A strategically important area of the foreign policy and diplomacy of Turkmenistan is active and consolidated participation in the solution of key issues of our time and comprehensive and active assistance in building up a positive international dialogue in order to strengthen global peace and stability and to develop constructive cooperation at the regional and global levels.

As President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasises, Turkmenistan will continue the policy of neutrality based on good neighbourliness, mutual respect, equality and mutually beneficial cooperation with all states of the world. The main principles arising from the legal status of the neutrality of our state, namely: strengthening global peace and security, expanding friendly and fraternal relations based on goodwill and ensuring sustainable development on the planet, will continue to be the priority directions of the foreign policy of the independent Turkmen state.
