Every year in sports actions carried out in our fatherland more and more participants - both the youth, and people of advanced age are involved.

As a result of the complex strategy initiated by Hero-Arkadag and nowadays consecutively implemented by Arkadagly Hero Serdar, in the capital and regions of the country all conditions for practice of physical culture and different sports are created. Development of this important sphere is an integral factor for improvement of health, prevention of various diseases, physical and spiritual self-improvement, improvement of quality of life of people, harmonious education of the younger generation.

In the country projects of the sphere of public health services, sanatorium and sports infrastructure, which meet all parameters of international standards were constructed and under construction. The innovative medical cluster is created in the new «smart» city of Arkadag.

Today, Turkmenistan possesses considerable experience and potential both for conduction of trainings and improvement of skill of sportsmen and for preparation of highly qualified specialists for the given profile, organisation of competitions of regional and global levels. Here as a concrete example, it is possible to cite the capital universal Olympic village, the arena of which in 2017 hosted with great success the V Asian indoor and martial arts games and following years - a number of other large international competitions. The complex of modern sports constructions has entered into an infrastructure of the city of Arkadag.

Fine possibilities for practice of physical culture and sports, including water sports, are provided in Avaza national tourist zone on the ecologically clean Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea. The effective impulse in development was also received winter sports, which were earlier unusual taking into account the local climate, in particular, figure skating and hockey, which young Turkmen nationals nowadays with great enthusiasm master.

Worthily answering to the care and support of the state, our sportsmen actively participate in prestigious international tournaments and achieve remarkable results, annually winning new prizes with their achievements in sports. All it promotes augmentation of authority of neutral Turkmenistan on the world scene, advancement of its constructive initiatives, called to promote promotion of fruitful cooperation with foreign partners, support of the Olympic movement in its global humanistic and peace-making mission.

In the given context, it is remarkable that sports diplomacy and ways of involvement of its potential find reflexion in the Concept of activity and priorities of Turkmenistan within the International year of peace and trust proclaimed at the initiative of our country by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization. As known, the corresponding Resolution was unanimously adopted in 2024 during the 78th session of GA of the United Nations. According to the concept, this year, which marks the 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality of Turkmenistan, it is planned to adopt measures on activization of sports contacts, conduct international sports actions and Games of the United Nations, which were also initiated by our country.

As for the bicycle ride, it is one of the most widespread sports in the world and it is included in the program of the Olympic Games. In our country, it is also popular and has its own history. By the way, today Turkmenistan has all possibilities for conduction of the international competitions in this sport.

Among Turkmen nationals, the number of admirers of bicycle as means of transportation and useful leisure, and at the same time as most ecologically clean mode of transport also grows. Choosing it for walking and travel or as sports equipment, an individual not only improves his health, but also shows a responsible attitude to the environment. In this connection, it is necessary to underline that all social, economic and sectoral programs infrastructural projects realized in Turkmenistan directly are interlaced with the ecological aspect. Therefore, health improving and sports actions also have a nature protection orientation, promoting increase of ecological culture of society.

Generated by centuries with Turkmen people wise traditions of solicitous attitude to the nature nowadays find continuation in scientifically well-founded long-term strategy realised in our country. As a result of annual tree planting campaigns, including those timed to the national holiday of spring - International Day of Nowruz, our fatherland expands the areas of green plantings, parks and gardens, which have a favourable influence on the local microclimate and ecological conditions as a whole.

Proposals of our country, in particular, those on advancement of bicycle culture meet approval and support of the world community. The resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization in 2018 and 2022 can serve the best example for it. The joining of Turkmenistan the Global Methane Pledge and the initiative to open the Regional Centre for Climate Technology in Central Asia in Ashgabat also attests to the responsible and far-sighted approach to ecological partnership.
