History
Turkmenistan gained independence from the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on 26 December 1991. Throughout the post-Soviet era, Turkmenistan has taken a neutral position on almost all international issues. He offered limited support to the military campaign against the 
Taliban following the 11 September 2001 attacks. Between 2002 and 2004, serious tension arose between Turkmenistan and 
Uzbekistan because of bilateral disputes and Turkmenistan thinks that Uzbekistan had a role in a 2002 assassination attempt. In 2004, a series of bilateral treaties restored friendly relations. The year 2006 saw intensification of the trends of arbitrary policy changes, shuffling of top officials, diminishing economic output outside the oil and gas sector, and 
isolation from regional and world organizations. 
China was among a very few nations to whom Turkmenistan made significant overtures.
Economy
The country possesses the world's fourth largest reserves of natural gas and substantial oil resources. Turkmenistan has taken a cautious approach to economic reform, hoping to use gas and cotton sales to sustain its economy. In 2019, the unemployment rate was estimated to be 4.27%.
Between 1998 and 2002, Turkmenistan suffered from the continued lack of adequate export routes for natural gas and from obligations on extensive short-term external debt. At the same time, however, the value of total exports rose sharply due to increases in international oil and gas prices. The subsequent collapse of both hydrocarbon and cotton prices in 2014 cut revenues from export sales severely, causing Turkmenistan to run trade deficits from 2015 through 2017. Economic prospects in the near future are discouraging because of widespread internal poverty and the burden of foreign debt, coupled with continued low hydrocarbon prices and reduced Chinese purchases of natural gas. One reflection of economic stress is the black-market exchange rate for the Turkmen manat, which though officially set at 3.5 manats to the 
US dollar, reportedly was trading in November 2022 at 18.5 manats to the dollar.
