Pakistan stood by Turkmenistan\u2019s fair stance for 3 decades: Dr Tariq<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turkmenistan\u2019s policy of permanent neutrality has served as a model for diplomatic balance, fostering regional stability, economic cooperation, and global peaceinitiatives for three decades.<\/p>\n

Speakers shared these views at the International Conference on \u201cThe Role of Neutrality in Strengthening International Peace,\u201d organized by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in collaboration with the Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies (IPDS) the other day.<\/p>\n

The event marked three decades of Turkmenistan\u2019s global initiative, culminating in the UN General Assembly\u2019s unanimous adoption of 2025 as the \u201cInternational Year of Peace and Trust,\u201d co-sponsored by 86 nations, including Pakistan.<\/p>\n

They said neutrality is not a passive stance but an active diplomatic approach that fosters peace, stability, and economic cooperation in an increasingly polarized world. Turkmenistan\u2019s model of permanent neutrality, recognized by the United Nations, serves as an effective tool for conflict resolution, regional integration, and global mediation.<\/p>\n

They said positive neutrality allows states to engage with diverse international actors, promoting trust, non-interference, and balanced foreign relations. Amid global tensions rise and alliances shift, adopting a neutral foreign policy has enhanced Turkmenistan\u2019s diplomatic leverage, trade opportunities, and security partnerships while preventing entanglement in major power rivalries.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, Tariq Fazal Choudhary, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs while praising the Turkmenistan\u2019s permanent neutrality has reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s commitment to strengthening diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties with Turkmenistan. He noted that both nations share common goals in energy security, trade expansion, and regional connectivity through initiatives like the TAPI gas pipeline. He commended Turkmenistan\u2019s leadership in promoting multilateral cooperation and peace diplomacy.<\/p>\n
