“Dialogue is a Guarantee of Peace.
New Philosophy of International Relations”
On December 11, 2021, Ashgabat hosted the International Conference “Policy of Peace and Trust – Basis of International Security, Stability and Development”. At the International Forum of Peace and Trust, the President of Turkmenistan came up with an important initiative to promote a new philosophy of international relations in terms of coordinated joint activities to strengthen peace, security and stability and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
