The National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presented Turkmenistan’s second major initiative at the plenary session of the COP31 Leaders’ Summit. This was reported by the news agency ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

The proposal provides for the establishment of the Ashgabat Climate Dialogue — an international platform for discussing the climate agenda and coordinating joint actions. The new format envisages open cooperation involving interested international partners.

As a first practical step, it has been proposed to hold an international meeting in Ashgabat in 2027 as part of the dialogue.
