President of Turkmenistan participates in ceremonies for laying foundations and opening key facilities

On November 2, President Serdar Berdimuhamedow made a working visit to the Balkan region, where he took part in the ceremonies for laying the foundation of a urea production complex with a capacity of 1,155,000 tons per year in the Turkmenbashi district, as well as the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz section of the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz–Kazakhstan border highway. The Head of State also participated in the opening of a water treatment facility with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day in the Esenguly district and a highway bridge across the Garabogaz Bay.

Addressing the participants of the ceremonies, the President noted that the new urea production complex is one of the major investment projects in the country. Currently, Turkmenistan operates the “Tejenkarbamid,” “Marykarbamid,” and “Garabogazkarbamid” plants. The new complex will also comply with international environmental standards, with construction carried out by a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan) and Gap Inşaat (Turkey). The facility will incorporate advanced technologies from leading European and Asian companies.

The modern complex is designed to produce 2,000 tons of ammonia daily and 660,000 tons annually, which will serve as raw material for urea production. In total, the plant will produce 3,500 tons of urea per day, or 1,155,000 tons per year. Its products will also be exported abroad.

“Today, we are also commissioning a modern highway bridge across the Garabogaz Bay. This project was implemented by Turkmen builders together with Altcom LLC,” the President said. The total length of the bridge, built on the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz–Kazakhstan border highway, is 354 meters, with a width of 21 meters.

Regarding the laying of the foundation for the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz–Kazakhstan border highway, the Head of State emphasized that all necessary conditions for passengers and drivers will be provided along this modern 207-kilometer route.

Speaking about the commissioning of the seawater treatment facility with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day in the Esenguly district of the Balkan region, the President highlighted that it is equipped with modern equipment from European companies.

The Head of State stressed that comprehensive work on the socio-economic development of the Balkan region is progressing successfully. Powerful industrial enterprises and social and cultural facilities are being built and commissioned in a phased manner.

Noting that construction of a modern settlement and a multifunctional solar-wind power plant in the Kizilyarvat district of the Balkan region is in its final stages, President Serdar Berdimuhamedow emphasized that work on the development of Turkmenistan’s regions will continue.
