Turkmenistan celebrates 23-rd Anniversary of Independence

Vienna (OTS) - On October 27, 2014, Turkmenistan celebrates the 23-rd
Anniversary of Independence, which is inscribed into the glorious
history of the people of Turkmenistan.

The consciousness and life of Turkmen citizens have changed within
the years of independence that were remarkable for the progressive
growth, fundamental reforms and historical events. The large-scale
work that promoted the social and economic development of the country
as well as the increase of the living standards of the citizens of
Turkmenistan was done and the national model of the competitive
economy was created.

Under the leadership of the President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly
Berdimuhamedov, the great successes were achieved in the economic,
political and cultural spheres of life of the Turkmen society within
the past years of the sovereign development. The relations with the
countries all over the world reached the qualitatively new level
based on the principles of the good-neighborliness, humanity,
peacefulness and friendship. Today, independent neutral Turkmenistan
puts forward constructive initiatives in the name of the global
peace, prosperity and sustainable development that contribute to the
growth of the authority of the country at the international arena.

According to the main principals of the Turkmen foreign policy,
Turkmenistan is guided by strict adherence to the principles of
neutrality, non-interference and resolute commitments for peaceful
political means to resolve disputes. The Government of Turkmenistan
puts importance of preventive diplomacy and early resolution of
conflicts giving support to the efforts of the Regional Centre for
Preventive Diplomacy in Central Asia (UNRCCA) with headquarters in
Ashgabat - the capital of Turkmenistan.

During the years of independence between Turkmenistan and the
Republic of Austria established a very warm and trusting
relationship, the success of which was determined through the deep
mutual understanding and friendship between the two leaders.
Clear indication of the progress of the development of relations
between Turkmenistan and the Republic of Austria were the official
visit of H.E. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the President of
Turkmenistan, to Austria in November 2008 and the visit of H.E. Heinz
Fischer, the President of Austria, to Turkmenistan in October 2011.
Turkmenistan and Austria are linked not only in the economic but also
in the political partnership. On a number of foreign policy issues
Turkmenistan and Austria have common views; both countries build
their policy on the basis of the status of permanent neutrality.
Partnership relations are filled with already set content due to the
significant strengthening and expansion of ties between the two
countries. The good tradition is the participation of representatives
of Austria in various forums, festivals and other events that are
held in Turkmenistan.
