SAMARKAND SCO SUMMIT: Dialogue and Cooperation in the Interconnected World

The chairmanship of Uzbekistan in the SCO fell on a dynamic period, rather full of various events and trends – a period of “historical break”, when one era ends and another, still unpredictable and unknown, begins. The modern system of international cooperation, based on universal principles and norms, is beginning to break significantly. One of the main reasons for this is a deep crisis of confidence at the global level, which, in turn, provokes geopolitical confrontation and the risks of reviving stereotypes of bloc thinking. This process of mutual exclusion makes it difficult for the global economy to resume its natural course and for global supply chains to recover.

Media forum: New horizons of cooperation in the context of global initiatives of Turkmenistan

The other day, the conference hall of the State Committee of Turkmenistan on Television, Radio Broadcasting and Cinematography hosted a media forum entitled “International Initiatives of Turkmenistan: New Horizons of Cooperation”, devoted to the results of the International Ministerial Transport Conference of Landlocked Developing Countries and events timed to coincide with it. The main goal of the Forum, held in Turkmen, Russian and English, was to consider the role of the media in further strengthening international cooperation. One of the main topics discussed was the significance of new constructive initiatives put forward by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov at the International Conference held with great success in the Avaza national tourism zone on August 15-16.

New Horizons of Transport Opportunities

Strategic guidelines and priorities for integration into global transport flows were discussed at the high-level meetings in the Avaza national tourism zone. Transport development is of crucial importance in modern conditions. Today, the recognition of Turkmenistan’s contribution to international cooperation is becoming increasingly obvious, as illustrated by the adoption of the UN Resolutions at the initiative of our country. The policy of Turkmenistan, aimed at promoting continuous and consistent partnerships, was recognised by the countries participating in the forum:

Sea of Peace, Stability and Partnership

Since 2006, five Caspian Sea states, including Turkmenistan have observed the Caspian Sea Day on August 12. International meetings, scientific conferences, roundtables of environmental scientists, youth events and environmental actions are held to mark this date. Turkmenistan that is committed to maintaining peace and cooperation in the Caspian Sea region promotes a constructive dialogue based on respect for national interests of all parties and joint efforts in the implementation of promising regional projects on the entire spectrum of Caspian Sea issues. The illustrative examples include the Caspian Environment Programme (CEP), which was implemented in several stages from 1998 to 2010. The main outcome of the Programme is the adoption of the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Tehran Convention), which for a long time remained the only legal document obligatory for all the Caspian Sea states (the Caspian Sea Day marks the adoption of the Tehran Convention). One of the proposals of our country is to revive the CEP in a new format, taking into account modern realities and the newly adopted five-sided documents, in particular, the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea.

Caspian Sea is a Space of Opportunities

The Sixth Caspian Summit, successfully held in Ashgabat, became a significant political event in the context of further strengthening and developing good-neighbourly and friendly relations among the Caspian states. The activities carried out in the Caspian region by the coastal states ensure the peaceful development of this region, sustainable socioeconomic growth and environmental wellbeing. Stating the importance of the issues discussed by the heads of state at the Sixth Caspian Summit, the esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov expressed confidence that the outcome of the Ashgabat Summit would be a worthy contribution to the successful promotion of multi-vector cooperation in the Caspian region and would contribute to bringing it to a qualitatively new level. At the same time, the decisions made are also important on a global scale. The Caspian Sea and the Caspian region as a whole occupy a strategically important position on the continent. The North–South and East–West transport corridors intersect here. Thus, the Caspian region is considered a special segment of the global geo-economic space, which necessitates the integration of the transport potentials of Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Russia.
