The Third United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries (LLDC3) is currently underway in Avaza, Turkmenistan, with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in attendance. According to a report by Liter.kz, this conference is a continuation of previous conferences and aims to provide strategic solutions for the sustainable development of landlocked developing countries.
The five-day event, which started on August 5 and continues until August 8, 2025, is focusing on addressing the geographic constraints these countries face in accessing seaports and trade routes, with the ultimate goal of supporting their economic growth and integration into the global economy.
Key elements of the conference agenda include facilitating trade and transport connectivity improvements, promoting structural transformation and technology adoption, enhancing climate resilience, mobilizing international support and partnerships, and aligning national actions, regional integration, and global policies to accelerate sustainable development. This is encapsulated in the Awaza Programme of Action (2024–2034), which follows lessons from the previous Vienna Programme of Action and seeks to place LLDCs on a more inclusive and dynamic development trajectory while protecting them from future shocks.
President Tokayev's attendance underscores Turkmenistan’s leadership and diplomatic commitment to global cooperation and supporting LLDCs. The conference also demonstrates close coordination between Turkmenistan and the UN to elevate the global dialogue on LLDC development challenges and opportunities.
