As Turkmenistan prepares to celebrate its 33rd anniversary of independence, a significant announcement arrived from the United Nations headquarters in New York. On September 6, during the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, the "UN Friendship Games" Resolution, initiated by Turkmenistan, was unanimously adopted by member states.
The global importance of this resolution is underscored by the fact that 87 countries co-sponsored the document. It highlights the world’s recognition of Turkmenistan’s peaceful foreign policy and sports diplomacy, rooted in the initiatives of National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Chairperson of the Halk Maslahaty, and continued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov through a comprehensive national strategy.
The adoption of this resolution is a significant international endorsement of Turkmenistan’s work in promoting sports—one of the key priorities of state policy under President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. Turkmenistan not only actively participates in international competitions but has also become a hub for major regional and global sporting events.
The success of Turkmen athletes on the global stage is a testament to the effectiveness of these efforts, further enhancing the country's stature as a member of the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia, while solidifying its reputation as a global sports nation.
In this resolution, the UN General Assembly recognized and supported the extensive work Turkmenistan is doing to develop sports and physical wellness, as well as to promote international cooperation in these fields.
President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized that Turkmenistan is committed to strengthening its productive relationship with the United Nations. The country continues to play a crucial role in formulating cooperative solutions to important regional and global issues for the benefit of all humanity.
The adoption of this UN General Assembly resolution is yet another acknowledgment of the international standing of neutral, independent Turkmenistan and a reflection of the success of its forward-looking foreign policy, carried out under the wise leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
