On October 7, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, delivered a speech at the 12th Summit of the Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States, held in Azerbaijan.

&ldquo;The Organization of Turkic States is an international structure that unites our friendly peoples, based on shared history, culture, spiritual heritage, and language. Its main goal is to strengthen unity, the bonds of friendship and brotherhood among the countries of the Turkic world, and to coordinate joint efforts and actions at both regional and international levels.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to remind you that, on the initiative of Turkmenistan, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2025 as the International Year of Peace and Trust. We extend a respectful invitation to all of you to attend the upcoming International Forum in Ashgabat on December 12 of this year, dedicated to this landmark event and the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s neutrality,&rdquo; noted the Hero-Arkadag of Turkmenistan.

&ldquo;Within the framework of relations between Turkic states, special importance is given to the cultural and humanitarian sphere. Cooperation in this area plays a vital role in preserving, developing, and promoting the unique national characteristics and spiritual values of our peoples around the world. In this regard, we propose strengthening efforts to organize joint cultural and public events. In particular, we are doing a great deal to organize Days of Culture, theatrical performances, various exhibitions, and film screenings.

We plan to hold Days of Turkmen Culture in Azerbaijan in the near future.

We are also making efforts to promote the carpet weaving traditions of our two peoples, as well as to cooperate in reviving the ancient art of horse breeding, particularly of the Akhal-Teke and Karabakh breeds. We are confident that these events will significantly contribute to the development of cultural ties. We also consider it appropriate to hold similar events with other brotherly countries.

Guided by the legacy of our ancestors to develop relations of friendship and brotherhood, Turkmenistan is always ready for more constructive and closer cooperation with all member states of the Organization of Turkic States to achieve the noble goals mentioned earlier, as well as to address the important tasks ahead,&rdquo; emphasized the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty.

In conclusion, the National Leader of the Turkmen people wished everyone good health and great success in their work, and to the fraternal peoples of the Turkic states &ndash; well-being, prosperity, and a peaceful and happy life.

Turkmenistan’s Fuel and Energy Complex Shows Strong Results for the First Nine Months of 2025

The discussions and decisions made at the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC3), held in Avaza in August of this year, have resonated globally.

One of the main topics was the promotion of reforms in landlocked developing countries through technology and innovation, which underscored the crucial role of technological advancement in ensuring sustainable reform. In particular, the implementation of modern technologies in transport logistics and the use of smart transport systems were noted as contributing factors to reducing trade and transport costs by simplifying and accelerating the flow of goods.

The development of e-commerce was identified as a key area for economic diversification and for overcoming the geographical constraints faced by landlocked developing nations. The sustainable growth of this system requires coordinated efforts by institutional structures, based on an efficient digital public infrastructure. These institutional structures of the e-commerce system are understood as the set of rules, regulations, tools, and mechanisms that govern and support the functioning of online trade. They ensure the reliability, security, and efficiency of electronic transactions.

As Turkmenistan celebrates the 34th anniversary of its independence, the country has, in a relatively short time, gained significant international recognition as a democratic, secular, and law-based state. These achievements have been made possible under the policy of Permanent Neutrality, which forms the foundation of the country&#39;s national strategy.

In the Era of Revival of a Powerful State, Turkmenistan has put forward international initiatives aimed at strengthening global peace, mutual understanding, and sustainable development. These efforts are rooted in foreign policy principles that prioritize stability and cooperation.

The legal status of Turkmenistan&#39;s Permanent Neutrality, recognized three times by United Nations General Assembly resolutions, has further solidified the country&#39;s constructive role in international peacebuilding. This status enables Turkmenistan to act as a reliable partner both regionally and globally.

Permanent Neutrality and preventive diplomacy are fundamental pillars of Turkmenistan&#39;s foreign policy. Their synergy plays an important role in building trust and promoting dialogue between nations. Turkmenistan firmly adheres to the principles of non-interference in internal affairs, equal partnership, and mutual respect.

Currently, the state policy pursued under the leadership of esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov fully aligns with the international legal framework and core principles of neutrality. This policy not only ensures domestic stability but also reinforces trust and cooperation in the international arena.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s foreign policy strategy is aimed at fostering broad international partnerships by expanding cooperation in the fields of energy, transport, and investment. At the same time, the country actively continues its engagement with the United Nations. The adoption of numerous resolutions by the UN General Assembly upon Turkmenistan&rsquo;s initiative is a clear indicator of the global community&rsquo;s confidence in the country.

Notably, in March of this year, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution titled &ldquo;Permanent Neutrality of Turkmenistan&rdquo; for the third time. This stands as another remarkable success for Turkmenistan&rsquo;s diplomacy on the global stage.

Turkmenistan&#39;s worthy contribution to strengthening peace and trust across the world is a clear testament to the effective implementation of its policy of Permanent Neutrality. Based on these principles, the country&rsquo;s foreign policy will continue along a stable and productive path.
