In January 2024, a draft agreement regulating educational and organizational matters was prepared, after which the parties began its detailed development.
During the current meeting, participants updated the legal aspects of the document and shared experiences in developing modern curricula. Particular attention was paid to the training of highly qualified bachelor's degree students in the fields of Oil and Gas Engineering and Chemical Engineering, which are of strategic importance to Turkmenistan's energy sector.
The parties emphasized that the creation of the center will be an important step in providing the oil and gas industry with professional personnel and will boost scientific and technological exchange.
In conclusion, the participants noted the successful results of Turkmenistan's policy to expand international ties in science and education, expressing gratitude to the country's leadership for its comprehensive support of such initiatives.
