Upon arrival, members of the pilgrimage group expressed sincere gratitude to Arkadagly Haji Serdar and the National Leader of the Turkmen people Haji Arkadag for the care and assistance from the state in performing religious rites.

In the era of the Revival of a new era of a powerful state, Turkmenistan provides all conditions and opportunities to maintain the continuity of the ideals of humanism and adherence to the noble traditions that have developed since ancient times. Such measures clearly demonstrate that the principles laid down by our wise ancestors are now finding a worthy continuation thanks to the support of the head of state and Hero Arkadag.

As is known, by the decision of Arkadagly Haji Serdar, a group of our compatriots was sent to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj, visiting Mecca and Medina. And today, upon returning to their homeland, they were warmly welcomed. This is another confirmation of the continuity of the ancient noble traditions of our people.

Turkmen citizens who performed all the rituals during the Hajj expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the care shown at the state level for the pilgrims.

As before, now, in the International Year of Peace and Trust, a large group of our compatriots, with the assistance and support of Arkadagly Haji Serdar and Haji Arkadag, made a pilgrimage to the two holy places of the Islamic world in the cities of Mecca and Medina.

Thus, a group of Turkmen citizens fulfilled all religious requirements during the Hajj. They expressed great gratitude for the opportunity that allowed them to realize their dream. The pilgrims performed all the rituals together with representatives of the clergy, which emphasizes the importance of correct and consistent implementation of religious dogmas. Thus, our compatriots duly fulfilled all the requirements when visiting holy places.

The total number of pilgrims from Turkmenistan who went to perform the hajj to Mecca and Medina was about 3 thousand. They were divided into eight groups and visited the main shrines of Islam in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia according to the planned program. All this clearly demonstrates the measures taken in our country to support noble principles, ensure the well-being of citizens, as well as the opportunities for them to perform sacred rites.

Our compatriots, who visited the sacred Kaaba in the city of Mecca and the mosque of the Prophet Muhammad in the city of Medina during the Hajj, expressed sincere gratitude for the assistance in this on the part of the state and assured that they would make every effort to make a worthy contribution to the further development and prosperity of the Fatherland, the establishment of the principles of peace and friendship.

Today, as a result of the successful implementation of the noble undertakings of Haji Arkadag under the far-sighted leadership of Arkadagly Haji Serdar, the original national traditions and customs of our wise ancestors are being continued in accordance with the spirit of the times. This fully demonstrates the continuity of the ancient principles of Turkmen statehood that have been perfected throughout the glorious history of our people. The measures taken in the country in this direction strengthen the unity of the people, and allow us to educate the younger generation in the spirit of patriotism and hard work.

In short, all this shows that every day of the International Year of Peace and Trust is filled with significant events and that the historically established noble principles of our people still serve as an example for the whole world and are gaining continuity. Our compatriots, who made the pilgrimage with the assistance of the state and filled with a sense of pride, expressed boundless gratitude to Haji Arkadag and Arkadagly Haji Serdar for the opportunity provided.

Thus, thanks to the conditions created, our citizens, who have a good goal, visited the holy land, where they performed all the rituals of the Hajj. This clearly demonstrates the active concern shown at the state level for the well-being of people and the embodiment of their spiritual aspirations.

Our compatriots who made the pilgrimage - Hajj, received a letter of thanks in the name of the Hero Hadji Arkadag and Arkadagly Hadji Serdar.

May Allah accept your pilgrimage, your good prayers and sadaqah!

On the sidelines of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers meeting, a resolution was unanimously adopted on the initiative of Turkmenistan

Hardworking tenant farmers delivered more than 1 million tons of wheat to the Motherland&#39;s harman . This is a clear result of the hard work of brave rural workers and the efforts of the state to comprehensively develop the country&#39;s agricultural sector.

At present, the harvesting is in full swing in the fields of the Fatherland. Thanks to the coordinated work of tenants, machine operators and drivers, the volume of harvested wheat is steadily increasing. The rate of grain harvesting is not decreasing.

The country is carrying out comprehensive work to help farmers grow rich harvests and develop agriculture on a scientific basis. Regular purchase of powerful agricultural machinery from leading global manufacturers, provision of rural workers with mineral fertilizers and high-quality seeds, as well as timely payments for the harvested crop inspire farmers to achieve high labor victories.

The current success is another example of the effective implementation of large-scale reforms in the agro-industrial complex, initiated by Hero Arkadag and now continued under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov . Transformations in the agricultural sector contribute to strengthening food abundance in the country, the introduction of scientific achievements and a digital system in production.

