In honor of World Health Day, which is celebrated annually on April 7, the Embassy of Turkmenistan in the Republic of Uzbekistan organized a bike ride.

The bicycle action, which took place in the Blue Domes Park of culture and recreation in Tashkent, brought together Turkmen students studying at universities in Uzbekistan, representatives of the Turkmen diaspora, as well as employees of the diplomatic mission.

Before the start, the participants got acquainted with the activities of Turkmenistan to promote physical culture and sports. In particular, at the initiative of the country in 2018, the United Nations (UN) declared June 3 as World Bicycle Day, and on March 15 of this year, at the 61st plenary meeting of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly, the Resolution "Integration of mass cycling movement" was unanimously adopted into public transport systems to achieve sustainable development”.

This is proof of the high appreciation and recognition by the international community of the initiatives of Turkmenistan in the development of sports and the health and fitness movement.

Cycling is gaining more and more popularity in the world, especially in Turkmenistan. It is predicted that the popularity of cycling will grow every year. This trend is very pleasing to doctors, who do not cease to repeat that an active lifestyle is the key to health.

It should be noted that the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Tashkent has been regularly organizing such bike events since 2018.
