At the parliamentary forum held as part of the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3), a UNICEF representative emphasised the importance of trust and transparent governance as the foundation for successful development. This was reported by IIC Turkmenistan.

The organisation's expert noted that progress is possible not only through economic measures, but also due to the establishment of dialogue between the state and citizens.

UNICEF, working in 190 countries, actively helps such states to strengthen institutions, ensure accountability of authorities and involve vulnerable groups, including children, in the decision-making process.

Successful examples include cooperation with the parliaments of Turkmenistan, Laos, Burkina Faso and Nepal. Particular attention is paid to the establishment of children's rights committees and the involvement of young people in governance, which contributes to more equitable public policies.

Parliaments play a key role in ensuring inclusivity and taking citizens' interests into account. The partnership with UNICEF demonstrates how trust and joint efforts can contribute to sustainable development.
