On May 5, the prestigious international forum “Yerevan Dialogue 2026” opened in Yerevan. A delegation from Turkmenistan, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Akhmet Gurbanov, is participating in the forum.
During his speech, the head of the Turkmen delegation noted that Turkmenistan is actively strengthening the foundation of its energy sector through large-scale system modernization, increased energy efficiency, and consistent emission reductions. Particular attention was paid to the gradual expansion of the use of renewable energy sources (RES) while maintaining the country’s economic stability and social well-being.
It was noted that Turkmenistan has already taken concrete steps to create a favorable environment for a “green” energy transition.
It was emphasized that the environmental transformation of the industry is directly linked to energy security, labor market adaptation, and balanced regional development. Key priorities include guaranteeing uninterrupted power supply to the population, training qualified personnel for new fields, and ensuring equal access for all communities to the benefits of attracted investments.
The presentation emphasized the importance of constructive international cooperation for the implementation of national plans. It was noted that close collaboration with such reputable partners as the UN and international financial institutions serves as a clear example of the effectiveness of external support.
The forum continues.
