This year, under the motto ‘Independent Neutral Turkmenistan − the Homeland of Purposeful Winged Horses’, the country continues to pursue its socio-economic development objectives. This is reported by the online news site AsmanNews.

The unity of the people remains one of the key principles of Turkmen society. The traditions of harmony, peace and mutual understanding are regarded as an important part of the national heritage.

The Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan plays a special role in this process. At a meeting of its Presidium, the main focus was on preparations for the national forum, which is to take place on 23 September at the ‘Maslahat Köşgi’ Palace in Ashgabat. Participants will review the country’s socio-economic development and set out objectives for the future.

The activities of the Halk Maslahaty are aimed at strengthening the unity, cohesion and well-being of the people, as well as the country’s further development.

The tradition of collegial discussion of issues of importance to the family, society and the state has its roots in the history of the Turkmen people. Today, this tradition is being further developed through the work of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan as a modern platform for strengthening national unity.

Peacefulness, good neighbourliness and open dialogue remain key pillars of Turkmenistan’s domestic and foreign policy. At the same time, the preservation of national values and social harmony is regarded as the foundation for the country’s further development.
