The bilateral event was organised based on memorandums of understanding between the Turkmen and three Chinese oil and gas universities.
As part of the agreements between the parties, the first Lu Ban Workshop in Turkmenistan was opened in April of this year at the International oil and gas university named after Ya. Kakayev, designed to contribute to the training of highly qualified specialists for the country's oil and gas industry.
The holding of the first Olympiad in Informatics at the Lu Ban Workshop became a clear indication of the dynamically developing scientific and educational cooperation between Turkmenistan and China.

120 students from four oil and gas universities in two countries actively participated in the international olympiad in informatics. Participants were presented with challenging tasks that required excellent preparation in key discipline areas such as data analysis, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and others.
Students from the International oil and gas university named after Yagshygeldi Kakayev demonstrated outstanding abilities, exceptional skill, and talent, winning prizes in the competition.
