The cabinet ministers, heads of the Mejlis, major public organisations, diplomatic missions and international organisations accredited to our country, journalists and numerous citizens and guests of the Turkmen capital participated in the opening ceremony.

In the welcoming statement to participants and organizers of the international forum President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov expressed belief that the exhibition and conference would profoundly contribute to fostering and developing the efficient scientific and technological cooperation, as well as trading and economic relations, and exchanging experience.

The exhibition occupying the vast territory of the Expo Centre is the presentation of the stages of promotion of the urban development policy of Turkmenistan and the contributions of various sectors to implementing the national programmes aimed at improving the people’s welfare and creating the conditions of dignified labour and recreation of citizens and a vivid illustration of collaboration with foreign companies in a variety of national projects and the prospects for expansion of international cooperation.

The exposition presents high-tech equipment, toolware, building and finishing materials, computer and communication technologies, achievements in the health, transport and communications, textile and food industries, the progress in environmental protection, promotion of sports and tourism, development of the research, personnel and cultural potential, in a word all those things that the image of a big city is formed from. The sections represented by the food and agro-industrial complex, trading sector, and others aroused keen interest among the visitors. The Ministry of Nature Protection of Turkmenistan showcases the most ‘green’ pavilion, and the stand of the Ashgabat Khyakimlik has been the most ‘blooming’. It is notable that Turkmen private entrepreneurs and commodity producers also demonstrate their potential at the exhibition.

A variety of construction and specialized machines and equipment produced by world’s leading manufacturers are displayed on the outdoor exposition areas.

Particular attention was paid to the ecologically conscious systems and energy-saving technologies aimed at addressing key urbanization issues, the projects on ‘intellectual’ infrastructure and ‘intelligent’ devices for public green spaces that will allow maintaining the favourable environment in the city and contributing to nature protection, and addressing global ecological problems.

The prospective plans of developing the Turkmen capital attract attention of large investors and contractors, producers and business-circles wishing to take an active part in implementation of the large-scale programmes for development and improvement of Ashgabat. Within the framework of the four-day exhibition the main city of the country has become a platform for wide discussions of the urban planning issues, developing the system of municipal transportation, communications and telecommunications, the sphere of personal services and trade.

The exhibition has provided the forum participants with an opportunity to present new projects and offers, and the foreign guests – to learn more about achievements of various branches and structures of the Turkmen national economic complex representing the industrial, cultural and intellectual potential of Ashgabat, and its huge social and economic resources and possibilities.
