Turkmenistan to Expand Infrastructure and Industrial Capacity on the Caspian

At a Cabinet of Ministers meeting held on October 8 Deputy Prime Minister Baimyrat Annamammedov reported on preparations for the upcoming Day of Workers of the Construction and Industrial Complex, which is celebrated annually on November 3.

The main part of the report was a large-scale plan for the commissioning and groundbreaking of key infrastructure facilities in the Balkan province, timed to coincide with this professional holiday. These projects emphasize Turkmenistan’s intention to strengthen its transport and logistics infrastructure and industrial base on the Caspian Sea.

In early November, a new road bridge across the Garabogaz Bay will be inaugurated. In addition, the construction of a new section of the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz highway, extending to the border with Kazakhstan, is scheduled to begin. In the Turkmenbashi district, a urea production complex with a capacity of 1,155,000 tons per year will be built, while in the Esenguly district, a new water treatment facility capable of processing 20,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day will be officially opened.

Meanwhile, on November 3–4, the National Tourist Zone “Avaza” will host an international forum titled “Development of the Construction, Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Sectors of Turkmenistan.”
