signing the Helsinki Final Act in 1992, becoming a participating
state of the organization. The OSCE Centre in Ashgabat has been
operating since 1999, facilitating cooperation across political,
economic, environmental, and humanitarian dimensions.
In recent years, Ashgabat and the OSCE have prepared and begun
implementing multi‑project cooperation plans. In 2024, some 37
joint projects across fields, including peace and security,
environmental protection, and humanitarian issues, were planned,
and for 2025, around 40 projects were scheduled with support from
the OSCE Centre and relevant Turkmen agencies. These initiatives
encompass conflict prevention, economic and environmental
cooperation, strengthening democratic institutions, human rights
protection, and addressing statelessness.
