According to the Customs Service website, the document provides for the implementation of modern information technologies, automation of key processes, increased transparency and efficiency in customs administration, as well as the development of human resources.
The agreement signing took place in the National Tourist Zone “Avaza” and was accompanied by a bilateral meeting between the Chairman of the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan and UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grimson, who highly praised the country’s efforts in digital transformation.
The signing of the document is a logical continuation of the previous phases of digitalization implemented with the assistance of UNCTAD.


FC Barcelona and Spain midfielder Gavi (Pablo Paéz Gavira) is donating approximately €1.3 million to fund the construction of 150 homes for homeless and low-income individuals. The project will take place in his hometown of Los Palacios y Villafranca, located in the province of Seville.
According to Spanish media outlets, the development is designed to shelter around 300 people who face financial difficulties in purchasing or renting a home. The initiative is a purely charitable endeavor funded entirely by the footballer rather than a commercial real estate investment.
Specific details regarding construction timelines and eligibility criteria for housing recipients will be announced in subsequent phases of the project.
