the organization of the Conference in the National Tourist Zone &ldquo;Avaza&rdquo; is logical: Turkmenistan strives to turn its advantageous geographical position into a strategic advantage by developing transport corridors and infrastructure projects.

&laquo; EU Reporter also emphasizes that &ldquo;Turkmenistan, being a bridge between Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe, plays an important role in strengthening regional ties and promoting sustainable development.&rdquo;

The websites of the Mir TV channel and AzVision.az state that &quot;The policy of neutrality allows Turkmenistan to serve as a platform for effective dialogue.&quot; This creates favorable conditions for discussing the economic, social and environmental problems of landlocked countries.

Turkmenistan is actively implementing projects to diversify the capabilities of the Turkmenbashi International Sea Port, develop transport routes in the North-South and East-West directions, and expand international cooperation in the transport and logistics sector. These initiatives help landlocked developing countries reduce the cost of transporting goods and increase their competitiveness in the global economy.

UN Secretary-General Ant&oacute;nio Guterres has stressed the importance of economic diversification in landlocked countries, investment in high-value-added sectors and digital transformation.

&ldquo;Landlocked countries have enormous untapped potential. We must develop digital infrastructure and ensure equal access to technology, especially for women,&rdquo; said Antonio Guterres, according to News Central Asia &raquo;.

In addition, the Conference discussed transport and transit issues. The Avaza Action Programme places special emphasis on the development of sustainable transport corridors, simplification of customs procedures and digitalization of logistics.

The Forum also emphasized the importance of creating integrated transport systems and developing regional cooperation, which will help reduce transit costs and expand access to international markets.

Building resilience to climate change is also an important issue. The Conference decided to establish a Landlocked States Group under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This will help coordinate efforts and attract financial resources.

&ldquo;Central Asian countries have young populations and huge demographic potential, which opens up huge opportunities for economic development if investments are made in education, health and women&rsquo;s empowerment,&rdquo; Florence Bauer, regional director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), told News Central Asia.

As noted on the pages of the publication &ldquo;Newscentralasia.net&rdquo;, in developing countries without access to the sea, the participation of women in public administration and the economy is increasing.

Experts also stressed the need to strengthen social networks and expand access to services, which is one of the main conditions for sustainable development.

The press also draws attention to the trilateral meeting held within the framework of the Conference between the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ali Asadov.

The online publication &ldquo;News Central Asia&rdquo; reports that &ldquo;Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized that this format of cooperation between Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan has already been established and should continue on a regular basis in accordance with the demands of the times.&rdquo;

The State News Agency &quot;Azertag&quot; reports that &quot;during the first meeting in a trilateral format, issues of developing cultural, humanitarian and economic cooperation were discussed. Mutual interest was expressed in further expanding strategic cooperation in the transport, logistics and energy sectors as priority areas of the economic sphere.&quot;

The holding of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries in Turkmenistan marks the recognition of our country as a neutral and reliable partner in international affairs.

As noted on the pages of AzVision.az, this confirms the growing role of Turkmenistan in promoting peace, sustainable development and regional integration.

&ldquo;The choice of Avaza as the venue for the Conference confirms Turkmenistan&rsquo;s ambition to become a hub for international cooperation and dialogue, supporting the development of landlocked states,&rdquo; writes EU Reporter.

In addition, the Conference contributed to strengthening the international authority of Turkmenistan as a country capable of hosting large-scale international events and actively participating in solving global problems.

Thus, the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries was an important step in the global efforts to address the geographical and economic challenges faced by these countries. The adoption of the Avaza Programme of Action and the Avaza Political Declaration set a clear development plan for the next ten years.

The pages of the world media emphasize that the successful implementation of these initiatives largely depends on international solidarity, reform of the financial architecture, exchange of technologies and active involvement of the private sector in this activity.

Turkmenistan, as a peacekeeping neutral country, significantly strengthens its position in the international arena, making a significant contribution to the sustainable development of landlocked states.

Along with famous artists, young performers who are just beginning their creative path also performed at the festive concert. This became a confirmation of the inexhaustible talent of our people and the continuity of the development of national art.

One of the main features of this concert was the beautiful seascape, images created by interactive fountains, harmony of light, color and sound. A special festive atmosphere was created by video footage shown on large monitors in the center and around the stage.
