The holding of the International Forum on Peace and Trust in Ashgabat in December 2025 will be of great importance, as the upcoming event will turn Turkmenistan into a center of world diplomacy within the framework of the proclamation of the initiative “2025 – International Year of Peace and Trust”.

According to the State News Agency of Turkmenistan, the forum will become an important platform for exchanging experiences, discussing new global challenges and developing joint solutions. This will allow the country to strengthen its position in the global peacekeeping system and draw attention to its model of positive neutrality.

Turkmenistan's experience, which serves as an example for other states, demonstrates that the principles of neutrality and preventive diplomacy are effective tools for ensuring peace and stability. In addition, the country's active role in the international arena allows it to make a significant contribution to resolving global issues.

In modern conditions, the concept of peace and trust is an effective counteraction to global challenges. The adoption and implementation of the UN resolution "2025 - International Year of Peace and Trust" has a profound geopolitical significance that goes beyond the scope of an ordinary document, because it offers states a multilateral platform for achieving common goals, regardless of their political views, and contributes to the creation of a stable international environment.

Turkmenistan consistently emphasizes the inextricable link between peace and security and economic development. In this context, the International Year of Peace and Trust serves as an important platform for discussing such pressing issues as energy security, transport connectivity and environmental diplomacy. Jointly addressing issues related to the creation of reliable and diversified routes for energy resources, the development of transport corridors connecting regions, climate change and the efficient use of water resources strengthens relations between states and contributes to the preservation of peace.

The proclamation of 2025 as the “International Year of Peace and Trust”, especially the support for the initiative to hold the Forum in Ashgabat as the culminating event, testifies to the recognition by the international community of the country’s leading role in promoting peace, the source notes.
