This creative competition, held with the participation of student youth in the International Year of Peace and Trust—a year marked by the glorious 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s neutrality—aims to deepen the understanding of the importance, meaning, and essence of Turkmenistan’s internationally recognized neutral status, as well as the country’s foreign policy based on the principles of equality, mutual understanding, good neighborliness, peace, and humanism.

The organizers express their confidence that the competition will help reveal the creative talents and abilities of Turkmen youth, increase their interest in their chosen professions, and contribute to the worthy upbringing of the younger generation, devoted to their Motherland and to the spiritual and moral values of their ancestors.
