Ashgabat will host talks between the President of Turkmenistan and the UN Secretary-General

On June 13, Ashgabat will host negotiations between President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who arrived in the Turkmen capital on a working visit.

Becoming the UN member in 1992, Turkmenistan was awarded the unique neutral status in 1995, delegated by the UN with the consensus of 185 countries of the world.

The repeated election of Turkmenistan during recent years by Vice-President of the UN General Assembly, entry into the Organization’s important structural entities, opening of a Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia in Ashgabat at the initiative of President Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov testifies to our country’s authority growth in the international arena.

Creative initiatives, being put forward by Turkmenistan at the sessions of the UN General Assembly are focused on strengthening the cooperation within the declared UN Agenda for sustainable development until 2030.

The current visit of the UN Secretary-General, which main item of the program is the meeting of António Guterres with President Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov, is expected to become the next significant step towards strategic partnership.
