Turkmenistan Presents Jubilee Medal to Martin Bouygues in Paris

A ceremony in Paris on 2 November 2026 presented Martin Bouygues, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the French group Bouygues, with a jubilee medal marking the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan's Permanent Neutrality and a commemorative badge, according to the Turkmen Foreign Ministry.

Under a presidential decree, the award was presented on behalf of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov by Maksat Charyev, Turkmenistan's Ambassador to France. The ambassador praised Bouygues' contribution to interstate dialogue and the company's role in modernising the architectural appearance of the Turkmen capital.

In response, Bouygues called the medal a great honour and said Turkmenistan's neutrality reflects its commitment to its own path, peace and dialogue. In an interview, he said the award gave the group additional motivation to continue its work in Turkmenistan and strengthen ties between the two countries.
