President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov left for Tehran at the invitation of the Iranian side to attend the inaugural ceremony of Hassan Rouhani as the new President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The high-ranking officials bade farewell to the Turkmen leader at the Ashgabat International Airport.
The Iranian officials greeted President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov upon arrival at Tehran Mehrabad International Airport.
From the airport the motorcade of the leader of Turkmenistan headed to the Hafezieh Palace of the complex of Saadabad - the residence of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov during his visit to Tehran.
Then the Turkmen leader headed to the building of the IRI Majlis where the festivities to mark the inauguration of the new President of the Islamic Republic of Iran took place.
After the ceremony was concluded, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov headed to the complex of Saadabad where he had a meeting with IRI President Hassan Rouhani - the new leader of the friendly neighbouring country, who had gained a decisive victory in the presidential election in June this year.
The fact that the Turkmen leader was the head of state with whom the new Iranian leader held talks first was another evidence for great importance attached by both states to the promotion and enhancement of bilateral relations.
Sincerely congratulating his Iranian counterpart on the election to the highest post and his assumption of office, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov focused on Turkmenistan's continued commitment to the long-standing dialogue of friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation with neighbouring Iran. Taking an opportunity, the two leaders exchanged greetings on the holy Muslim holiday of Oraza and expressed their best wishes to the peoples of Turkmenistan and Iran.
Thanking the Turkmen leader for the congratulations and wishes and for the attendance at the inaugural ceremony, IRI President Hassan Rouhani emphasized that Turkmenistan remained a strategic partner of Iran.
"Our country offers its vision for the ways to address modern challenges and stands ready to promote broad international cooperation in the interests of progress, stability and sustainable development with all interested partner countries and major international organisations in compliance with the status of neutrality," the Turkmen leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said, emphasizing that particular importance was attached traditionally to the enhancement of multifaceted relations with neighbouring countries.
Noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran supported the important international initiatives put forward by the President of Turkmenistan to strengthen peace, security and universal wellbeing, the new leader of Iran focused on the positive impact of these initiatives on the processes taking place in Central Asia and the world at large. In particular, the important initiatives to implement the ambitious energy projects contributing to sustainable economic development of the region as well as the projects aimed at building up its transit transport capacity put forward and promoted consistently by the Turkmen side have been welcomed.
A focus of talks was interaction between Turkmenistan and Iran in the world arena. Exchanging views on the issues of regional and international politics of mutual interest, the sides focused on the continued commitment of the two nations to centuries-old relations of friendship and good neighbourliness and their willingness to deepen and expand bilateral contacts.
Upon concluding the meeting, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and President Hassan Rouhani expressed belief that Turkmen-Iranian relations based on equality, respect and mutual benefit and meeting national interests and development priorities of the two nations had a bright future ahead.
Heartily congratulating once again the Iranian leader on his assumption of office, the leader of the Turkmen state wished every success in his work to Hassan Rouhani and happiness, peace and wellbeing to the Iranian people.
