Today, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov left for an official visit to Malaysia.

The Head of State was seen off by officials at the capital's international airport.

The development of constructive relations with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region is one of the priority areas of Turkmenistan's foreign policy, based on the principles of neutrality, peacefulness, mutually beneficial and equal cooperation with all interested countries of the world. The strategy initiated by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov in this direction is consistently implemented by the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

Turkmenistan and Malaysia are linked by friendly relations based on traditions of mutual respect. At present, cooperation between our countries is successfully developing within the framework of international organizations, in particular, within the framework of the United Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Non-Aligned Movement and other international organizations.

In this regard, the traditional relations between our countries can be shown as a clear confirmation of effective cooperation. Bilateral relations in various spheres, including trade and economic, cultural and humanitarian, are regularly developing and strengthening.

The role of mutual high-level visits in the development of interstate cooperation is great. In this regard, the official and state visits of the National Leader of the Turkmen people Hero Arkadag to Malaysia in 2011 and 2016, as well as the visits of the heads of government of the friendly country to Turkmenistan in 2014 and 2019 are a clear confirmation of this.

The bilateral documents signed during the visits create a reliable contractual and legal basis for cooperation.

This first visit of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Malaysia and the upcoming high-level talks will be another step in deepening traditional relations and expanding their scope.

After some time, the President's plane landed at the International Airport of the capital of Malaysia, decorated with the national flags of the two countries.

From the airport, the Head of State went to the residence allocated for the duration of the official visit.

The official visit of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Malaysia continues.
