Today, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, arrived in the Turkmen capital on a visit. About this report official media of Turkmenistan.
As is known, one of the key vectors of the foreign policy of neutral Turkmenistan, laid down by the National Leader of the Turkmen people and now implemented by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, is effective cooperation with the UN and active participation in the development of solutions on pressing issues of the global agenda of our time. At the same time, it should be noted that the main aspects of the “open door” policy of our state are to strengthen peace and universal security, broad international partnership in the name of ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of all countries, and the well-being of people.
The growing authority of Turkmenistan in the international arena is also evidenced by the repeated election of our country as Vice-Chairman of the UN General Assembly and as a member of important structural institutions of this authoritative organization, the opening of the UN Regional Center for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia in Ashgabat on the initiative of Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
In turn, the UN Secretary-General emphasized that he was glad to visit Ashgabat once again. As noted, the United Nations sees Turkmenistan as a reliable and responsible partner and is interested in further developing the established fruitful cooperation that meets the goals of universal well-being and progress. At the same time, the uniqueness of the international legal status of the permanent neutrality of the Turkmen state, which steadily follows the chosen peace-loving foreign policy based on the principles of good neighborliness, equality, and mutually beneficial partnership with all interested countries, was noted.
In continuation, the guest expressed sincere gratitude to Hero-Arkadag for his great personal contribution to strengthening bilateral cooperation, which in recent years has acquired new quality and content. At the same time, Antonio Guterres highly appreciated the efforts of the National Leader of the Turkmen people in addressing issues related to the reduction and prevention of statelessness.
