President Putin is participating today, Friday, in a forum dedicated to the International Year of Peace and Trust, the International Day of Neutrality, and in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s permanent neutrality.
It is noteworthy that the United Nations General Assembly declared the International Year of Peace and Trust during its 78th session, based on Turkmenistan’s initiative, supported by 86 countries. The initiative aims to promote dialogue and cooperation among nations.
Turkmenistan is a country with a neutral status enshrined in its constitution, recognized internationally for the first time in 1995. In 2017, at the initiative of Ashgabat, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring December 12 as the International Day of Neutrality.
