ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, April 13. Turkmenistan
has called for the development of a Global Security Strategy,
emphasizing the interconnectedness of energy, environmental, and
other dimensions of international security, Trend reports via the press
service of the Turkmen Government.


The statement was made by Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Chairman of
Turkmenistan's Halk Maslahaty, during his address at the
International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum, held at the Hofburg
Palace in Vienna, Austria.


In his address, Berdimuhamedov noted that Turkmenistan, as a
major energy producer, pursues a responsible policy aimed at
strengthening international cooperation in energy security and
climate stability.


The forum, organized by the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Government of Austria,
addressed key issues such as energy transition, green hydrogen, the
digitalization of energy systems, and the climate-related
challenges that accompany these shifts.







The initiative for a Global Security Strategy was first
presented by Turkmenistan at the 78th session of the United Nations
General Assembly in 2023, where President Serdar Berdimuhamedov
proposed the launch of international discussions under the auspices
of the United Nations to create a comprehensive framework for
global security.


This concept builds upon Turkmenistan’s longstanding diplomatic
doctrine of permanent neutrality, which was officially recognized
by the UN in 1995. It aligns with the country’s broader policy of
promoting preventive diplomacy, fostering dialogue, and advocating
for the indivisibility of security across political, economic,
energy, environmental, and informational domains.


Since its introduction, Turkmenistan has consistently reaffirmed
and championed the initiative in multilateral forums, presenting it
as a holistic approach to global stability. This approach
integrates both traditional and non-traditional security
challenges, including energy security, sustainable development, and
international cooperation, all within the framework of the United
Nations.
