President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov made a working visit to Lebap province on Wednesday and participated in the opening ceremony of the second phase of the Lebap Cement Plant with a capacity of 1 million tons of cement per year in the Koytendag district in the eastern region of the country.

The significant industrial facility, constructed and commissioned by the Turkmen Enjam Economic Society nearby the first Lebap Cement Plant, integrates the latest achievements of modern industrial production.

The new plant, designed to produce 1 million tons of cement annually, is equipped with machinery that meets the high-quality standards of leading global manufacturers.
