Здесь Герой-Аркадаг ознакомился с проектами объектов, планируемых к строительству и реконструкции на территории нового города.

В рамках рабочей поездки Герой-Аркадаг встретился с директором постоянного представительства Азиатского банка развития (АБР) в Туркменистане – давним партнёром нашей страны.

Особое значение здесь также придаётся реализации инвестиционных проектов.

Благодаря усилиям Героя-­Аркадага новый город впечатляет своей красотой. Это является ярким свидетельством того, что в нашей стране, уверенно следующей к новым высотам прогресса, градостроительная программа успешно осуществляется в соответствии с требованиями современности и принципами национальной архитектуры.

Ознакомившись с ходом работ в новом городе, Герой-Аркадаг рассмотрел различные виды скульптур и ограждений, которые планируется установить на территории возводимого парка. Герой-Аркадаг отметил, что согласно градостроительной программе, реализуемой в стране под руководством Президента Туркменистана, следует уделять особое внимание строительству и декоративным особенностям зданий нового города, а также его экологическому состоянию, и дал в этой связи ряд рекомендаций.

В этой связи председатель Государственного комитета по строительству города Аркадаг при Президенте Туркменистана Д.Оразов отчитался о динамике работ в рамках второй очереди застройки нового города, о запланированных новостройках.

Данное соглашение призвано стимулировать наращивание темпов строительных работ в новом городе, где успешно завершён первый этап и динамично реализуется второй.

Глава постоянного представительства Азиатского банка развития в Туркменистане подчеркнул, что для АБР большая честь участвовать в инвестиционных проектах, осуществляемых в Туркменистане, следующем по пути гармоничного развития и обладающем значительным экономическим потенциалом, в частности, в инновационном городе Аркадаг, построенном на основе концепции «умный город».

А.Андрисиак также с гордостью подчеркнул, что в нынешнем году, объявленном по инициативе Туркменистана «Международным годом мира и доверия», исполняется 25 лет сотрудничеству между АБР и Туркменистаном. Как отмечалось, партнёрские отношения между Туркменистаном и АБР являются образцовыми.

В этой связи, учитывая, что врач Аркадаг придаёт большое значение совершенствованию деятельности учреждений здравоохранения, было выдвинуто предложение об открытии здесь учебного центра для медсестёр медицинских учреждений, что является результатом успешной работы вице-президента по лечебной деятельности Благотворительного фонда по оказанию помощи нуждающимся в опеке детям имени Гурбангулы Бердымухамедова О.Атабаевой.

Герой-Аркадаг, высоко оценив уровень двусторонних отношений, отметил, что в результате сотрудничества реализуются проекты транспортной инфраструктуры, что способствует укреплению экономики страны и созданию новых рабочих мест. Это в свою очередь оказывает положительное влияние на повышение уровня жизни нашего народа и является ярким результатом достойного вклада авторитетной финансовой структуры в возрождение в новом формате Великого Шёлкового пути.

В завершение встречи Герой-Аркадаг и глава постоянного представительства АБР в Туркменистане выразили уверенность в дальнейшем успешном развитии двустороннего сотрудничества, реализации перспективных высокотехнологичных проектов, которые будут способствовать гармоничному развитию страны.

Затем здесь при участии Героя-Аркадага был подписан Меморандум о взаимопонимании между Государственным комитетом по строительству города Аркадаг при Президенте Туркменистана и Азиатским банком развития.

Подписанный документ нацелен на сотрудничество в области развития энергетической, водной и градостроительной отраслей в городе Аркадаг, построенном в соответствии с концепцией «умного и зелёного города» с применением современных передовых технологий и цифровых решений. Вместе с тем Меморандумом предусмотрены меры по внедрению соответствующих технологий, в частности, экономии воды и энергии, развитию возобновляемых источников энергии и повторному использованию воды, а также обмен передовым опытом в разработке и реализации новых проектов в указанных направлениях.

По завершении церемонии подписания документа глава постоянного представительства Азиатского банка развития в Туркменистане в своём выступлении подчеркнул особую роль Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова, а также Героя-Аркадага в продвижении инвестиционных проектов, реализуемых в рамках сотрудничества АБР с нашей страной. Было озвучено предложение организовать торжественное мероприятие по случаю 25-летия сотрудничества с Туркменистаном, которое ознаменует многолетнюю успешную совместную деятельность.

Герой-Аркадаг одобрил прозвучавшее предложение, выразив уверенность, что подписанный сегодня документ будет способствовать достижению поставленных целей и, пожелав всем успехов в работе, отбыл с места события.
