A mass ascent along the Health Path took place with the participation of the President of Turkmenistan

On November 2, with the participation of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, a mass ascent along the Path of Health took place. This event is of great importance in strengthening the principles of a healthy lifestyle in our society, especially in introducing young people to physical education and sports.

As you know, at the regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on October 25 this year, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted that the Resolution "United Nations Friendship Games" initiated by Turkmenistan was adopted at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.

In this context, in commemoration of such an urgent Resolution on November 2, it was proposed that all together, following the principles of a healthy lifestyle, walk along the Path of health, as well as organize a ceremony honoring athletes who demonstrated good results at international tournaments and thereby increased the authority of the Motherland.

Taking full care of the welfare of the people is a priority of the state policy of independent neutral Turkmenistan. At the same time, special importance is attached to the protection of public health, the stimulation and development of mass physical culture and wellness movement, and the popularization of regular classes in various sports. As a result of the comprehensive strategy initiated by Arkadag Hero and consistently implemented by Arkadagly Hero Serdar, all conditions have been created in the capital and regions of the country for this.

Initiatives to develop physical education and sports in our Homeland are widely supported by reputable sports structures. Due to the ongoing state policy based on the principles of peacefulness, good neighborliness and humanism, Turkmenistan has become the center of various international competitions.

On the initiative of Turkmenistan, the announcement of June 3 as World Bicycle Day and the unanimous adoption at the 61st plenary session of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly on March 15, 2022 of the Resolution "Integration of mass cycling into the public transport system to achieve sustainable development", as well as the election of our country as a member of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee on Physical Culture and Sport for The years 2023-2027 are clear evidence that the country's sports development activities are highly appreciated by the world community.

Along with this, it should be noted that during the meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the CIS held in the capital this year, Ashgabat was declared the "City of new sports opportunities of the Commonwealth".

...The Chairman of the Mejlis, Deputy Chairmen of the Cabinet of Ministers, heads and representatives of military and law enforcement agencies, ministries and departments, public organizations, mass media, diplomatic missions and international organizations accredited in Turkmenistan, rectors of higher educational institutions gathered to participate in today's sports event at the foot of Kopetdag, where the Path of Health originates, student youth, etc.

Before the mass ascent, a competition was announced for the passage of the Health Path among representatives of diplomatic missions and international organizations, university students, as well as employees of ministries and departments.

In the era of the Rebirth of a new era of a powerful state, the growing number of people engaged in physical education and sports in Turkmenistan, recognized as a country of health and inspiration, is a clear indication that sport has become an integral part of the life of our people.

Large-scale work is being carried out in the country in order to develop the field of sports, raise the prestige of Turkmen sports in the world, and popularize the principles of a healthy lifestyle through the physical culture, sports and Olympic movement.

This activity contributes to the enhancement of the authority of the Motherland, which makes a significant contribution to the international sports movement, uniting people around high humanistic ideals.

As the President of the country emphasizes, sport is an important condition for strengthening global peace, friendly relations between states and peoples, and effective cooperation.

In the early morning, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov's car arrived at the site at the beginning of the Health Trail, where the head of state was warmly welcomed by the audience.

The President of Turkmenistan watched with interest the song and music performances of masters of culture and arts.

Then the President of the country began climbing the Path of Health. Following the example of the head of state, all participants of today's event joined the ascent.

The joint passage of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the general public along the Path of Health became a vivid evidence of the successful implementation of the principle of the Hero-Arkadag "The state is for man!" under the wise leadership of Arkadagly Hero Serdar.

The health trail is one of the special facilities of the country's sports and recreation infrastructure, which allows people of all ages not only to improve their health, but also to become closer to nature.

Sport is a source of health and strength. The sports movement in Turkmenistan is constantly gaining new followers, and it has become a noble tradition to organize mass events with the participation of those who lead a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise has a beneficial effect not only on the physical, but also on the emotional state of a person, as well as on his intellectual and creative activities.

In this picturesque corner of nature, the fresh breath of autumn is especially noticeable. The life-giving mountain air invigorates and inspires a person to reach new heights. Today, the country pays the closest attention to the issues of nature protection.

The purposeful work started by Arkadag Hero Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to ensure sustainable development and environmental safety is now successfully continuing under the leadership of Arkadagly Hero Serdar. The preservation and enhancement of the wealth and beauty of the Motherland's nature, significant improvement of the quality of the environment and living conditions of people, the formation of a balanced environmentally oriented model of economic development and competitive industries are among the priorities of Turkmenistan's state policy.

Our country is actively developing international cooperation in this area. A clear evidence of this is Turkmenistan's responsible approach to solving the problems facing the world community in the field of sustainable development, joining dozens of UN environmental conventions, including the Global Commitment on Methane.

...The majestic monument of the poet of the Turkmen people, Makhtumkuli Fragi, is perfectly visible from here.

In our country, 2024 has been declared the year of "The Storehouse of the mind of Mahtumkuly Fragi". At the initiative of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero Arkadag, the 300th anniversary of the great thinker of the East Makhtumkuli is being celebrated at a high level, and large-scale work is being carried out to popularize his creative heritage in the world, which has become a universal value.

A vivid confirmation of this is the holding on October 11 of this year in the capital under the chairmanship of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov of the International Forum "The Interconnection of times and civilizations – the basis of peace and development".

As President Serdar Berdimuhamedov notes, the Turkmen people have created spiritual and cultural values over their many thousand-year history, which have greatly influenced the overall development of mankind. Mahtumkuli's works occupy a worthy place in the treasury of world literature and culture. Our people know the works of the master of words by heart, our talented Bakhshi musicians have turned the poet's deep meaningful poems into songs and brought them to our days.
