In honour of the 34th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence, the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE), was illuminated with the country's National Flag. This was reported by the press service of the Consulate of Turkmenistan in the UAE.

The event was held as part of a tradition in which friendly states decorate their high-rise buildings with the national symbols of Turkmenistan to congratulate the people on their main national holiday.

The impressive light installation transformed the 828-metre skyscraper into a brightly shining red and green column with Turkmen ornaments, a crescent moon and five stars.

Such events highlight the friendly and fraternal relations between Turkmenistan and the UAE, as well as the international community's attention to the celebration of the country's Independence Day.
