The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, speaking at the third Antalya Diplomatic Forum, called for assistance to the UN in fulfilling its main mission - ensuring peace.
«The UN should be assisted in fulfilling the main mission laid down by its founders - ensuring universal peace, equal cooperation and development. This is not just our moral duty, but is directly related to our responsibility to realistically and objectively assess the risks and threats emerging in the world today», –said the head of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan.
According to the National Leader of the Turkmen people, it is necessary to intensify the interaction of other international structures and associations with the UN, as well as to enhance the role and functions of regional representative offices and UN agencies in addressing issues of maintaining peace on the planet and world order.
According to Hero-Arkadag, the main tool in carrying out these tasks is the potential of neutrality and preventive diplomacy, which is an attributable element of ensuring conditions for building a unified dialogue aimed at creating a safe and sustainable global architecture, taking into account the interests of all participants.
In this regard, Chairman Halk Maslahaty emphasized that a clear confirmation of this is the activities of the UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia, headquartered in the capital of neutral Turkmenistan - Ashgabat, which was created by a unanimous decision of the members of the UN Security Council and with the support of all countries in the region.
«In our opinion, this Centre can become an example of a systematic approach to resolving conflicts and overcoming difficult situations - both existing and potential», –emphasized the National Leader of the Turkmen people.
According to Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, neutrality, its norms and practical methods should become more effective and broader than the means used today in the international community.
The status of neutrality provides for non-alignment with blocs, non-use of military force and non-participation in conflicts. And the more countries follow these principles, the more supporters of this approach there are, the less likely conflicts will arise, added the head of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan.
