A business forum held in the city of Khiva brought together officials and entrepreneurs from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The event concluded with the signing of export contracts and cooperation memorandums aimed at boosting bilateral economic ties.
Key topics included trade relations, investment opportunities, industrial cooperation, and tourism development. Delegates emphasized that the launch of the cross-border trade zone “Shavat–Dashoguz” would serve as a strong driver for expanding trade volumes and strengthening regional connections.
During the forum, participants explored the investment and export potential of Uzbekistan’s Khorezm region. As a follow-up, an agreement was reached to organize a reciprocal business delegation from Khorezm to Dashoguz Province in Turkmenistan to continue dialogue and explore practical collaboration.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
