The holding of 2026 under the motto ‘Independent Neutral Turkmenistan is the Home of Purposeful Winged Horses’ has special significance. This glorious year celebrates the values of independence and permanent neutrality, and our Motherland is advancing to new heights of progress with great strides. The fact that the national development is likened to a horse's gallop is a vivid example of the abovementioned facts.
This year, modern residential buildings, highways, numerous industrial and social facilities, health centres, and educational institutions were completed and put into operation in all regions of the country. Regional and global conferences and forums are held in the country. These events give a new impetus to the economic strength of the country, the improvement of the living conditions of our people, and the enhancement of the international prestige of our Motherland.
Our Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted that the beauty of nature is reflected in the ‘heavenly’ horses, because the Ahalteke horse embody the colours of the beautiful mountains, sunny steppes, springs and rivers of Turkmenistan. The Ahalteke horses have been inspiring poets and artists for centuries. The artefacts found in ancient monuments, the wonderful poems of our classic poets, and the works of modern artists clearly confirm the abovementioned facts.
