BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Turkmenistan
discussed long-term cooperation on sustainable transport with a
global center supporting the UN transport agenda.
This was reflected in a press release published by the
Government of Turkmenistan on July 8 following a meeting between
Turkmenistan's Permanent Representative to the UN and the
leadership of the Global Sustainable Transport Innovation and
Knowledge Center (GSTIKC), an international platform that promotes
the UN sustainable transport agenda through research, innovation
and knowledge sharing.
"The parties paid particular attention to preparations for a
joint thematic event scheduled for July 8, dedicated to promoting
the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport through stronger
international partnerships, data-driven solutions and coordinated
efforts to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development," the government said.
According to the press release, the meeting focused on
developing systematic cooperation to support initiatives under the
UN Decade of Sustainable Transport for 2026-2035.
The sides also discussed practical mechanisms for advancing the
initiative, including stronger international partnerships,
innovative approaches and experience sharing. They reaffirmed their
readiness to deepen cooperation in support of the Sustainable
Development Goals, the government noted.
Turkmenistan has been one of the leading advocates of
sustainable transport at the United Nations, promoting a series of
General Assembly resolutions on the issue. In December 2025, the UN
General Assembly adopted, at Turkmenistan's initiative, a
resolution proclaiming the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport for
2026-2035. The Global Sustainable Transport Innovation and
Knowledge Center supports the initiative through research,
data-driven policymaking and international knowledge-sharing.
