The Embassy of Turkmenistan in Ukraine participated in the fifth Outlook World Culture Festival, a festival that celebrates a multitude of cultures from across the globe, which took place at the Mystetskyi Arsenal National Cultural and Art Complex in Kiev on October 27.
A theme of the presentation, prepared by our country’s diplomatic mission, was very reflective of this year designated as “Turkmenistan - the Heart of the Silk Road”. Ukraine’s first lady Marina Poroshenko, who was a guest of honor at the festival, became acquainted with our country’s national display stand and exhibits, showcasing the rich diversity of the Turkmen nation’s culture and traditions.
The festival annually runs an OUTLOOK project in the field of cultural diplomacy. The current event, organized with the assistance of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, featured national traditions and art from 35 countries.
