Briefing in Moscow Highlights Turkmenistan’s Milestones and Neutrality Policy
On September 30, the Embassy of Turkmenistan in the Russian Federation hosted a briefing dedicated to three major occasions: the 34th anniversary of the country’s independence, the 30th anniversary of its permanent neutrality, and the outcomes of the recent Halk Maslahaty (People's Council) session held in Ashgabat.
The event gathered journalists, members of the Turkmen diaspora in Russia, and Turkmen students studying at Russian universities. Attendees were presented with an overview of Turkmenistan’s achievements throughout its years of independence, as well as the country’s foreign policy priorities focused on peace and international cooperation.
Speakers placed special emphasis on the recent proposals of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. A newly adopted constitutional law on the principles of peace and neutrality was described as a strategic milestone in reinforcing Turkmenistan’s role as a peace-oriented state.
The year 2025 was noted as particularly symbolic, marking both 30 years of Turkmenistan’s neutrality and the 80th anniversary of the United Nations. In connection with these anniversaries, a high-level international forum is scheduled to be held in Ashgabat this December.
Guests of the briefing also had the opportunity to review the published works of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The event concluded with a photo exhibition and a video presentation showcasing the country's progress.
