President of Turkmenistan congratulates conference participants on the 80th anniversary of the UN

On October 23, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov congratulated the participants on the opening of the conference held on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

“Considering that independent and neutral Turkmenistan, as a full subject of international relations, is actively expanding strategic cooperation with the United Nations, I would like to emphasize that this conference, held in our white marble capital — Ashgabat, carries significant foreign policy importance.

The recognition of the legal status of permanent neutrality of our independent homeland in accordance with three UN General Assembly Resolutions enhances the international authority of our democratic, lawful, secular state and our constructive and peace-loving people. The foreign policy and diplomatic experience accumulated over the past historical period clearly demonstrates that the policy of neutrality fully corresponds to our national interests and the goals of the United Nations.

In this regard, I am confident that the conference agenda will include, along with important issues of peace, security, and sustainable development, topics related to Turkmenistan’s significant contribution to joint global efforts to implement international initiatives,” the head of state noted.

“Neutrality is the key to our rapid development and a great opportunity to realize the centuries-old dream of our courageous ancestors for peace and stability, friendship, and good neighborliness.

The legal status of permanent neutrality of our independent country serves as a solid international legal basis for the consistent expansion of political, economic, and cultural ties with such authoritative international organizations as the United Nations, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, as well as with states around the world, and for the consolidation of efforts for peace, trust, and universal development,” the president emphasized.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov wished all participants good health, inexhaustible happiness, peaceful and prosperous lives, and great success in their work for the further prosperity of the country.
