The Moscow "Russian Song" Theater hosted the opening ceremony of Turkmenistan Culture Days in the Russian Federation. This large-scale event, which has become traditional for the two friendly countries, became a vibrant and emotional celebration of the mutual enrichment of national traditions. An atmosphere of high art greeted guests in the foyer, where an exhibition from the collections of the State Museum of Turkmenistan unfolded. Jewelry masterpieces, museum rarities, intricate hand embroidery, and handmade carpets presented the sophisticated Moscow audience with the monumental artistic heritage of the Turkmen people, in which each ornament conveys centuries-old history.

The celebration brought together a distinguished audience: from heads of Russian government agencies and foreign diplomats to academics, prominent representatives of the business community, and the large Turkmen diaspora. Speakers at the ceremony agreed that this cultural bridge serves as the best confirmation of the deep, neighborly ties that have logically and dynamically developed in recent history. Against the backdrop of pragmatic trade and economic agreements, cultural dialogue remains the most subtle and visible tool for interstate rapprochement, demonstrating the absolute continuity of spiritual ties.

The musical performance itself was a true revelation for the audience, with Turkmen artists masterfully blending ancient authentic folklore, classical traditions, and contemporary pop art. Turkmen students from Moscow universities added a special emotional touch to the evening—their sincere pride in their native culture was conveyed to the entire audience, who burst into applause after each performance.

Turkmen Culture Days are not limited to the stage: their program is focused on deep professional integration among expert communities. Relevant agencies and creative intellectuals have prepared a busy schedule of direct contacts. In particular, the leadership and students of the M. Kulieva Turkmen National Conservatory are invited to the legendary P. I. Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory to exchange academic experience.

Representatives of Turkmenistan's fine arts will hold substantive talks on joint exhibition projects with the management of the State Tretyakov Gallery, and an expert roundtable discussion of literary scholars will take place at the M. I. Rudomino All-Russian Library for Foreign Literature.

The final chord of this intense Moscow marathon will be a gala concert of Turkmen artists, which will take place on June 6 on the renowned stage of the Et Cetera Theater.
