Ashgabat is preparing for the grand opening of the 30th Anniversary International Conference and Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2025," which will take place October 22–24 at the country's Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Preparatory work is in its final stages, and the first group of foreign delegates has already arrived in the white-marble capital and completed all formalities in record time—less than 30 minutes—thanks to free CIP support and express security at the airport.
Registration for participants will take place on October 21 from 12:00 to 21:00 at the “Yyldyz” hotel. A packed program is planned for the day, including a sightseeing tour of Ashgabat, a visit to the ancient Nisa Fortress, the National Museum of Turkmen Carpets, lunch, and a golf tournament at the Ashgabat Golf Club. A UN roundtable discussion on "Energy for Peace and Prosperity" will be held in the afternoon, and the evening will conclude with a cocktail reception and dinner with panoramic views of the city.
The forum's grand opening on October 22 will begin at 9:30 a.m. with national dances and musical performances. More than 1400 delegates and over 100 companies will participate in the exhibition, and a special shuttle service will be provided for guests' convenience. The forum program, including plenary sessions, a gala dinner, and an awards ceremony, highlights Turkmenistan's commitment to sustainable energy development, technological modernization, and strengthened international cooperation under the motto "Energy. Innovation. Development."
