Holidays of Turkmenistan - Day of Chemical Industry Workers

On March 31, residents of Turkmenistan celebrate Chemical Industry Employees Day. The holiday date was established by order of the President of the Republic in April 2017 and added to the list of professional events celebrated in the country. The date and month were not chosen by chance. It was on this day in 2017 that the grand opening of the Garlyk mining and processing plant took place, the construction of which began in 2009. Today the plant is considered the largest industrial enterprise in the industry. The opening ceremony was attended by many famous and influential people of the CIS, including the President of Belarus. Constructed by partners from the Belarusian Republic with the assistance of Turkmen specialists, the new enterprise, with a capacity of 1.4 million tons of fertilizers per year, became a major step towards the establishment of the chemical industry and the development of the country's mining industry. The chemical industry of Turkmenistan is based on the richest and often unique deposits of minerals. Among them, potassium salt resources deserve special attention. A new plant was opened for their extraction and enrichment. Hydrocarbon and mineral deposits help the development of the country's chemical industry. The work of the plant not only supports the agriculture of the Republic, but also provides a key component of export products. The launch of new chemical industry plants has a beneficial effect on the development of the economy of Turkmenistan as a whole, helping to solve socio-economic problems, in particular the emergence of new jobs and providing plant employees with their own housing. Training young specialists for future work in the chemical industry is a separate issue for local authorities. Solving this problem contributes to the successful development of industry. Students are trained in higher and secondary institutions of the state. In addition, the government is establishing connections with foreign partners so that future specialists can study abroad. Belarusian partners provide enormous support in solving this problem by organizing the enrollment of Turkmen youth in their universities and colleges. Any expenditure on training is justified, especially considering the fact that modern industrial plants use the latest technologies and installations that still need to be mastered. In addition to cooperation with Belarusian colleagues, Turkmenistan has already managed to establish economic ties with such giants of the industrial industry as LG, Hyundai, TOYO, Mitsubishi corporations located in South Korea and Japan. In addition, today the state is cooperating with Turkish partners. In parallel with the opening of new plants, existing plants are being modernized. It is safe to say that the chemical industry is the most promising sector in the Republic. And all thanks to the wealth of minerals used by the industry. Today, the products of this industry are successfully used in agriculture, in the creation of medicines, electronics, glass and paper products, household chemicals, and in many other types of industry. On March 31, ceremonial events are organized at industry plants, where employees receive sincere congratulations and encouragement from management and officials. During the celebration, the most active and conscientious specialists are rewarded for their good work. Employees are presented with certificates of honor, memorable gifts and cash bonuses.
