At the Kazan International Economic Forum, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov - former president and adre of the current Turkmen head of state - called for "an Islamic initiative in the name of peace, mutual understanding and trust" to be presented to the UN. He pointed to the relations between Russia and Islamic countries as a model.
Kazan (AsiaNews) - The president of the Senate of Turkmenistan and former president of the republic, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, led his country's delegation to the Kazan International Economic Forum in Tatarstan on "Russia and the Islamic world" in recent days, speaking to support “fidelity to traditional values, peace and social justice, which must connect to contemporary trends and innovative implementations in the economy”.
The senior president recalled that last March 21 the UN General Assembly approved Turkmenistan's proposal to proclaim 2025 as the "international year of peace and trust", thus proposing to the participants to "draw up an Islamic initiative in the name of peace, mutual understanding and trust”, to be presented together with the UN. It would be a "road map" made up of a series of approaches and proposals based on the postulates of Islam as a "religion of peace, goodness and justice".
Berdymukhamedov also recalled that in Turkmenistan and other Turanian countries the jubilee of the 300th anniversary of the poet Makhtumkuli Fragi is being celebrated, expressing the desire that "this commemoration does not end with solemnities and demonstrations, but becomes the starting point for forming a new cultural awareness and scientific collaboration between our country and Russia, and which can inspire writers and scholars from many countries in common projects".
Together with the president of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, the Turkmen "father of the homeland" visited the Russia Halal Expo exhibition, with many testimonies of the common activism between Turkmens and Tatars, also in the entrepreneurship of land and air transport, with heavy transport vehicles and helicopters.
A special space was dedicated to the Turkmen art of carpet production with its special techniques and methodologies, as well as the corner of the "famous healing herbs of Turkmenistan". All the invited countries exhibited their most notable achievements in the food, medicine and light industry sectors.
The Prime Minister of Tatarstan, Aleksej Pesošin, also wanted to underline how "the Islamic world has always been and remains one of the most important economic partners in the world for Russia, and in recent years our relations have grown increasingly intense".
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a greeting message to the participants of the Forum, stating that Russia's joint initiatives with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation are today "decisive for addressing the most important issues at the regional and global level", and must be increasingly supported. Berdymukhamedov commented on these words at the conclusion of the Forum, stating that "Russia and Islamic countries provide a great example of how relations between the state and the people must be built: with respect and affirming the rights of each, but also satisfying the needs and needs of all social partners, without using forms of pressure or threats".
The Turkmen leader thanked Minnikhanov "for his great work as a politician and diplomat, in cultivating open relationships full of mutual trust with the leaders of many states, and we see many successes awaiting us on the path we are following together".
