On August 5, Kazakhstan’s president arrived in Turkmenistan to take part in the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC3). He was personally welcomed at Turkmenbashi Airport by Chair of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, Orda.kz reports, citing Aqorda.
President Qasym-Jomart Toqayev said that relations between Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are on an upward trajectory and showing positive momentum.
Dear Gurbanguly Myalikgulyyevich, I am glad to see you again on the sacred Turkmen land, in brotherly Turkmenistan. I gladly accepted your invitation. The very fact that such an important forum is being held with the personal participation of the UN Secretary-General is evidence of Turkmenistan’s high international standing, which for 30 years has pursued a policy of positive neutrality. Kazakhstan fully supports this policy, Toqayev said.
Berdimuhamedow praised the special nature of Kazakh–Turkmen ties. Both sides stressed that the peoples of the two countries place great importance on strengthening friendship and good-neighborly relations.
The UN notes that there are 44 landlocked countries worldwide, including all Central Asian states. The conference is intended to serve as a platform for finding solutions and partnerships to help these nations realize their potential.
