Acting in this logic, in 2023,<br>the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov put forward an<br>initiative to develop a Global Security Strategy from the rostrum of the UN<br>General Assembly. We see it as a system of views and principles for the<br>organization of interstate and international relations in the 21st century.<br>The strategy entails a comprehensive approach to addressing global<br>challenges, based on the interconnection of all aspects of security \u2013<br>military-political, economic, energy, environmental, biological, man-<br>made, informational.<br>Based on this, the Global Security Strategy is intended to serve as an<br>updated international legal framework for inter-state relations, reflecting<br>the existing objective realities and needs of global development. Therefore,<br>in conceptual terms, Turkmenistan considers the idea of developing the<br>Strategy to be a logical and organic link in the affirmation of the principles<br>of peace and trust.<br>It is proposed to include a number of areas of UN activity, in particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>preventive diplomacy as a tool for preventing and neutralizing conflicts<br>(based on UN General Assembly resolutions 72\/7, 75\/272, 77\/273 \u201cRole of<br>the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central<br>Asia\u201d of 17 November 2017, 16 April 2021 and 24 February 2023,<br>respectively);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilization of the potential of neutrality for the peaceful, political and<br>diplomatic settlement of disputes and contradictions (based on UN General<br>Assembly resolutions 75\/28 \u201cThe role and importance of a policy of<br>neutrality in maintaining and strengthening international peace, security<br>and sustainable development\u201d of 7 December 2020); And 71\/275<br>\u201cInternational Day of Neutrality\u201d of 2 February 2017);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>restoration of a culture of trusting dialogue (based on UN General<br>Assembly resolutions 73\/338 \u201cInternational Year of Peace and Trust, 2021\u201d<br>of 12 September 2019; 77\/32 \u201cInternational Year of Dialogue as a Guarantee of Peace, 2023\u201d of 6 December 2022; 78\/266 \u201cInternational<br>Year of Peace and Trust, 2025\u201d of 21 March 2024);<br>Thus, in proposing the idea of developing a new mechanism aimed at<br>ensuring global security, Turkmenistan strictly relies on the solid<br>international legal framework of the UN, reflecting the views of the world<br>community on current challenges and ways to overcome them.<br>The year 2025 is set to highlight a significantly more prominent and<br>effective role for developing countries in world affairs. Genuine trust can<br>only be built on the basis of an equal and balanced dialogue that recognizes<br>the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, respects their<br>political sovereignty, concerns about the fair distribution of energy<br>resources, access to technology, non-discriminatory approaches to the<br>problem of atmospheric emissions and environmental preservation. It is<br>obvious that sustainable security and stability on a global scale can only be<br>ensured by adhering to these conditions.<br>In the International Year of Peace and Trust, Turkmenistan proposes to<br>place special emphasis on regional security issues.<br>In this context, our country proceeds from the need for the most attentive<br>attitude to the problems of Central Asia and neighboring regions,<br>encompassing the full range of problems existing here \u2013 political, social,<br>humanitarian, environmental, energy, water management issues and others.<br>This approach is grounded in the following resolutions of the UN General<br>Assembly adopted at the initiative of Turkmenistan: \u201cZone of Peace, Trust<br>and Cooperation in Central Asia\u201d, \u201cTreaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free<br>Zone in Central Asia\u201d, \u201cCooperation between the United Nations and the<br>International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea\u201d.<br>Turkmenistan advocates for a clearly defined regional dimension in the<br>UN\u2019s activities \u2013 both in terms of substance and structure. We believe that<br>such an approach is essential to making joint efforts more specific,<br>functional, and effective. There is a firm conviction that the time has come<br>to launch an inclusive, full-scale, multi-level and systemic dialogue<br>between Central Asia and the UN. This direction will become one of the<br>priorities of Turkmenistan&#8217;s activities during the International Year of<br>Peace and Trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Year of Peace and Trust logically coincides with the 30th<br>anniversary of the universal recognition of the permanent neutrality of<br>Turkmenistan, in accordance with the UN General Assembly resolution<br>50\/80 \u201cPermanent Neutrality of Turkmenistan\u201d, unanimously adopted on<br>12 December 1995. The neutral status of our country was reaffirmed by<br>General Assembly resolution 69\/285 of 3 June 2015.<br>Over the years, the evolution of our neutrality has proven its compliance<br>with the basic values and goals of the UN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkmenistan :&nbsp; The trends and events of the last few years indicate serious changes in international and interstate relations, the intensification of global and regional contradictions, and the emergence of&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":24585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,13],"tags":[487,1624,1796,641],"class_list":["post-24584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-main-stories","tag-ambassador-of-turkmenistan-to-pakistan","tag-embassy-of-turkmenistan-in-pakistan","tag-govt-of-turkmenistan","tag-united-nations-charter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24586,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24584\/revisions\/24586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
