Italian Newspaper Article Shines Spotlight on International Year of Peace and Trust
An article titled “Turkmenistan Declares 2025 the International Year of Peace and Trust” was recently published in the Italian newspaper “Giornale Diplomatico” by Secretary-General Domenico Palmeri and geopolitical analyst, Professor of the Institute of Italy for Asia (ISIA) Fabio Indeo. The article, supported by the Embassy of Turkmenistan in the Italian Republic, highlights President Serdar Berdimuhamedov’s decision to dedicate the year to promoting peace and trust globally.
The declaration of 2025 as the “International Year of Peace and Trust” aligns with Turkmenistan’s foreign policy principle of permanent neutrality. Throughout the year, Turkmenistan will organize various initiatives and events to showcase its commitment to regional security and stability. The UN General Assembly’s unanimous approval of a resolution, proposed by Turkmenistan, solidifies the importance of this initiative and coincides with significant anniversaries for the country and the United Nations.

These diplomatic achievements demonstrate Turkmenistan’s dedication to promoting peace and stability in the region.
Overall, the article sheds light on Turkmenistan’s important role in global peacebuilding efforts and its ongoing commitment to fostering trust and cooperation on an international level.
