Since gaining independence, Turkmenistan has achieved significant results across various areas of development. Since 1991, the country has been establishing the political, economic and legal framework of a sovereign state. This is reported by the online news site AsmanNews.

The implementation of state programmes is aimed at strengthening the economy, boosting production and raising the standard of living of the population.

Independence has also influenced public consciousness and the country’s cultural and spiritual life. During this period, the foundations of modern state governance have been laid, and Turkmenistan’s achievements are gaining recognition on the international stage.

The state’s foreign policy is based on the principles of permanent neutrality, peace and mutually beneficial cooperation. As a result, diplomatic ties are expanding and cooperation with international organisations, including the United Nations, is developing.

Construction of residential buildings, industrial enterprises and socio-cultural facilities continues in the country. These projects are aimed at developing infrastructure and improving living conditions for the population.

It is noted that, over a relatively short period of history, Turkmenistan has demonstrated steady rates of development. The book by Hero Arkadag, ‘Independence – Our Happiness’, emphasises the importance of independence and neutrality for the country’s development and international cooperation.

Independence Day remains one of the main public holidays. In 2026 — the year of ‘Independent Neutral Turkmenistan − the Homeland of Purposeful Winged Horses’ — the country is preparing to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its independence.
