The President of Turkmenistan invited the CIS countries to the first Security Meeting in Central Asia
Recent international events clearly demonstrate that maintaining peace, strengthening security and stability will be the main priorities of world politics, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov said at the summit of CIS heads of state in Bishkek.
“In this context, today Turkmenistan, taking into account the realities and trends of world development, proposes to begin discussing the possibilities of developing a Global Security Strategy under the auspices of the UN. We voiced this initiative during the 78th session of the General Assembly,” the President of Turkmenistan noted.
According to Serdar Berdimuhamedov, the Strategy should include three important areas. The first is the principles of preventive diplomacy as a tool for preventing and neutralizing conflicts and threats, eradicating the causes that give rise to them. The second is the use of the potential of positive neutrality as a political and legal category. Third, the restoration of a culture of confidential dialogue as a guarantee of peace.
“We consider the development of the Strategy as an important step towards strengthening the atmosphere of mutual understanding and cooperation, including within the Commonwealth, also to resolve pressing issues of a political, economic, environmental, nature conservation, humanitarian nature, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in general” , - the TDH news agency quotes the head of Turkmenistan.
The President noted that Turkmenistan’s proposals to create a Security Conference in Central Asia under the auspices of the UN are relevant for the format of cooperation within the Commonwealth.
The head of state emphasized that the goal of the Meeting is to develop approaches and solutions aimed at bringing together and synchronizing the efforts of the countries of Central Asia and other interested states, international organizations, financial and economic institutions in ensuring sustainable, conflict-free development of the region.
Serdar Berdimuhamedov invited the Commonwealth countries to take part in the first meeting of the Conference in Ashgabat next year.
