Officials from the State Service of Maritime and River Transport of Turkmenistan met with UNDP Resident Representative Narine Sahakyan to discuss strategic upgrades to the Turkmenbashi International Seaport. The collaboration aims to strengthen the port's role in the Middle Corridor by simplifying trade procedures through digital transformation. Key proposals include upgrading the Terminal Operating System (TOS) and implementing a Maritime Single Window (MSW) to streamline administrative processes for international shipping.
The discussions also highlighted the port's commitment to environmental sustainability, building on its existing ISO-14001 and "EcoPort" certifications. New proposals to further align port operations with international ecological standards were reviewed. These strategic initiatives are set to be presented to the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan for official approval and implementation.

Simple Vitamin Shows Surprising Results in Pre-Cancerous Blood Conditions, Study Finds
Today in 02:02Daily high-dose supplementation of vitamin C can significantly reduce mortality risks and help prevent severe medical complications in patients with pre-cancerous blood conditions. Researchers from the Van Andel Institute in the United States and Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark reached this conclusion following a comprehensive three-year follow-up study. The international "EVITA" trial involved volunteers who were administered 1,000 mg of vitamin C daily over the course of a year, while a control group received a placebo.
Although initial hypotheses suggested vitamin C might directly inhibit abnormal cell proliferation, researchers found its primary benefit lay in strengthening the body, reducing systemic inflammation, and lowering rates of anemia, pneumonia, and internal bleeding. Over the three-year observation period, the vitamin C group exhibited a significantly higher survival rate compared to the placebo group. While experts emphasize that these findings remain preliminary and require larger clinical trials before reshaping formal medical treatment protocols, vitamin C continues to show promising potential in supportive patient care.
