Today, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov left on a working visit to the Republic of Tajikistan to participate in the fifth Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia, as well as in the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the founders of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea.

The head of Turkmenistan was seen off by officials at the capital's International Airport.

Upon arrival at the Dushanbe International Airport, where the National Flags of the Central Asian countries were raised on flagpoles and a Guard of Honour was formed, the President of Turkmenistan was met by officials. According to the established good tradition of hospitality, the head of the Turkmen state was presented with flowers.

Strengthening and building up effective interaction with neighbouring states in the region, with whose peoples the Turkmen people are united by strong ties of friendship, cultural and civilizational community, and historically established ties, is one of the priority areas of the foreign policy of the independent neutral Fatherland. This creative, peace-loving strategy, initiated by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and now consistently implemented by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, has received universal support and recognition from the international community.

Advocating for a systematic and balanced approach to issues of regional cooperation, taking into account the interests of all parties, based on mutual respect and goodwill, Turkmenistan puts forward specific proposals in this direction. In this context, it should be noted that our country has repeatedly become the venue for regional summit meetings.
