Today, the opening ceremony of a new building for the UN Office in Ashgabat. The ceremony was attended by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who arrived in Turkmenistan on a visit the night before, TDH reports.
The event was also attended by heads of ministries and departments of the country, rectors of universities, heads and staff of UN missions in Turkmenistan, as well as the media.
In his speech, Antonio Guterres expressed confidence that Turkmenistan-UN cooperation will continue to develop dynamically in all priority areas.
Turkmenistan views the UN and its specialized structures as the supporting pillar of the entire system of global interaction, a guarantor of preserving peace and maintaining the sustainability of the existing security architecture on the entire planet.
Evidence of this is the accession to more than 90 international conventions, which have become a reliable basis for long-term partnership in the framework of joint projects and programs, the source notes.
