ASHGABAT, Dec. 9– Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov has published a new book titled “Turkmenistan’s Neutrality — The Bright Path of Peace and Trust,” Turkmen media Golden Age reported on Sunday.
The book underscores the importance of Turkmenistan’s permanent neutral status and outlines the country’s efforts to promote peace and trust worldwide.
It also notes that Turkmenistan has signed around 30 cooperation documents with United Nations-related agencies operating in the country, covering areas such as maternal and child healthcare, education and social services for children.
The book-launch event was held at the Institute of International Relations under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, according to the report.
Atendees agreed that Turkmenistan’s neutral policy, upheld for 30 years, has yielded significant progress and achievements across various aspects of modern life.
They said the policy has provided a reliable foundation for effective international cooperation and has become an important instrument for safeguarding regional and global stability.
On Dec. 12, 1995, the 50th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing and supporting Turkmenistan’s status as a permanently neutral state.
Under its neutrality policy, Turkmenistan pledges to ensure domestic stability, uphold human rights, develop equal diplomatic relations with other countries, refrain from joining political, economic and military organizations or alliances, and renounce the possession and use of weapons of mass destruction.
