Members of the government and heads of relevant departments took part in the discussion. Issues related to the preparation of festive events in the country and abroad, as well as organisational and economic aspects, were considered.

It was noted that Turkmenistan continues to pursue a peaceful foreign policy and is promoting international initiatives, including the UN General Assembly resolution proclaiming 2025 as the International Year of Peace and Trust. In this regard, a major forum is planned for 12 December, as well as a whole range of cultural and business events.

Preparations include the creation of programmes of speeches, the organisation of receptions for foreign guests, the formation of volunteer groups from among young teachers and students, as well as the provision of high-quality communications and services. Particular attention is being paid to international information support, the preparation of souvenirs and printed materials, and the opening of trading platforms.
