The international exhibition “Construction, Industry, Energy of Turkmenistan – 2024” and the conference “Development of Construction, Industry, Energy of Turkmenistan” (CIET 2024) will kick off in Ashgabat today, November 3, and run through November 5, 2024.
“The construction and industrial sector, like other sectors of the national economy, is developing at an accelerated pace: the tasks of creating innovative capacities, large industrial enterprises, increasing import-substituting industries and building-up the export capacity of the industry, introducing the digital economy into it are being successfully solved,” said President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov in his congratulatory message to the participants of the exhibition and conference.
The Head of State stressed that special attention is also paid to the improvement of industry and construction production: industrialization, the establishment of the production of import-substituting and export-oriented goods, the construction of modern enterprises operating on the basis of innovative technologies, and the increase in the production potential of existing ones.
“The chemical industry is one of the promising and rapidly developing sectors of the national economy. The significant scale of production of mineral fertilizers and the expansion of their range allow us to fully meet the needs of the agricultural sector on our own, as well as to establish their export,” the message says.
The congratulation notes the dynamic development of the electric power industry. “Today, effective measures are being taken to modernize the material and technical base of the industry at the root, which in turn makes it possible to reliably supply electricity to cities and villages, solve key tasks of socio-economic growth and expand the possibilities of exporting electric energy.”
“In recent years, Turkmenistan has been steadily increasing the scale of measures to develop road construction, create international transport corridors and increase the volume of passenger and cargo transportation. This is clearly evidenced by the modernization of the road transport infrastructure, the construction of new highways and bridges based on the use of advanced technologies,” the President stressed.
