Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan held a briefing on the results of the international forum dedicated to the 300th anniversary of Magtymguly Fragi's birth "The Interconnection of Times and Civilizations - the Basis of the Modern World and Development".

The event was attended by heads and employees of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations accredited in Turkmenistan, representatives of local and foreign media.

During the briefing, it was emphasized that the relevance of the forum, which took place on October 11 in Ashgabat, is due to the fact that Magtymguly has become one of the symbols of the unification of countries and peoples on the principles of humanism and justice, solidarity and cooperation. While in other lands, the great poet brought knowledge about the Turkmen people, their traditions, customs to the people living there, thereby promoting dialogue and interpenetration of cultures.

Today, the foreign policy of independent Turkmenistan continues the ideas and views of Magtymguly about the world, the role and place of the Turkmen people in it. These ideas formed the basis of the content of Turkmenistan's neutrality. It was noted at the briefing that next year the country will celebrate the 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality and is open to new creative initiatives in the name of peace, security and sustainable development.
