1. A telephone conversation was between the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the head of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov. Having warmly greeted the leader of a friendly country, the head of state, on behalf of the Turkmen people and on his own behalf, expressed words of sympathy in connection with the accident that occurred at the thermal power plant in the city of Bishkek. President Sadyr Japarov, on behalf of the Kyrgyz people and on his own behalf, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the words of empathy at this difficult moment. As the head of Kyrgyzstan emphasized, his country highly values friendly relations with Turkmenistan, which was among the first to come to the aid of the neighboring state.

2. President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed an Order, ordering the Deputy Chairmen of the Cabinet of Ministers, hyakims of the velayats and the city of Ashgabat to monitor the quality completion of construction on time and the commissioning of relevant large production and social facilities this year, reports the State News Agency of Turkmenistan. The Ministry of Construction and Architecture is instructed to strengthen control over the quality of construction of the above-mentioned facilities, set the dates for their commissioning by month in accordance with the deadlines, and ensure that these dates are included in the monthly schedules of events and the opening of social facilities.

3. In honor of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Magtymguly Fragi, posters depicting the classic of Turkmen literature appeared at city stops in Ashgabat. Next to the poet’s portrait are wise sayings and excerpts from his poems.

4. In January 2024, oil workers in the Balkan velayat of Turkmenistan increased production of black gold by 9% compared to the same period in 2023. In total, over 300 thousand tons of oil were produced in the western region in the first month of the year. Considerable credit for this belongs to the employees of the divisions of the “Turkmenneft” state concern.

5. Information about the infrastructure of the Turkmenbashy international seaport will be included in the digital register of transport and logistics centers for the “North-South” international transport corridor. The decision to create a register was made at the end of January during the second meeting of the CIS transport business dialogue. The infrastructure register will be publicly available on the website of the Coordination Transport Meeting of the Commonwealth Member States. The information contained in the register will make it possible to more effectively create logistics routes and supply chains along the “North-South” corridor, in which Turkmenistan plays an increasing role.

6. In Guangxi Province, China, 95 years old Li Xiufeng had a shocking experience - she was almost buried alive. A woman who was presumed dead was calmly cooking in her kitchen six days after her “death”, much to the amazement of her neighbors. It all started when Li Xiufeng fell in the house and suffered a head injury. The woman did not respond to her name and did not wake up. Since the woman has no relatives, her neighbor took care of the funeral. According to Chinese tradition, the coffin with the body is supposed to be kept at home for several days so that loved ones can say goodbye. Imagine the surprise when, the day before the funeral, a neighbor found the coffin empty. The search began, and soon the “deceased woman” was found in the kitchen, peacefully preparing food. It turned out that Li Xiufeng woke up and, not finding anyone at home, simply decided to mind her own business.
