Turkmenistan Proposes Establishing a University of Peace and Neutrality in Cooperation with the UN
Speaking at the International Forum of Peace and Trust held in Ashgabat, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov put forward an initiative to establish a University of Peace and Neutrality in partnership with the United Nations. The proposal is aimed at strengthening the practical dimension of neutrality, as well as advancing research and educational activities in this field.
According to the head of state, the proposed university would build upon the United Nations’ extensive experience in peacebuilding and serve as a platform for applying the broad range of political and diplomatic tools of preventive diplomacy. The institution would also contribute to a deeper academic understanding and practical implementation of neutrality.
President Berdimuhamedov expressed hope that this initiative would receive international support and stated Turkmenistan’s readiness to engage in detailed discussions with partners on both substantive and organizational aspects of the project.
He further emphasized that Turkmenistan’s example of pursuing constructive, mutually beneficial, and friendly international relations based on a policy of neutrality demonstrates the significant potential of neutrality and its application in various regions of the world.
