In­dust­rial sector of Turk­me­nis­tan: In­novations and Furt­her Develop­ment

In­dust­ry is a key sector of the na­tio­nal econo­my. The rich na­tu­ral re­sources of the count­ry, advanced pro­ducti­on and trans­port inf­rast­ructu­re turn Turk­me­nis­tan in­to a po­wer­ful sta­te. In this re­gard, this sector re­mains a prio­ri­ty for the na­tio­nal econo­mic develop­ment; diver­si­fication, the en­hanced com­pe­ti­tiveness of goods, the adop­tion of advanced techno­lo­gies, the const­ructi­on of new en­terp­ri­ses and the mo­der­ni­sa­tion of exis­ting ones – all this cha­racte­ri­ses the prog­res­sive for­ma­tion of Turk­me­nis­tan’s in­dust­ry. Un­der the far-sigh­ted and wi­se lea­ders­hip of the He­ro-Ar­ka­dag, Turk­men econo­my has ma­de a tre­men­dous prog­ress in a short ti­me, and now our count­ry is en­hancing its econo­mic strength. In this re­gard, our in­dust­ry, con­sis­ting of comp­lex sectors, is the ba­sic fra­me­work of the na­tio­nal econo­my. Dy­na­mic develop­ment is achieved through an ef­fective invest­ment po­licy. In accor­dance with the Socioecono­mic Develop­ment Prog­ram­me of the Pre­si­dent of Turk­me­nis­tan for 2019–2025, ma­jor pro­jects to increa­se the pro­ducti­on capacity of the in­dust­rial sector are being imp­le­men­ted.

This document sets forth lar­ge-scale goals and ob­jectives, the imp­le­men­ta­tion of which is to bring the count­ry to a new sta­ge of develop­ment. In this re­gard, it is quite na­tu­ral that the lea­der of the na­tion re­lies on the youn­ger ge­ne­ra­tion, who grew up in the con­di­tions of sovereign develop­ment and was nur­tu­red on the lof­ty crea­tive ideas of in­de­pen­dence. “I place special ho­pe on our youth! Because the youn­ger ge­ne­ra­tion is the em­bo­di­ment of all our ho­pes for the fu­tu­re. Everyt­hing we are doing to­day is being do­ne for our young peop­le. Most of them are as old as our in­de­pen­dent Turk­me­nis­tan. So­on they will become ma­tu­re citi­zens of our count­ry who will ta­ke an active part in ful­fil­ling the tasks we have as­sig­ned. They will have to de­ter­mi­ne the furt­her path of our Mot­her­land,” Pre­si­dent Gurbanguly Ber­di­mu­ha­me­dov sa­id in his speech.
