Your Excellency, Highly Esteemed President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov!

Dear Turkmen citizens, ladies and gentlemen!

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence, on behalf of all employees of the branch of the Chinese National Oil and Gas Corporation CNPC in Turkmenistan, I would like to express my deep respect, warmest congratulations and best wishes to the Highly Esteemed President Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and the people of Turkmenistan.

For 30 years, independent and neutral Turkmenistan has steadily moved forward-along the chosen path of peace, creation and progress, and has made significant progress in strengthening its statehood, improving the welfare of the people and increasing its reputation in the international arena. For me, as a foreigner who has worked in Turkmenistan for 17 years, it is a great honor to witness the great changes taking place under the wise leadership of the Highly Esteemed President on the Turkmen land – the country is turning into a magnificent prosperous land with conscientious work, where the people live in peace, happiness and prosperity, economic power is growing stronger every day, and the authority of an independent neutral state in the international arena is increasing and strengthening.

We sincerely admire the historical achievements of the President of Turkmenistan in the vigorous development of the national oil and gas industry and the promotion of diversification of natural gas exports. The successful discovery and development of the world's largest gas field "Galkynysh" has significantly strengthened the country's important status as a world energy power. A continuous flow of" blue fuel "is transported to all parts of the world through the transnational gas pipeline" Turkmenistan-China " and the East-West pipeline. Turkmenistan has become a significant player in the global energy market, bringing prosperity to people all over the world. Large – scale complex projects for natural gas processing have been completed and put into operation, such as the polymer gas chemical complex in Kiyanly, where polyethylene and polypropylene are produced due to natural gas processing, a plant for the production of carbamide fertilizers in Garabogaz, a plant for the production of synthetic gasoline from natural gas in the Akhal velayat and a gas turbine power plant built in the Lebap velayat-all this opens a new historical stage in the development of the oil and gas industry of the national economy of Turkmenistan.
