Implementing the principles of peacefulness and the policy of permanent neutrality, Turkmenistan actively puts forward more and more topical international initiatives within the framework of the prevailing realities. Currently, the existing turbulence in international relations requires from states to have more balanced approaches to solving modern challenges. And in this direction, our country is making a feasible contribution to the strengthening of peace and sustainable development. In this context, the priority positions of Turkmenistan at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly fully reflect the peaceful and constructive policy of neutral Turkmenistan, the President of the country Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.

The initiatives consistently put forward by the President of our country on topical areas of world and regional politics vividly demonstrate the dynamic nature and active role of the Turkmen state on the international arena. The foreign-policy strategy of ensuring the national interests of the country today, more than ever, is closely combined with the global tasks of ensuring international peace and security, consolidating efforts to combat threats and challenges to modern humanity and developing and strengthening regional cooperation to further expand trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian ties.
