Dear compatriots!
I sincerely congratulate you on World Bicycle Day! I am convinced that the events to be organized in the year under the motto “Turkmenistan – Homeland of Peace and Trust” on the occasion of World Bicycle Day, symbolizing peaceful and friendly relations, will be important in strengthening the health of our citizens and ensuring environmental well-being.
Today, Turkmenistan, guided by national and universal interests, calls for the unification of international efforts. The adoption three years ago, at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, at the initiative of our state, a special Resolution that approved the World Bicycle Day on June 3 each year, increased the authority of Turkmenistan in the world arena as a country of health and happiness, became evidence of the recognition that our independent The Homeland attaches great importance to human health, which is the highest value of society and the state.
World Bicycle Day has a special place in the national calendar. This date symbolizes the triumph of the high principles of friendship and peace, sport and humanism, the unity and cohesion of our society.
In order to improve the environment in the main city of the Homeland, create a favorable environment, on the initiative of the capital’s khyakimlik and public organizations of Turkmenistan, from May 10 to 25 of 2021 days without vehicles were announced in Ashgabat. Restricting the movement of vehicles, except for public transport serving the population, has become one of the actions implemented to ensure the environmental well-being of the country’s main city. Mass bicycle rides and other events took place in the capital these days.
