President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov confirmed the initiative to develop a Global Security Strategy, announced at the 78^th session of the UN General Assembly in September this year. The head of state said this at the summit of CIS heads of state in Bishkek.

As the head of state noted, recent international events clearly demonstrate that maintaining peace, strengthening security and stability will be the main priorities of world politics.

«In this context, today Turkmenistan, taking into account the realities and trends of world development, proposes to begin discussing the possibilities of developing a Global Security Strategy under the auspices of the UN. This initiative was announced by us during the 78th session of the General Assembly», –noted the President of Turkmenistan.

President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted that the Global Security Strategy should include three important areas.

The first is the principles of preventive diplomacy as a tool for preventing and neutralizing conflicts and threats, eradicating the causes that give rise to them.

The second key component of the Strategy is the use of the potential of positive neutrality as a political and legal category.

Thirdly, the Global Security Strategy must take into account the importance of restoring a culture of trusting dialogue as a guarantee of ensuring peace.

«We consider the development of the Strategy as an important step towards strengthening the atmosphere of mutual understanding and cooperation, including within the Commonwealth, also to resolve pressing issues of a political, economic, environmental, environmental, humanitarian nature, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in general», - emphasized the head of Turkmenistan.
