Transport and Telecommunication Workers Day is observed in Turkmenistan every March 7. This official professional holiday was established by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow in October 2017, with the first celebration occurring in 2018. The day commemorates the opening of two new bridges across the Amu Darya River, which enhanced connectivity between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, marking a significant development in the country's transport, telecommunication, and trade sectors. The holiday highlights the importance of the transport system in Turkmenistan, which includes airways, railways, roadways, seaways, and pipelines. Notably, Turkmenistan is part of an international transport corridor connecting Central Asia to the Persian Gulf, established under the Ashgabat agreement in 2011. This day serves to recognize the contributions of workers in these vital sectors.
