The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Mahri Bashimova, concluded a working visit to the Republic of Croatia to represent the nation at the high-profile international Dubrovnik Forum, convened under the theme "The Era of Multipolarity: Multiplicity of Vectors, One Future." The global symposium brought together senior government officials and foreign policy leaders from more than 30 countries, alongside directors of international organizations, academic experts, and corporate executives. The thematic sessions of the assembly focused heavily on shaping a modern global diplomatic architecture, addressing industrial transformations, stabilizing international supply chains, securing energy corridors, and managing the integration of artificial intelligence systems.

During the panel session titled "Common Values in a Multipolar World: What Can We Learn from One Another?", the Turkmen representative presented Ashgabat's comprehensive approach to modern international relations. The address focused extensively on the constructive nature of Turkmenistan’s permanent positive neutrality and its institutional experience in fostering cross-border cooperation. Bashimova emphasized that Turkmenistan strictly advocates for a global order rooted in mutual respect for national sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, peaceful dispute resolution, and rigorous adherence to the United Nations Charter.

On the sidelines of the forum, the Turkmen diplomat held a series of strategic bilateral talks with European counterparts. In a meeting with Frano Matusic, State Secretary for Political Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Croatia, both sides evaluated the active parameters of Turkmen-Croatian relations. The officials discussed accelerating the mechanisms of the joint Intergovernmental Commission, strengthening economic cooperation, addressing ecological safety, and building direct business-to-business networks between the commercial sectors of both nations.
