A holiday of health

Cycling improves the human health and extends life. The UN General Assembly adopted the Resolution ‘Integration of mainstream bicycling into public transportation systems for sustainable development’ at the 61st plenary meeting of its 76th Session at the initiative of Turkmenistan. World Health Day is celebrated annually on April 7. This holiday includes the measures aimed at protecting the national health and preventing diseases. Cycling marathons are among those measures. They increase significance of the holiday.

A centre of new technologies

Turkmenistan has reached great heights and is looking forward to new horizons of development under the wise leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov. This fact is inextricably linked to the concern for the progress of science and education at the state level. To date, digital technologies are increasingly integrated into our life. The modern services and opportunities, provided in trade, health, transport, and other spheres, are of great importance in improving the welfare of our people.

Achievements in the education system

The achievements of the younger generations are the achievements of our country, which has entered the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. Excellent conditions are created for our young people to receive modern education, to choose their future profession, to make full use of their abilities, and to implement their plans in life. Taking into account the need to prepare qualified professionals to achieve the tasks set in the national education system, a thoughtful approach is taken to this sphere. Excellent opportunities are created in different corners of the country to implement those important tasks. Thanks to these opportunities, the number of students admitted to high and secondary vocational schools is increasing year by year.

Within the important work

Impressive work is underway on environmental protection in our country under the leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The policy of Turkmenistan in the field of ecology and environmental protection and the initiatives promoted by the President of Turkmenistan are of great interest to the world community. This fact demonstrates that the positive policy of Turkmenistan in this sphere conforms to the international interests. The urgency of protecting the environment and preventing the climate change is primary due to the fact that these issues are the focus in the region and in the world included in the Sustainable Development Goals.

An inexhaustible treasure of the world literature

Thanks to the concern of our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan has become one of the most developed countries widely recognized in the world community. In fact, the Turkmen people are known for their noble qualities of bravery, selflessness, humanitarianism, eloquence, and generosity since ancient times. At those times, the Turkmen people, who lived at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road, were widely known for their fine carpets, beautiful horses, dutars, and vaharman melons.

A valuable guide

Our ancestors had a saying ‘a healthy pear does not fall down the tree’. They knew that health is the most valuable wealth in the human life. That is why they tried to prevent diseases and disorders through various methods. Avicenna (known in the country as Lukman Hekim) devoted most of his life to making medicine for different diseases and left valuable information about protecting the human health in his works. To date, the multi-volume encyclopaedic work ‘Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan’ by our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov describes thousands of species of medicinal plants growing in our country and their benefits. This work is enough to strengthen the human body, to prevent diseases and to prolong life.

On the eve of the prestigious tournament

The national sambo team of Turkmenistan has recently held the training sessions at the World Sambo Academy in Kstovo, the Russian Federation. The team included 24 athletes. The event took place on March 10–24. After the training sessions, the national sambo team of Turkmenistan will compete in the Sambo Founders Cup to be held in Moscow. The prestigious tournament will become an important part of preparation for the 2025 World Sambo Championships to be held in the Turkmen capital.

The builders of the future

The harmonious development of all sectors of the national economy and the bright future of the people depend on the smart, educated, moral and cultured younger generations with broad worldview. That is why there is great concern at the state level for the development of young people into successful individuals in Turkmenistan. Impressive work is underway to implement the state youth policy in the year ‘Happy Youth with Arkadag Serdar’. We will work tirelessly to promote the content and importance of the state youth policy put forward in our beloved country under the wise leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov. Moreover, a new generation of young people, who follow the example of our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and consider service to the Motherland to be the meaning of their lives, has been formed in Turkmenistan. The main goals and principles of the Turkmen youth are to study, learn, create and justify the trust for the great future of our Motherland and for the happiness of our people.

Tree means life and wealth

The tree-planting traditions are considered a sacred duty in Turkmenistan. Those traditions are cherished in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. The spring tree-planting campaign in the country is a worthy continuation of the ecological attitude that has become a noble tradition. At the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on March 10, the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed the Decree on holding a nationwide tree-planting campaign in Turkmenistan. According to the document, to turn the country into a blossoming garden, to enhance the beauty of its nature and to implement the National Forestry Programme of Turkmenistan for 2021–2025, it is planned to plant 3 million seedlings of various trees and vines throughout the country this year. Of these, 1.5 million were planted during the spring planting campaign.

A poet of his people

The literary heritage of Magtymguly Pyragy has been studied in detail in the years of independence. Our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted, ‘Magtymguly induced his contemporaries and people to realize the source of a just society, a happy life, to understand the essence of what was happening. The great poet wished his people to live a peaceful and prosperous life, to be smart and educated, and to improve the culture. He left a treasury of wonderful poems full of wisdom and wonderful feelings for the nation’. In the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state, great importance is attached to the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birthday of the poet in 2024. Magtymguly wrote the poems full of wisdom and wonderful feelings for the Turkmen people. The value of the thinker's world of poetry has gone beyond the national boundaries and has become the treasure of humanity. The works by Magtymguly Pyragy give spiritual pleasure not only to the Turkmen people, but also to the whole world. At the same time, the poet's creativity reflects on the issues related to life. The thinker wanted to see his people and country free and flourishing.

Brothers have no equals

The Atabaev brothers, Maksat, Saparmyrat and Yusup, made up the top three in the Chess League of Turkmenistan. There was the heat of competition between three brothers in the League for 14 strongest chess players. Thus, Maksat Atabaev, a 29-year-old international grandmaster, who scored 2472 points in the FIDE rating, became the national champion. Although he was defeated by Shahruh Turaev in the first round, the champion won the title with 10.5 out of 13 possible points. Saparmyrat Atabaev, a 24-year-old international master (2448 points in the FIDE rating) scored 10 points at the tournament. Yusup Atabaev received the title of an international grandmaster a month ago and lost half a point to the winner. Eventually, additional coefficient demonstrated that Saparmyrat took the second place.

International prestige of the country

To date, independent, permanently neutral Turkmenistan is recognized as a country that implements the policy aimed at promoting global peace and security. Our country supports international efforts in solving the important issues through the humanitarian and friendly policy.

Magtymguly Pyragy about health

Our national culture and heritage are cherished in the revival of the new epoch of the powerful state. Turkmenistan is preparing to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the birthday of Magtymguly Pyragy, the great Turkmen thinker and poet. Moreover, the poet's life and work are studied in depth. The issue of human health occupies an important place in the poetry of Magtymguly Pyragy. In his literary works, our wise poet identifies health, inspiration, and a healthy lifestyle among the main things. He encouraged appreciating health and promoting it throughout the life in the lines, ‘Know the value of health before falling ill’, ‘Recreation is the pleasure of the soul, and health is its sultan’. The principles of our wise ancestors are the model for people of all ages.
