The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov spoke at the forum of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Kazan and presented an initiative in the field of education and enlightenment. This was reported by the publication “Turkmenistan: Golden Age”.
He proposed launching the program “Islamic Poetic Dialogue: Wisdom and the Connection of Centuries.” The project is aimed at popularizing the philosophical and literary heritage of the Muslim world—from antiquity to the present day. As a first step, it was proposed to create a “World Anthology of Islamic Poetry,” which would bring together works by poets, thinkers, and philosophers of the Islamic world.
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted that humanitarian cooperation with ISESCO remains one of the priorities of Turkmenistan’s foreign policy. He also emphasized the country’s commitment to developing inter-civilizational dialogue and promoting humanistic values.
