The Hero-Arkadag first of all wished the leader of the friendly country a successful meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States in the city of Samarkand, which has an ancient history, expressing confidence that the Summit under the chairmanship of Uzbekistan will be productive, and its results will be a significant contribution to the further deepening of interaction and multifaceted cooperation between the Turkic-speaking countries.

Touching upon the topic of bilateral relations, Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized that Turkmenistan attaches great importance to strengthening comprehensive ties with Uzbekistan based on strong ties of friendship and good neighborliness that have passed the test of time.
