On behalf of the Turkmen people and the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, National Leader of the Turkmen people, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, congratulated Serdar Berdimuhamedov on his inauguration as President of the country. “Under your initiative, the year 2026, marked by the 35th anniversary of sacred independence, has been declared "Independent, neutral Turkmenistan – the homeland of purposeful winged horses". This decision reflects the Turkmen people’s commitment to their historical roots and the continuity of statehood principles, while also embodying the objective reality of a new era, demonstrating the successful implementation of strategic programs and rapid progress across all sectors of the country. Under your leadership, modern cities, towns, and villages, residential complexes, kindergartens, schools, medical centers, and large industrial enterprises meeting contemporary standards are being built across the country in this new historical era. This historically significant activity, reflecting the economic strength of our homeland, positively influences the continued transformation of the capital and regions and contributes to a significant improvement in the citizens’ standard of living,” Hero-Arkadag noted. “Under your guidance, our beloved homeland confidently advances along the path of peace and creation. The presidential elections held in March 2022 in an atmosphere of openness, transparency, and broad alternatives clearly demonstrated the high level of civic awareness of Turkmen citizens and the steadfastness of the nation’s democratic principles. This landmark event is recorded in the history of independent Turkmenistan as the beginning of a new stage in its modern history, full of great achievements and marked by significant accomplishments,” emphasized the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov wished the head of state robust health, long life, and continued success in his governmental activities for the prosperity of the country.
