Saeed Seyed Agha Banihashemi, the faculty member of the School of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran:
— This is my first visit to Turkmenistan. When I saw our Turkmen brothers for the first time, I felt a special connection. In Turkmenistan, relevant work is being carried out at the state level to preserve the values related to the past history of the Turkmen people and pass them on to future generations. Witnessing the beauty of the Turkmen land left an unforgettable impression on us.
The holding of the international competition in Turkmenistan shows that in this country, youth policy is given great importance at the state level, and all opportunities are created for young people to gain experience in their chosen fields. Our Iranian people, like the Turkmen people, pay great attention to passing on the noble ways inherited from our ancestors to the younger generations and educating them in the national spirit.
My hospitable Turkmen friends created warm memories every minute of my trip. I take this opportunity to wish the young contestants the best of luck. I advise them to act purposefully, to work tirelessly, and to always live up to their profession. I will not be wrong if I say that we have seen the realization of the dream of the great Pyragy, the thinker and poet of the Turkmen people, in Turkmenistan. We will come again to Turkmenistan, the place where dreams come true.
