The 13th session of the World Urban Forum, organized under the auspices of UN-Habitat, officially commenced its high-level panels in Azerbaijan, functioning as an integrated platform for sustainable urban design. A senior administrative delegation from Turkmenistan, representing key state construction committees, actively participated in the multilateral configurations alongside global policymakers and technical experts to coordinate comprehensive municipal frameworks.

During the structural address, the head of the national delegation presented the country’s extensive expertise in modern civil engineering, focusing on the smart city model of Arkadag. The presentation highlighted that the foundational blueprints of this newly established administrative center rely on thorough environmental risk assessments, introducing carbon-neutral transit networks, barrier-free public areas, and a highly specialized medical production cluster designed to meet strict international standards.

Prior to the official assembly sessions, the head of the Turkmen delegation was received by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan for high-level bilateral consultations. The meeting emphasized the deep-rooted diplomatic solidarity and close bilateral alignment between the two sovereign nations. In addition to reviewing the strategic items on the forum agenda, the leaders thoroughly discussed the ongoing construction progress of a major spiritual and cultural complex being constructed by Turkmen builders in the city of Fuzuli.
