Business park opened in the northern part of the Turkmen capital with the participation of the Turkmen leader

New impressive business district was erected in the northern part of the Turkmen capital along G. Kuliev street, on the both sides of which the representative business centres with modern infrastructure were built.

The 69-hectare building plot was allocated to the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs on the initiative of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan invested one billion manats into this turnkey project on the construction of more than 100 buildings with the improved adjacent territory.

The scale, time frame and quality of the implementation of the architectural and urban development project vividly testify to the growing potential of the private sector that plays an important role in the development of the national economy.

The President of Turkmenistan attended the opening ceremony of the large complex that includes more than 100 three-storey offices with sales premises. The new buildings that are remarkable for the modern design satisfy the international standards for equipping offices. In addition to functionality as business centres, such an office line in the development of the city represents a significant architectural value.

The opening ceremony brought together the government officials, heads of the Mejlis, ministries and branch departments, military and law enforcement agencies, ambassadors of foreign countries in Turkmenistan, heads of public organizations and mass media, Khyakim of Ashgabat, Turkmen businessmen as well as numerous guests, including foreign businessmen.

All those present greeted President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov with great enthusiasm. Under the storm of applause, the President cut the symbolic ribbon, opening the new business district of Ashgabat.

The typical projects of the erected buildings are designed in a single style, which created a certain order and rhythm in this part of the city, completely transforming it.

The business park that appeared in the north of the capital will become another centre of business life and the organized wholesale and retail trade. Thousands of new jobs have been created there due to opening of the new business district.

The Turkmen leader started inspecting the complex of buildings from the Altyn shopping centre that offers a wide range of construction materials and industrial products manufactured by Turkmen entrepreneurs.

Speaking with the foreign ambassadors, who took part in the celebrations, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov thanked the heads of foreign diplomatic missions accredited in Turkmenistan for the active participation in the events that are of great importance in the life of our country.

The President of Turkmenistan noted that a number of grandiose events would take place in the country soon. Among them are the ceremonies of laying the Afghan section of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, the fiber-optic communication line along the same route and the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan power transmission line, the opening of the Serhetabat-Turgundi railway, which Turkmenistan built entirely from own funds, material and technical and human resources. The Presidents of India, Afghanistan and Pakistan will arriýe to Turkmenistan to participate in the festive events.

Moreover, three sports competitions - the international rally "Amul-Khazar-2018", the bike ride and the track and field athletics cross-country race will be launched in the administrative centre of Lebap Velayat simultaneously. Inviting foreign diplomats to join the events, the head of state noted that the new international airport would be put into operation in Turkmenabat at the same time. Upon completion of the festivities, the participants and honored guests to the events will leave Turkmenabat for Ashgabat from the new airport.

In return, the foreign diplomats expressed admiration with the scale and paces of transformations, the rapid development of Turkmenistan, which they have witnessed, and expressed gratitude for the conditions created to promote the international economic partnership and humanitarian dialogue.

Addressing Chairman of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs A. Dadaev, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized the significant contribution that the Turkmen business made to the socio-economic development of the country.

Underlining that the government considers the private sector of the national economy as a large resource to ensure the progress of the country and will continue to encourage business and economic initiative, the Turkmen leader gave a number of instructions to the relevant officials with regard to creating conditions to promote business activities in all sectors.

The Chairman of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan expressed gratitude to the President of Turkmenistan for the comprehensive support provided to the local entrepreneurial movement, due to which the small and medium-sized business in the country significantly develops. Private enterprises have launched the production of a number of products that were previously imported to the country, satisfying the domestic needs, and have entered foreign markets, supplying goods to the neighboring states and expanding the geography of export.

Today, Turkmenistan carries out the systematic work to ensure the abundance of the domestic market. Along with the increase of consumer goods production, and the manufacturing capacities of the light and food industries, intensive investments are being made in the development of the service sector and trade. New shopping centres supplied with modern special equipment provide high quality services to the population and foreign guests of our country, the number of which is steadily growing.

The rapid development of the Turkmen business led to the growing need for office space. The Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs responds to this demand by building a large number of administrative, commercial buildings in the shortest possible time, putting them into "turnkey" operation.

Once again congratulating all those present on opening of the new business and trading centre in the Turkmen capital, the Turkmen leader left the venue.
