Ashgabat | 22 – 30 October 2025
The landmark 30th Anniversary International Conference and Exhibition “Oil & Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2025,” held in Ashgabat last week, has drawn unprecedented global media attention, underscoring Turkmenistan’s growing prominence in international energy cooperation. This anniversary edition brought together ministers, global executives, and industry experts from more than seventy countries to chart new pathways for sustainable growth and energy partnership.
Reports and live broadcasts from leading international outlets — including Energy Intelligence, S&P Global Platts, NewsBase, Euronews, TRT (Turkiye Radio and Television Corporation), Trend News Agency, Interfax, and Mir 24 TV — showcased Turkmenistan’s achievements and its strategic vision for a sustainable energy future.
Together, these media platforms presented OGT 2025 as a symbol of constructive international partnership — underlining Turkmenistan’s role as a hub for energy dialogue, technological innovation, and industrial modernization across Eurasia.
Selected Media Coverage: Trend News Agency (Azerbaijan), Energy Intelligence (UK / USA), bne IntelliNews (EU), NewsBase (UK), Euronews (EU), News Central Asia (Pakistan / Central Asia), E-CIS (Commonwealth Information Agency), S&P Global Platts (USA), Natural Gas World (UK / USA).
Special attention was given by international media to the Euronews feature video that captured the visit of the Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to Afghanistan along the “Blessed Path of the Arkadag.” The segment, filmed during the groundbreaking of the Serhetabat–Herat section of the TAPI pipeline, illustrated the historic moment of Turkmenistan’s leadership uniting partners under a shared vision of regional peace and prosperity.
The coverage by Euronews, together with analytical reports highlighted in OGT 2025 – In the Mirror of the International Press, reinforced the central place of TAPI in Turkmenistan’s global energy strategy. The project is viewed as more than an infrastructure corridor — it is a symbol of constructive diplomacy and sustainable connectivity linking Central and South Asia through Turkmenistan’s commitment to partnership and progress.
Why It Matters
International coverage of OGT 2025 confirmed:
growing confidence in Turkmenistan’s investment policy;
recognition of its commitment to methane reduction and low-carbon energy;
increasing interest in gas supplies to Europe, Türkiye and the TAPI project;
the emergence of Ashgabat as a leading platform for industrial and energy dialogue across Eurasia.
The extensive global attention to OGT 2025 demonstrates Turkmenistan’s rising authority in the international energy arena. The anniversary forum laid a solid foundation for the next phase of partnership with global stakeholders — from Türkiye and the European Union to Asian markets. Looking ahead, OGT 2026 will continue this momentum, focusing on innovation, digital transformation and sustainable energy development.
