On 8 October, Seyitguly Bayseyidov, Head of the Turkmenbashi International Sea Port, took part in a meeting of the OSCE Economic and Environmental Committee on sustainable trade and transport. This was reported by the press service of the Turkmen diplomatic mission.

During his speech, S. Bayseyidov highlighted Turkmenistan's strategy for modernising its transport system, digitalisation and clean energy integration, as well as the country's role as an important transit hub in the Caspian region.

Particular attention was paid to the ‘Promoting Green Ports’ project, under which the Turkmenbashi port became the first in the Eastern Caspian to receive the international ‘EcoPort’ certificate for energy efficiency, wastewater treatment and biodiversity conservation.

This achievement supports Turkmenistan's goals within the framework of the decisions of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries to create environmentally friendly and intelligent transport systems for 2024-2034.

The meeting was also attended by representatives of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, the World Bank, the International Transport Forum, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs and OSCE delegates. Sustainable transport, digitalisation of logistics and cooperation between ports were discussed.

S. Bayseyidov also held a meeting with the OSCE Coordinator for Economic and Environmental Issues, Bakyt Dzhusupov, discussing further initiatives on ‘green’ logistics and sustainable transport corridors for 2026.

Turkmenistan's active participation confirmed its commitment to regional partnership and sustainable interconnectivity.
