Yesterday, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov left on a
working visit to the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation in order
to participate in the XVI BRICS Summit. The head of state was seen off by
officials at the Ashgabat International Airport.
One of the priority vectors of Turkmenistan's foreign policy strategy,
based on the principles of positive neutrality, peacefulness and constructive
cooperation, is the development of fruitful dialogue with authoritative
regional and international organizations and structures. Striving to realize
its peacekeeping and creative potential for the common good, our country comes
up with specific initiatives, the relevance and demand of which are confirmed
by the realities of the time.
Neutral Turkmenistan actively participates in the efforts of the
international community aimed at ensuring global peace and security, achieving
the Sustainable Development Goals. Being aimed at an equal mutually beneficial
partnership that meets common interests, our country demonstrates openness to
expanding its range and geography.
A clear confirmation of this is the current working visit of President
Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Kazan, which became the venue for the next BRICS
Summit. The fact that the head of the Turkmen state was invited to the current
summit as an honorary guest is evidence of the high international authority of
the Fatherland, recognition of its proactive and responsible position in
matters of bilateral and multilateral cooperation with foreign partners. It
should also be noted that this is the first participation of the President of
Turkmenistan in the BRICS Summit.
As is known, this interstate association was founded in 2006 within the
framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The goal of BRICS
activities is the development of a consistent, active, equal dialogue and
effective cooperation.
As for the traditionally friendly relations between Turkmenistan and the
Russian Federation, which are of a strategic nature, their integral component
is the strengthening of close cooperation with the largest regions and subjects
of the Russian Federation. Here, a good example is the long-term productive
partnership with the Republic of Tatarstan, built on the principles of
long-termism, mutual benefit and solid positive experience of joint work.
A reliable foundation for Turkmen-Tatar cooperation was laid by regular
meetings and negotiations at various levels. In recent years, new impetus has
been given to bilateral trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian ties. The
existing potential creates favorable opportunities for entering new promising
areas of cooperation, diversifying business contacts.
For centuries, our peoples have maintained friendly relations based on
common cultures, similar languages, common religion, equality and respect for
each other. The high level of mutual understanding and trust inherent in the
Turkmen-Tatarstan dialogue is a solid foundation for the constructive
development of bilateral cooperation. Mutual participation of representatives
of Turkmenistan and the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation in
major international events and national festive celebrations has become a good
tradition. Regular bilateral meetings and visits fully contribute to the
development of a multifaceted partnership on an ascending line. Thus, in May of
this year, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk
Maslakhaty Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov made a working visit to
Kazan, where he took part in the XV International Economic Forum "Russia -
Islamic World: KazanForum" as an honorary guest.
It is also noteworthy that this month the delegation of the Russian
Federation, headed by President Vladimir Putin, which included the head of the
Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnikhanov, took part
in the International Forum "Interconnection of Times and Civilizations -
the Basis of Peace and Development", dedicated to the 300th anniversary of
the birth of the great Turkmen poet and thinker of the East Makhtumkuli Fragi.
Having flown to Kazan, the presidential airliner landed at the Gabdulla
Tukay International Airport. Here the distinguished guest was given a warm and
cordial welcome. At the airport, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov was warmly
welcomed by the head of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation
Rustam Minnikhanov and other officials.
In the afternoon, the head of Turkmenistan proceeded to the Kazan EXPO
International Exhibition Center.
Here, the heads of delegations and international organizations
participating in the XVI BRICS Summit were warmly welcomed by the President of
the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
A reception was given in honor of the distinguished guests on behalf of the
head of the Russian Federation.
The working visit of the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov to
the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation continues.
