In accordance with the adopted programs, work is also underway to reform the systems of science and education, modernize production, the leader of the nation noted. Effective measures are being taken to digitize and industrialize the country, a market economy is being formed, and oil and gas fields are being developed.
The construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan transmission line and the TAPI gas pipeline is ongoing, and other international projects are being developed. In our sovereign Fatherland, the head of state noted, large-scale construction of large industrial and social facilities has been launched.
The policy of supporting private entrepreneurs and their wide involvement in the implementation of economic transformations is being consistently implemented. But, despite this, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov pointed out, in some industries, unfortunately, many issues remain unresolved. But their solution directly depends on the work of the respective leaders.
