In a few days, Turkmenistan will host the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs). As TDH notes, this is an event of global significance associated with changes in the lives of over 570 million people living in 32 countries located on different continents.
The solution to their special problems associated with overcoming geographical isolation, expanding access to investment, world trade markets and integration into the world economy is closely linked to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals common to all mankind. The UN Conferences on LLDCs, held once a decade, are important platforms for analyzing the progress achieved in the development of these countries and defining an action program for the next decade.
At the 63rd plenary meeting of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly in New York on April 11, 2025, the Resolution "Additional information on the modalities of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries" was unanimously adopted, providing for its holding in August of this year in the Avaza National Tourist Zone. For our country, which is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its legal status of permanent neutrality recognized by the UN three times this year, the initiative to host this large-scale Forum means the consistent implementation of the constructive policy carried out under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, aimed at supporting international cooperation for sustainable development. The upcoming UN Conference will be aimed at strengthening partnerships, exchanging experiences, finding innovative solutions, mobilizing resources for infrastructure development and adaptation to climate change. Cooperation involves constructive interaction not only between LLDCs, transit countries and international structures, but also with various social forces.
As noted on the UN website, the Conference will actively interact with various groups, each of which presents its own points of view and innovative solutions designed to help unlock the potential of LLDCs.
As emphasized in the UN information, LLDCs are a growing market that unites 570 million people, and by 2060 their number is projected to exceed 1 billion, and is currently estimated at 836 billion US dollars.
Within the framework of the Conference, a Parliamentary Forum will be held with the participation of leaders and speakers of the LLDC parliaments. Based on its results, it is envisaged to adopt a document to promote sustainable development in landlocked developing countries in the coming decade.
Within the framework of the Conference, it is planned to hold many events of political, diplomatic, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian orientation. These include events dedicated to land transport and communications, the International Year of Peace and Trust, youth policy, sustainable energy, circular economy; thematic exhibitions; national days of the Central Asian states, as well as a gala concert of cultural figures and artists.
Maxim Bortnikov – Managing Director at the Center for the Implementation of the Principles of Sustainable Development of Gazprombank:
“The theme of the International Conference held in Ashgabat is rather topical, as evidenced by the composition of its participants, including representatives of government agencies, large international organizations, banks, big gas companies, scientists, leading specialists and experts in the oil and gas sphere.
«Dashoguzgazupjunchilik» ensures the efficient use of «blue fuel»
The gas workers of the «Dashoguzgazupjunchilik» department continue to provide reliable and uninterrupted gas supply to consumers in the northern region of our country. Despite the period of maximum loads, qualified specialists ensure the stable functioning of the gas distribution system of the velayat in the heating season.
Another well has been put into operation
An industrial flow of natural gas was obtained from a well drilled by the team of the Lebapnebitgazgözleg Expedition of the Türkmengeologiýa State Corporation at Tachmuradov site. This will be a worthy gift from the united team of the Expedition for the forthcoming large-scale holiday – the 33rd anniversary of Turkmenistan’s independence.
The new hydraulic device is distinguished by its efficiency
The Department of Geology and Geochemistry of Yagshigeldi Kakayev International University of Oil and Gas has developed an “Innovative hydraulic device for displacing air from the cavities of drill pipes”.
Since the beginning of 2025, the “Nebitgazchykarysh” Trust of the State Concern “Turkmennebit” has produced over 1.2 million tons of oil
