The first days of spring are traditionally marked in our country by events to mark International women's day. The celebrations, which give profound meaning to the historically significant events of the year «Independent neutral Turkmenistan – the homeland of purposeful winged horses», have become a vivid symbol of the honour and respect shown at the state level to dear mothers and women.

In honour of the happy women of our prosperous homeland, in anticipation of this bright holiday, inspiring events are being held in every corner of the country, which confidently advances to the heights of progress with the swift gait of a steed. This further increases the love of the nation for the sacred Fatherland and pride in the prosperous life in a happy epoch.

The presentation of cash gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan to women working in all sectors, girls in kindergartens, and female students studying in their chosen fields, as well as the summing up of the results of the «Talyp gözeli» creative competition among female university students and the holding of celebratory conferences and musical events on the occasion of International women's day demonstrated the great importance attached in our country to the celebration of this glorious date.

As noted in speeches at the ceremonial forums, selfless women are the support of the family, a model of moral beauty, and an adornment to the home. The veneration and high respect for women are evidence that the original national traditions, rooted deep into the millennia, are developing and further improving in accordance with the spirit of the modern epoch and the noble ideals of the Turkmen people.

In our country, efforts are being made at the state level to ensure that these good traditions, which connect different eras and generations, continue into the future.

To mark International women's day, festive musical events, art exhibitions, competitions, and creative meetings are being held in parks, cultural, and educational centres in the cities of Ashgabat and Arkadag, as well as throughout the velayats of the country. All this clearly demonstrates the high esteem in which women are held, who make a great contribution to increasing the glory and authority of our beloved Fatherland.

It has become a good tradition to award leading female workers with the «Zenan kalby» order for special achievements in the implementation of large-scale reforms and national programs, as well as successes in work and public life, as well as to award mothers of large families with the honorary title «Ene mähri» and to hand over keys to new modern apartments to large families in honour of International women's day.

The continuation of these traditions in the year «Independent neutral Turkmenistan – the homeland of purposeful winged horses» is an appreciation of the enormous role women play in society and their efforts to educate generations in the spirit of patriotism and hard work. The events organised to mark International women's day embody the pride and love of our entire nation for our dear mothers and women.

In the modern epoch, women in our country, faithful to such primordial spiritual qualities as patriotism, nobility, and devotion to the family hearth, make a significant contribution to the improvement and continuity of these foundations, which leads to the strengthening of their role in society.

Large-scale events and musical celebrations organized to mark International women's day provide wonderful, inspiring and uplifting moments. Songs and music, imbued with a high spirit, reflect respect for women, the greatness of their dignity, as well as love for their mother and native Fatherland. This is further evidence that the prosperous and peaceful life of our people is filled with joy and unforgettable moments.

Today, mothers and women are making a significant contribution to the large-scale transformations and great achievements being carried out in our country under the leadership of the President of Turkmenistan. They work creatively and selflessly in all areas to implement ambitious reforms and successfully implement adopted state programs.

The tireless work and talent of our girls and women have allowed us to create outstanding examples of decorative and applied art. The inclusion of the Turkmen national art of carpet weaving and Turkmen embroidery on the Representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, further enhances the worldwide fame of our national values, which have their roots deep in the depths of millennia.

Among the events organised to mark this significant holiday are exhibitions that highlight the virtues of women. Works of art, born of the talent of artists, are a high assessment of handicrafts, selfless labour, and the sacred mission of Turkmen women, such as raising the younger generation. This noble cause elevates the dignity of Turkmen women. Participants in the celebrations organized in honour of International women's day express their gratitude to the President of Turkmenistan, as well as to Hero-Arkadag, for creating the conditions for participation in events commemorating significant dates of national significance, and for the opportunity to join in extending good wishes to women.

In the era of the Revival of the new epoch of the powerful state, thanks to the successful implementation of the grandiose reforms initiated by Hero-Arkadag and now successfully continued under the leadership of Arkadagly Hero Serdar, great importance is attached at the state level to the affirmation of the principles of a healthy lifestyle, the preservation of national values created by our people throughout history, and their transmission to future generations.

At the same time, respect for the rights and interests of women, protection of the family, motherhood and childhood are important conditions for the sustainable development of modern society. The measures taken in this direction are aimed at ensuring a happy life for women. All of this clearly demonstrates the successful implementation of the noble principle of the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov: «The Motherland is the Motherland only with the people! A state is a state only with the people!».

Celebrations to mark International women's day, widely celebrated during the spring awakening of the generous Turkmen land and beautiful nature, spread throughout the country. This has become a shining symbol of the high regard in which mothers and women are held in our country.
