On December 12, the Turkmen people celebrate the International Day of Neutrality and the 28th anniversary of the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the Resolution on the permanent neutrality of Turkmenistan. This glorious holiday symbolises peace, stability, good neighbourly relations with all states, based on the principles of mutual respect and equal cooperation, and the indestructible unity of the nation.

Early in the morning, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in a solemn ceremony of laying flowers at the Monument of Neutrality – a majestic memorial complex symbolising the Motherland’s unwavering commitment to the ideals of peace, creation and goodness.
