The President of Turkmenistan took part in a large-scale landscaping campaign

Today in Turkmenistan, with the participation of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, a large-scale planting campaign was launched as part of the implementation of the National Forest Program.

Mass actions for planting trees have become not only a good tradition, but also a symbol of nationwide support for the environmental initiatives of our country, an example of the large-scale and consistent activities that are launched in the Fatherland as a real contribution to the common good cause in the name of preserving natural resources and sustainable development on the planet.

Also, today the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of the Milli Gengesh of Turkmenistan, Honorary Elder of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov took part in a nationwide planting campaign organized in the new, modern administrative centre of Ahal velayat.

Our Motherland is turning into a land of generous gardens, shady parks and dense forests, which are a symbol of the development and renewal of the country. Labour plays an extremely important role in the upbringing of the younger generation, and such socially useful activities as joint planting of green spaces contribute to the improvement of the ecological culture of society, and hence the preservation of the environment, which ultimately leads to an increase in human life expectancy.

There were organized the performance of workers of culture and art glorifying grandiose work and undertakings carried out under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the beauty of the Turkmen land. Stirring melodies and songs added much bright festive colour to the event.

A representative of the younger generation approaches the head of the state. The boy with his clear voice greets President Serdar Berdimuhamedov wishing him sound health and great successes in his multifaceted activities. At his request, the head of the state gives a start to the tree planting campaign and plants the first tree.

Following the President of Turkmenistan, all participants of the tree planting action, which with every passing year assumes more and more importance in the life of the country, involving foreign participants, planted young saplings in neighbouring land plots. Indeed, the topic of care of tomorrow of the planet is universal for all. How the next generations will live namely depends on this. 

With a view of ensuring the ecological safety at national and global levels, efficient measures are taken for the realization of the national forest program, which is called to transform the fatherland into a green garden.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov clearly outlined the water diplomacy and ecology as prior areas of the foreign policy of Turkmenistan based on principles of peace-loving, positive neutrality and constructive international cooperation. The priority of water diplomacy strategy of the head of the state is solution of water economy issues on a complex basis and taking into account interests of all countries of Central Asia.

It should be noted that an important tool of implementation of international plans in the water sphere for Central Asia is the Resolution of the UN General Assembly “Cooperation between the United Nations and the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea“ developed by Turkmenistan and adopted with co-authorship of 19 countries. 

Acting in large forums, including in session of the UN General Assembly, Summits of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea, heads of Caspian states and CIS, Turkmenistan has set forward a number of topical initiatives aimed at joining international efforts in achievement of sustainable development goals adopted by all member countries of the UN.

Among them is the proposal on opening the Regional centre for technologies in Ashgabat connected with climate change in Central Asia, for activity of which, the Turkmen side is ready to provide the necessary infrastructure as well as development of the UN special program for saving the Aral and water strategy of the UN.

Having set forward the given initiatives, our fatherland proceeds from the fact that use of trans-boundary water resources in Central Asia should be carried out on the basis of generally accepted standards of international law, mutual respect and taking into account interests of all countries of the region.

Water diplomacy, which has been outlined as priority areas of foreign policy of many countries, including that of Turkmenistan and is considered as the political and diplomatic form of multilateral interaction, opens opportunities for a regular dialogue on problems connected with formation and reconstruction of water resources, their rational and reasonable use.

Having enjoyed the mountain landscape, the head of the state watched the course of mass tree planting campaign developed in the plot between the monumental sculpture of Magtymguly Fragi and a giant TV tower on the highland, which has been included in the Guinness’s Records Books thanks to its original architecture.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov instructed Deputy-Chairman of the Cabinet A.Yazmyradov, who supervises the agro-industrial complex, to keep the course of the autumn tree planting action, which should be carried out taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of every region, under a control.

As the head of the state underlined, today, the authority of Turkmenistan grows regularly and the world community recognizes and supports the initiatives set forward by us. In the light of topical ecological problems, one should take measures for steady promotion of the state strategy in this sphere.

For 2024 our country plans jubilee events in honour of the greatest poet of the East Magtymguly Fragi, therefore, one should take a responsible and considered approach to organization of upcoming international events, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov said.

From the foot of the mountains a wonderful panorama of “the pear of Asia –white marble coated Ashgabat”, which today develops harmoniously, opens. Thanks to the active support of the head of the state, purposeful measures are taken for successful implementation of dynamic city planning program taking into account the ecological aspect.

Thousands of new saplings decorated the suburbs of the capital. The scope of this work amazes one’s imagination, indeed, forest plantations emerge there where there were bare mountain slopes and loose dunes of desert until now. 

On this autumn day, the entire country came out to plant trees to add their contribution to turning our county into a green land. In addition to tree planting, in the course of the present action, people also took care of existing trees, which grow and get strong with every passing year.

The nationwide tree planting actions have become a noble tradition. Such events unite people who try to become a part of common significant work.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov having expressed his gratitude to all, who took part in the afforestation action, left the place.
