Turkmenistan intends to extend the implementation of its cooperation roadmap with the International Labour Organization (ILO) until the end of 2026. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Rashid Meredov, during a government meeting.
According to the Foreign Minister, Turkmenistan continues to work closely with the ILO within the framework of multilateral conventions aimed at ensuring decent working conditions and protecting the rights of all parties in labor relations. The cooperation was carried out under the 2024–2025 roadmap and has delivered positive outcomes for Turkmenistan.
In light of these results, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan has proposed extending the roadmap until the end of 2026 and expanding its implementation by engaging government bodies and public organizations of Turkmenistan.
A key priority of the extended roadmap is strengthening the political and legal framework to prevent forced labor, including child labor, while also further improving Turkmenistan’s national labor legislation and enhancing the application of legally significant measures.
The plan also предусматривает intensified, targeted efforts by state institutions and trade unions in Turkmenistan to safeguard labor rights. To support large-scale reforms, Turkmenistan intends to establish a dedicated database for the calculation, collection, and analysis of labor rights indicators.
Regular dialogue between the ILO and the Government of Turkmenistan will continue, alongside systematic bilateral meetings involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, relevant agencies, and ILO experts to discuss preventive measures against child labor.

11 Oct. 15:20An international press tour for media representatives from Turkmenistan is currently underway in Türkiye, organized by the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA) with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Türkiye.
The delegation includes journalists and content creators from the country’s leading public and private media outlets.
The journey through the Balıkesir region began immediately upon the delegation’s arrival at Koca Seyit Airport. The first stop on the itinerary was the picturesque Manastır Çayı area, followed by a visit to the famous Olive Oil Museum. Here, the journalists were introduced to the centuries-old traditions of olive oil production—a key gastronomic and cultural hallmark of the Aegean coast—before enjoying a walk along the scenic Güre coastline.
A special highlight of the program was an immersive experience in the region's unique natural landscape. Participants embarked on an exciting jeep safari through the Kazdağları National Park (historically known as Mount Ida). The journalists explored the rugged beauty of the Şahindere Canyon, refreshed themselves at ice-cold natural springs, and ascended to the legendary Altar of Zeus, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire region.
In the coming days, the press tour participants will dive into the rich history of the Çanakkale region. The itinerary includes exploring the ancient city of Assos and the Temple of Athena, viewing the iconic Trojan Horse, discovering legendary Troy along with its state-of-the-art museum complex, and paying tribute at the historic sites of Gallipoli and the Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorials.
Such international media initiatives allow Turkmen journalists to gain firsthand insights into modern practices in cultural and eco-tourism, exchange professional experience with Turkish colleagues, and strengthen media collaboration between the two nations.
