The third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC3) will be held here from 5 to 8 August 2025.
Heads of state, representatives of international organizations and expert circles from around the world are taking part in its work. Among the key guests is the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, whose participation underlines the growing role of Central Asia in global issues of sustainable development, transport connectivity and economic integration.
The Avaza zone project was presented in the summer of 2007, and already in 2009 the first hotels opened their doors to tourists. The resort became a symbol of the new tourism and investment course of Turkmenistan. Today the area of the zone exceeds 9,600 hectares, on which modern hotels, sanatoriums, a congress center, yacht clubs, a water park and spacious beaches are located.
The infrastructure of the complex is impressive in its scale: more than 35 accommodation facilities have been built – hotels, cottages, sanatoriums and health centers, a congress center with an area of 130 thousand square meters, as well as a 7-kilometer shipping canal, along which embankments, parks and bike paths are laid. In recent years, Avaza has become not only a place of rest, but also a center for international forums, cultural events and business meetings.
The successful example of Avaza inspires other countries in the region. In Uzbekistan, on the shore of the Charvak reservoir, the Sea Breeze project will be implemented – a new resort cluster of international level. It is planned to build modern hotels, recreational and sports areas here, and special attention is paid to environmental standards: investors are required to take all sewage water to the Chirchik treatment facilities. Like Avaza, Sea Breeze is focused not only on domestic tourism, but also on attracting international guests, turning into a platform for sustainable tourism, cultural events and, in the future, diplomatic formats.
This parallel course demonstrates how countries in the region – without direct access to the sea – are finding new ways to integrate into global tourism and economic processes. New-generation resorts are becoming not just places of rest, but also symbols of openness, sustainability and international cooperation.
As part of the LLDC3 conference, Avaza is hosting the “Central Asian Culture Days” — a large-scale event aimed at demonstrating the richness of the historical heritage, art, and traditions of the region. This event is not only a cultural showcase, but also a way to strengthen regional dialogue and mutual understanding. Performances by creative groups, craft exhibitions, demonstrations of national cuisine and clothing — all this creates a unique atmosphere of cultural unity of Central Asia in Avaza against the backdrop of a global discussion of the problems and prospects of “closed” countries.
Holding the LLDC3 conference in Avaza is a symbolic and strategic initiative. Landlocked Turkmenistan is itself an active participant in the global discussion on the rights and opportunities of landlocked countries. Avaza, as the face of the new Turkmenistan, is becoming a platform for discussing integration, logistics, sustainable development and international solidarity.
In this context, Uzbekistan’s participation is of particular importance. The country is actively promoting the ideas of developing a green economy, transregional transport corridors and international tourism – and the Sea Breeze project, as well as President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s participation in the LLDC3 conference, is a reflection of this course.