The main directions of state policy in this area concern the modern organization of work, the wide involvement of private producers, and the increase in the production of various types of agricultural products.

The high rate of grain harvesting this year is a clear result of comprehensive measures to technically equip and modernize the industry infrastructure, and introduce advanced technologies. Thanks to this, the country&#39;s hardworking farmers have grown a rich wheat harvest.

It should be noted that President Serdar Berdimuhamedov recently visited the farmers&#39; association named after Magtymguly in the Ak Bugday district of the Ahal velayat. The head of state got acquainted with the work of the tenant and blessed him for the harvest, thereby inspiring the country&#39;s grain growers to new labor achievements.

The construction of modern grain storage facilities and flour mills in all regions testifies to the great importance attached to the cultivation, processing and storage of this agricultural crop.

As a result of round-the-clock work during the harvest period, thousands of tons of wheat arrive at the receiving points every day. Payments for the harvested crop are made on time. This encourages farmers to collect the wheat to the last grain and to fulfill their contractual obligations in full.

During the harvesting season, hundreds of mobile repair and mechanical teams serve grain growers, supplying them with everything they need - fuel, lubricants, spare parts for equipment. At the field camps, all conditions for rest have been created for machine operators, drivers and other workers participating in the mowing.

The new grain harvest arrives at receiving points &ndash; warehouses and elevators equipped with modern equipment. In order to consolidate the achieved results, efforts are being made to maintain the harvest rate. This strengthens the confidence of grain growers in the successful completion of the tasks set.

The current achievement of the farmers , who have delivered more than 1 million tons of wheat to the state, is a worthy labor gift for the 30th anniversary of the permanent neutrality of our beloved Fatherland.

The events continued at the Ak bugda&yacute; National Museum, the world&#39;s first and only wheat museum, in a place where, according to irrefutable evidence from scientists, the oldest center of irrigated agriculture was located. The National Museum was opened in July 2005. In its architectural embodiment, this unique building resembles a sheaf of wheat, which is crowned by a giant golden ear reaching towards the sky.

The wheat grains, grown on Turkmen soil in the 5th millennium BC (seven thousand years ago), discovered in 1904 by the expedition of the American geologist Raphael Pampelly, are the main exhibit of the unique collection collected here.

They preserve and increase the artistic and intellectual values accumulated over centuries, unique historical evidence and rarities.

It should be noted that this area is effectively developing thanks to the tireless care of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The ancient history of the Turkmen people, their unique culture, traditions and customs, the unprecedented achievements of the state in the modern era - all this is embodied in the richest museum expositions.

Of great importance are also the historical and cultural monuments of Turkmenistan, which are an important component of the world cultural heritage and evidence of the rich history and cultural diversity of the region. It is known that our land is home to such unique monuments and natural attractions as Altyn-Depe, Namazga-Depe, Gonur-Depe, Anew, Ancient Merv, Koneurgench, Kone Nusay, Paryzdepe, Shahrislam, Abiverd, Dehistan, Serahs, Darvaza and others. They are a valuable source of information for studying ancient civilizations, developing cultural ties and understanding the place of Turkmenistan in world history. In this regard, the interest of compatriots, as well as foreign guests, in the heritage of our independent Fatherland is growing year after year. There has also been a positive trend in attendance at the country&#39;s museums, including those located in the open air.

The participants focused special attention on improving the activities to preserve and enhance the unique spiritual wealth of our people, as well as the role of museums in such an important matter.

In the evening, artists from the Kaahka etrap folk theater were invited to show the play &quot;Ş&uuml;k&uuml;r bagşy&quot;. In this production, the main character, Shukur, went to a foreign country to free his brother from captivity, taking a dutar with him instead of a weapon, since he preferred peace to violence. Believing in the power of music, he won the competition and achieved the release of his older brother.

The celebrations continued at the Culture House of Anew City, where a joint concert of groups from the special arts school and children&#39;s art schools of the Ahal velayat took place.

It should be noted that the creative and life path of our outstanding artists, bagshis, musicians and poets is especially important for nurturing a love for national culture, art and literature in the younger generation.

The cultural centers of the city of Anew, Baherden and Gokdepe etraps will also open their doors to masters of culture and art, musical and dance groups, including children&#39;s groups, from the cities of Ashgabat and Arkadag, Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap and Mary velayats.
