02 Apr. 04:47Distinguished participants of the international exhibition!
Dear guests!
I cordially congratulate you on the opening of the multidisciplinary international exhibition titled "Cooperation and Development" held in the white-marbled capital of Turkmenistan. I sincerely wish this exhibition great success. The exhibitions and business forums regularly organized in our country and abroad contribute to the wide promotion of Turkmenistan's economic potential to the world, the development of mutually beneficial cooperation, and the exchange of advanced practices based on modern technologies.
Turkmenistan successfully implements state programs aimed at developing the economy through innovative directions, improving the welfare and living standards of the people in social spheres, attracting foreign investment, and expanding foreign economic relations. Measures taken to diversify and modernize the economy, as well as the introduction of digital systems in all sectors, create a reliable foundation for the further dynamic growth of our country. This serves as an essential condition for opening new opportunities in developing mutually beneficial cooperation with interested parties from countries around the world. I firmly believe that this multidisciplinary international exhibition, being held in Ashgabat for the first time, will create new business opportunities and make a worthy contribution to the further expansion of multilateral cooperation between Turkmenistan and the states of the world.
Dear compatriots!
Dear friends!
By consistently implementing the "Open Doors" policy, Turkmenistan has established effective relations with major companies from more than 100 countries that possess advanced technologies and extensive experience in various fields. In the Era of the Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State, the experience of positive cooperation is further enriched, and its scope is expanding. As a result of deliberate efforts to produce competitive products for global markets through the implementation of major joint projects, and to increase and effectively utilize our country’s export potential, our relations with partners in investment and trade are being raised to new heights. Within the framework of this large-scale exhibition, wide opportunities will be created to define new directions of cooperation, identify business initiatives, discuss projects of various scales, and exchange views on future plans.
Distinguished guests of the exhibition!
Dear compatriots!
International cooperation is of paramount importance in modernizing the economy of our sovereign state in accordance with international standards and in implementing new technologies, innovations, and the latest scientific achievements. That is precisely why international exhibitions, scientific conferences, and business meetings are held on a large scale in Turkmenistan. This facilitates the establishment of long-term relations with countries worldwide in these areas. This extensive international exhibition will also provide an impetus for strengthening mutually beneficial relations among parties interested in long-term partnership and for initiating joint actions with new partners.
Distinguished people!
Dear guests!
Once again, I sincerely congratulate you on the opening of the multidisciplinary international exhibition "Cooperation and Development" in the year "Independent, permanently Neutral Turkmenistan — the land of prosperity with the speed of a stallion." I wish you sound health, a prosperous life, and great success in your work towards the flourishing of international cooperation.
President of Turkmenistan
Serdar BERDIMUHAMEDOV.

Detroit High School Students Eligible for Up to $1,000 for Perfect Attendance
23 Aug. 18:09High school students in Detroit, Michigan, who maintain consistent school attendance can earn up to $1,000 in electronic gift cards. According to Fox News, high schoolers receive a $100 digital gift card for every week of uninterrupted class attendance. Students can earn $400 across four weeks, with total incentives reaching up to $1,000 during the 10-week winter period.
The attendance incentive model demonstrated strong results between January and March 2026, when approximately 12,800 high school students—representing 84% of the district's high school population—qualified for the payments. Concurrently, chronic absenteeism dropped from 64% to 54%. Following this success, the program has been extended through the 2026–2027 academic year and expanded to include students in grades 6–8, who will receive $50 for each week of full attendance.
The school district allocated $13.9 million from its overall budget to combat unexcused absences. The program maintains strict criteria: a single unexcused absence during any given school week forfeits the student's eligibility for that week's reward.
