The Academy of Public Administration under the President of Turkmenistan hosted a scientific and practical conference on the role of the country's neutrality in strengthening stability in Central Asia and the world. This was reported by IIC.

Experts from CIS countries and UN representatives discussed how permanent neutrality status contributes to the development of science, education and interregional cooperation.

The rector of the Academy, A. Annamyradov, emphasised that over the past 30 years, neutrality has become an important tool for the development of the state and a platform for international dialogue.

Forum participants also noted that the policy of neutrality strengthens regional security and helps promote the Sustainable Development Goals, including initiatives presented by President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

Honoured Diplomat of Turkmenistan Amangeldi Rahmanov emphasised that the country promotes the ideas of peace through specific projects, from scientific programmes to educational platforms, which makes it a reliable partner for neighbouring states.

Examples included growing academic mobility and joint research with universities in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Russia on sustainable development, humanitarian cooperation and digital transformation.

The forum confirmed that neutrality remains a stable foundation for multilateral initiatives.
