Turkmenistan has put forward the initiative to hold a World Summit focused on the culture of peace and fostering trust among nations. This was announced by President Serdar Berdimuhamedow during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
“We believe that the process of aligning state approaches to global development trends, as well as establishing and strengthening trust and mutual understanding, must be systematic and consistent,” the Turkmen leader emphasized.
A key objective of the summit will be to develop a global code of international trust, which will serve as a universal foundation for building relations between countries based on respect, sovereignty, territorial integrity, as well as cooperation and joint efforts to address global challenges.

Detroit High School Students Eligible for Up to $1,000 for Perfect Attendance
23 Aug. 18:09High school students in Detroit, Michigan, who maintain consistent school attendance can earn up to $1,000 in electronic gift cards. According to Fox News, high schoolers receive a $100 digital gift card for every week of uninterrupted class attendance. Students can earn $400 across four weeks, with total incentives reaching up to $1,000 during the 10-week winter period.
The attendance incentive model demonstrated strong results between January and March 2026, when approximately 12,800 high school students—representing 84% of the district's high school population—qualified for the payments. Concurrently, chronic absenteeism dropped from 64% to 54%. Following this success, the program has been extended through the 2026–2027 academic year and expanded to include students in grades 6–8, who will receive $50 for each week of full attendance.
The school district allocated $13.9 million from its overall budget to combat unexcused absences. The program maintains strict criteria: a single unexcused absence during any given school week forfeits the student's eligibility for that week's reward.
